Older Samsung smartwatches run Tizen OS instead of Wear, so the app selection is different than on newer watches. However, Samsung owners can access the Galaxy Store and download compatible apps from Google Play. Here are some of the best apps for Tizen smartwatches.
HERE WeGo is a free navigation app with several features, including offline maps and directions with traffic information. It also offers transit times and prices, car-sharing options and cost estimates, and bicycle and pedestrian routes. The app can even give you important information about your route, such as how hilly your bike route is.
Spotify is a popular music streaming platform. The company partnered with Samsung to create a Galaxy app so it works perfectly with your devices. Premium users get offline listening, on-device streaming, text and voice search, and full playback controls.
If you have smart home devices like kitchen appliances, thermostats, light bulbs, or garage door openers, the SmartThings app is a must-have. Compatible with a ton of devices, the app lets you do things like turn on the lights before you get home or open the garage when you pull into the driveway. Being able to control your home from your watch is incredibly convenient, especially when you’re driving.
