However I'm also a data freak who likes tracking all runs run via GPS, watching heart rate, seeing how interval training affects my HR and overall pace performance over time, etc. In the past, running consisted of having this stupid arm pocket strap on my bicep with my phone zipped up in it, then a heart rate monitor strapped to my forearm, and some wireless headphones. This is not gonna be a rant or review of the Fossil Sport, but I want you to understand my use case: I run. TBH I'm not a watch wearing person, I have no desire for a tiny smartphone on my wrist throughout the day. Most people find that they receive the biggest benefits from using both Foursquare and Swarm, depending on what they’re looking for.So I got myself one of the fancy new smart watches, a Fossil Sport. We will point out You don’t have to pick one app over the other. Try out Foursquare Swarm for a simple user interface that’s accessible right from your wrist. It’s a straightforward way of searching for a location, especially when your alternative option is firing up a map app on your smartphone. Search for items using different filters and categories to help nail down the perfect spot. You don’t have to keep your phone nearby to use Foursquare Swarm- which affords you the chance to browse options discreetly from your wrist wherever you are. It also allows you to see where your friends are so that you can easily make plans. The location-based app is part social network, part directory. With its fresh design, Foursquare Swarm offers one of the most simple and convenient ways to find great places to eat, drink, and have a good time in whatever city you’re visiting. You just need to keep your phone by your bed, and the app will do the rest! In fact, thanks to the use of multiple smartwatch sensors like accelerometers and heartbeat sensors, this is one of the best ways to get accurate information on sleep patterns. That way, you can keep your device charging while your Android smartwatch serves as a sleep monitor for the smartphone’s tracking technology. Just as the original version uses your phone to track your noise and movement as you sleep, Sleep as Android for your smartwatch allows you to track sleeping patterns without leaving your smartphone on the bed. Sleep as Android is an extension of the same, remarkable sleeping technology in the regular Sleep as Android app. Need to provide music at a party? Just use your smartwatch to connect to a Bluetooth speaker, and keep track of what’s playing from your wrist. Smartphone running out of battery? Let your smartwatch take the strain. Want to leave your smartphone at home while you jog? Track your exercise and play music while you go using just your smartwatch.
Why bother downloading Spotify onto your Wear OS device? It’s just a lot more flexible. Free users will be able to use their data connection to stream music (in Shuffle Mode) or podcasts as they go, but Premium subscribers will be able to download songs and albums directly to their smartwatches, forgoing the need for an internet connection and gaining the ability to listen outside of Shuffle Mode. Spotify is probably the biggest music streaming service in the world, and it recently announced that you can now play your favorite tunes directly from your wrist. Either way, they’re all must-haves for your Wear OS smartwatch.
Most of these apps still rely on a partner app on your smartphone, but a few offer stand-alone functionality.
With all of that in mind, here are our picks of the best Wear OS apps.
