Embodiments include methods, systems, and computer program products method for obstruction free smartwatch interactions. The computer-implemented method includes pairing, using a processor, a smartwatch, and a companion device. The processor detects one or more obstructions to a display area of the smartwatch. The processor further determines that the one or more obstructions are caused by a user attempting to interact with the smartwatch. The method further projects content associated with the smartwatch onto a surface by the companion device in response to the one or more obstructions being caused by the user attempting to interact with the smartwatch. The method further receives a first input at the smartwatch via an interaction with the projected content associated with the smartwatch.
