Question
We have been developing wearable devices with an advanced HMI. For a new line of products, we want to create devices that seamlessly interact with major brand smartwatches on a software level, but ALSO on a hardware level so that they match in design and functionality and can upgrade e.g. the Apple watch on a hardware level as well. As the devices would be separate from the Apple/Android/etc. products, do we need to worry about design patents or other IP from Apple or others?

Patents protect whatever are in the patent claims, so if you make, use, or sell whatever is protected by the patent claims, you infringe the patents. Consult a patent professional as to your intended uses, products, and the like in order to uncover patents which you may potentially infringe.
