Templates for clock face projects?

Hello,

I couldn't find a clock face to do what I want in the FitBit app so I'd like to create my own. I basically need the clock face to display a number that I'm grabbing from a web API.

For example, let's say I want to get the price of Google's stock and display this on my watch face. I have an API that outputs the price in JSON. How exactly would I create this functionality? I'm reading around and it looks like I'll need to create a companion app that will pull the data from the API, then another project app to grab the data from the companion app and display it on the clock face. I'm very new to FitBit's SDK and development too somewhat. Are there templates to help me build this? Or any how-to guides to help me build what I'm trying to create? I've tried digging around but have been unsuccessful so far. Thank you.

You're on the right track. The companion code and the device code would be in the one project, though.
