A tiny utility for one job: setting a mechanical watch. A countdown with haptics tells you when to push the crown in, with the time to set the hands to right below it. The date, day, month, year, GMT hand and moon disc clicks are on the same screen. A status line says whether it's safe to quickset the date. The clock is checked against Apple's time server. No account, no ads, no data collected.

Could you build this?
Yes A countdown utility with haptics and date/moon disc display is a simple mobile UI, and the watch-setting logic is well-documented enough to implement from domain knowledge.
