The new Samsung Galaxy Watch looks like a regular wristwatch, but it hides a lot of different functions. It can play music, track heart rate, show notifications. But it should be said right away that, unlike Wear OS or watchOS, there are not many applications for Tizen OS.
There are no apps for the Galaxy Watch on the Google Play Store, they can only be downloaded through the Galaxy Apps store, which can be accessed using the app Samsung Wearable on your smartphone.
Camera Remote
To the application Camera Remote worked as intended by the developers, you first need to install it on your smartphone. After that, you will be able to control the smartphone camera and record video. The functionality differs from similar selfie apps. Here, the smartphone is used as a camera, transmitting images to the watch.
Map My Run
Map My Run может пригодиться для пробежек на открытом воздухе. Вы можете спланировать маршрут своей пробежки. Приложение использует встроенный GPS для отслеживания времени, расстояния, скорости и частоты пульса. Данные автоматически синхронизируются с этим же приложением на смартфоне, поэтому вам не нужно будет брать с собой смартфон на пробежку. Возможно редактировать параметры своих пробежек, просматривать детальную информацию, смотреть маршрут на карте.
GymRun Companion
MapMyRun lets you track your runs or walks, but what about your gym workout? GymRun — is a great workout app available on the Play Store. GymRun Companion will connect to your smartphone and synchronize all completed exercises with the mobile version and vice versa. Now you will not need to carry your smartphone with you during training to record data on the approach.
Calculator
A simple calculator. With its help you can quickly calculate the size of a tip or split the bill between friends without taking your smartphone out of your pocket. You can download it Here.
PPT Controller
PPT Controller allows you to control your slide show using your Galaxy Watch. Once you connect your watch to your computer via Bluetooth, you can start a slide show, go forward or back in the presentation, see how long the presentation has taken, and control the cursor. Additionally, you can control the speed of the presentation and set the time interval for receiving a vibration signal.
LED Scroller
LED Scroller Displays the text you type on the watch face. You simply type the text, choose its color, and press Start. The text will be displayed until you close the app. You can change the display speed and the size of the letters by rotating the bezel. Great for making friends at parties or as a digital nameplate.
Here We Go
Using the watch's built-in GPS, the app Here We Go allows you to build a route to the desired location. Here WeGo can store about 100 countries in its memory, and you can use it as an offline navigator. Although the fully interactive mode requires an internet connection, you can still easily navigate, for example, in a new city without even taking out your smartphone. The map is optimized for the watch face, and you can use voice input to select a point on the map.
Facer
Facer — is a collection of watch faces for Galaxy Watch, Gear S2/S3. Simply download the Facer app, then long press the watch widget to open the list of available watch faces. Many watch faces will be shown, you can choose by swiping left or right. Once you find the watch face you like, tap on it to install.
Pujie Black
Pujie Black — a dedicated watch face app that lets you create completely unique watch faces for your Galaxy Watch. In addition to features such as a watch face editor, a selection of settings, a user-downloadable library, etc., you can also add your own animation, connect the Task Menu, add a calendar, import weather forecast, and much more.
Sleep as Android
While the Galaxy Watch has built-in sleep tracking functionality, it lacks some of the features offered by Sleep as Android. It has a smart alarm clock that allows you to connect Spotify and songs of your choice as an alarm tone. The automatic snore detection and recording feature makes this one of the best apps for watches. You can listen to the recording when you wake up in the morning.
Gear Voice Memo
Entering text on the Galaxy Watch isn't very convenient. The app Gear Voice Memo uses the built-in microphone in the watch and records your voice notes. You can record an audio file of up to six minutes per note and then send it to your smartphone.
Spotify
You can use this app as Spotify Remote Control on your smartphone or as a standalone music player. Thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi of the Galaxy Watch, you can access your favorite tracks at the touch of a button. And by connecting headphones via Bluetooth, you can use the watch as a player.
Camera Remote Control
Это приложение позволяет делать снимки или записывать видео, управляя камерой смартфона. Часы будут работать как пульт дистанционного управления для камеры. Вы можете установить таймер, записать видео, сделать снимок, настроить зум и переключать камеры (передняя — задняя). Приложение особенно пригодится, когда надо будет сделать групповое селфи. Для установки перейдите по ссылке.
SmartThings
Using SmartThings, you will be able to control all devices that support the IoT concept using your watch. You will be able to check the status of your washing machine, set the temperature for your air conditioner, turn on your TV, etc.
Samsung Internet Browser
Although browsing websites on a watch face is not very convenient, nevertheless, if you need it, then try it Samsung Internet Browser. It works together with the browser of the same name on the smartphone. I won't say that it is convenient, but sometimes it can be useful.
Spirit Level Pro
The Galaxy Watch has a built-in accelerometer that responds to movement. The app Spirit Level uses it as a digital level. The app simply takes readings from the sensor and displays a level indicator (an image of an air bubble). You can use it to check the level when you are doing something with your own hands.
Face or Cross
Почему-то, когда нужно подбросить монету, у меня ее никогда не оказывается при себе. Знаю, что использовать вместо этого приложение может показаться стрельбой из пушки по воробьям, но поверьте, это весьма практично. Приложение Face or Cross не занимает много места и делает то же, что и подброшенная монета — показывает одну из двух сторон монеты.
