Yes, you will be able to record directly from the smartwatch, you just need to tap on the start button and you are good to go.

It’s also very easy to find the location because you’re tracking the location from your wrist.

Now, I do use Google Maps on my smartwatch whenever I visit a new city, so give it try and see whether you like it or not.

By the way, I don’t customize my watch faces very often but if you love to do that then make sure you use this app as it has more than 100,000 watch faces, you just need to use the app on your smartphone to access all the watch faces.

By the way, it is free to use as an app but as someone said, nothing comes for free, so you will see ads here and there.

This is a 2in1 game that you can play on mobile as well as on a smartwatch, it only has 28kb in size.

It’s a simple puzzle yet it can be addictive, so be careful with it.
