The document outlines essential steps and considerations for developing applications for the Apple Watch, including setup, design constraints, and communication between the app and its WatchKit extension. It highlights the importance of focusing on core functionality due to the device's limitations, such as restricted input options and absence of custom gestures. Additionally, there are links for further inspiration and resources on building Apple Watch apps.
