How can I recognise gestures in an Apple Watch app?

Question

Is it possible to do gesture recognition on the Apple watch?

For instance, Apple have demonstrated using swipe gestures on the Watch, left, right, up, and down. Is it possible to capture these in a third party Watch app, and link them to methods in my WatchKit extension?

Also, is it possible to do custom gesture recognitions, such as a circle or triangle gesture?

Answer 1

It's not currently possible on Apple Watch. Use menu instead.
