As an Apple Watch user I found myself searching ages for apps on the home screen of my watch. Apple used a hexagonal layout for arranging round icons and I was wondering if the layout makes icons harder to find.
As part of my MSc project I wanted to know how hexagonal icon arrangement affects search performance. The study had to approximate the real-world (ecological validity) and needed to be completed within 12 weeks.
