[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Hello, I find it interesting to highlight the uses that can be applied to the smartwatches, in addition to the obvious ones. In fact some of the uses that I write below until recently I didn't even know about them. I think it is a great way to promote the use of Wear OS by highlighting the uses that can be applied to the smartwatch. Do you know more uses of Wear OS smartwatch?
