Use your computer keyboard:

  • Enter = SELECT/ENTER
  • Up Arrow = UP
  • Down Arrow = DOWN
  • ESC = BACK
  • m = MENU

The simulator is for running Connect IQ apps (and widgets, data fields and watch faces) only. No other watch functionality (such as the built-in widgets or settings menu) are available. Instead, most of the configuration done via the settings menu is done using the "Settings" menu option within the simulator, where you can set things like units, language and 12/24 hour time.

That said, @Eugène is not correct about button presses. Watch events, such as button presses, press and hold or touch screen swipes (depending on the device) are all supported within the simulator, allowing you to simulate functionality as if it was running on a actual device.

It's been a few months since I used this environment, but as far as I can remember the "watch simulators" do not support button press. I used the Round Watch Simulator, as that has buttons on the Simulator that fires the actions as required.

After compile and deploy though it works 100%.

Would be nice if all of them had that.
