Where is the Force Touch API for Apple Watch?

Answered by Max108 in 35989022

There isn't one (see Apple Staff answer here)

WatchOS 2 does sense pressure as a range, but there is no direct access to touch events in watchOS 2 - no API - so not progammable.

"Menus" are currently the only way for your app to respond to a force-touch (but the level of pressure required to trigger that event is determined by watchOS 2 - you have no control over it).
