Data snapshots for configurable screen on a wearable device

Various embodiments of the present application set forth a computer-implemented method that includes receiving at a mobile device from a first data source, a plurality of live data snapshots, each live data snapshot included in the plurality of live data snapshots being associated with a different point in time, generating, based on a presentation template and a first live data snapshot included in the plurality of live data snapshots, a first presentation data snapshot, receiving, at the mobile device from a wearable device, a plurality of data requests, wherein each data request included in the plurality of data requests comprises a different request for data to be presented by the wearable device and is received at a different point in time, and a first rate of receiving the plurality of data requests by the mobile device is lower than a second rate of receiving the plurality of live data snapshots by the mobile device, and in response to receiving a first data request included in the plurality of data requests, transmitting, by the mobile device, the first presentation data snapshot to the wearable device.
