These are the apps that can never miss on my Android compatible smartwatch

Smartwatches have long ceased to be a simple decorative element in which to see the time and, incidentally, mobile notifications. Its advances in the field of health are a good proof of this, as well as the fact that Gradually, developers created new applications or took mobile a smart watch los.

SO, if you have a watch with WearOS you can find a good list of compatible apps. And it is that, despite the small size of the screens of a smartwatch, I can assure you that they are extremely useful. Next, I tell you my favorites.

To avoid getting lost on any route: Google Maps

I won’t go into all the benefits of Google Maps as one of the most popular GPS apps at this point. Yes, on the contrary, I can say that works great on smart watches so that we can know a route with a slight movement of the eyes when we are behind the wheel and, of course, as a guide when we are walking through a city.

With music and podcasts everywhere: Spotify

I’m also not discovering anything new here with a well-known platform like Amazon Music. However, I can, as in the previous case, speak of It is an essential application on the watch if we leave the house without a mobile. Whether it’s going for a walk disconnected from my phone or exercising outside, downloading songs to my watch with Spotify is very simple and allows me to always listen to my favorite music or podcast. by connecting a Bluetooth headset.

Additional customization: Facer

If there’s something that makes every smartwatch special, it’s its spheres and with the ‘Facer – Wallpapers’ app we find over 15,000 options to customize the clock. The application is very complete, but also very easy to use, being able to find, download and install the spheres very easily. In addition, we can find styles of all kinds, from more minimalist and formal designs to more hooligan aesthetics.

For fast payments without taking out your wallet: Google Wallet

No one likes to pay, but making the process as easy as possible is always appreciated. Therefore, the Google Wallet application with integrated Google Pay is essential in order to be able to make contactless payments without the need to remove the physical card or use the mobile. Its operation is just as simple as on mobile, since it is a question of opening the app, choosing the card and bringing our wrist closer to the dataphone.

Sticky notes and shopping list: Google Keep

Google Keep might not be the most comprehensive notes app, but it more than does the job of organizing quick notes, keeping information at your fingertips, and creating lists. Knowing that At many times I can’t get my cell phone out, Keep saves my ballot. And the example of the shopping list is real, because I find it very comfortable to be able to consult it and cross out items while I walk the cart around the supermarket.

Simple, simple and effective: Calculator

Literally called “Calculator for Wear OS”, I think this app doesn’t need much explanation. Simple and clear, it allows you to perform quick calculations with the particularity that supports long operations, including the order of operations. I have to say, despite years without an update, it still works.

Always well hydrated: WaterMinder

Being well hydrated is essential for our health and if you are, like me, one of those people who forget to drink all the water you need on a daily basis, applications like WaterMinder will help you. In it you can set alerts and reminders to drink water and thus meet daily hydration goals.

The most essential of all: Google Assistant

Although with obvious cuts compared to the Google Assistant on mobile, it can also be enjoyed on the watch. This, yes, requires a special activation process. Everything happens by downloading the app from Google Play, setting the mobile to American Spanish, activating the assistant on the watch and then returning to the mobile to reconfigure the Spanish Spanish language.
