Hey folks! So I finally left the world of small fitness bands and upgraded to a good smart watch (Galaxy Watch 5) and so far I’m really impressed with the native apps and fitness tracking.
However, I’m wondering what are the best apps available in the Play Store that work well on watches. Do you have any tips?

After going thru a couple watches in the past and fiddling with may apps I realized that I don’t use 99% of them. I just use it for workout tracking (Google Fit) an quick glances at SMS and email notifications.
Everything else I do on a bigger phone screen …
Whatsapp - having whatsapp on your watch really helps during meetings where you can reply to your friends and colleagues discreetly. This almost made me want to get the sim versions of the galaxy watch.
Shazam - Its a really great tool for you to scan and receive info about the current music that’s playing. No more awkward phone shazam in public.
Google Home - a great way to turn off your lights and devices straight from your watch.
These are the apps i use a lot on my watch.
I use WatchMaker for custom watch faces. The program I use the most is 2FA Hub which allows me to set up my two factor auth codes from my watch for logging into any site where I set up 2FA.
