Hello, there's something I'm curious about, I'm actively an Apple Watch user, I usually use the navigation feature actively, but is there anyone among you who uses Apple Watch with different and useful applications?

What do you think are the most efficient applications if you use them?

Funny you should mention this. Just yesterday I was thinking about wearing my Apple Watch less because I am tired of it telling me what to do..

Stand up. Take a moment to be mindful. Are you rowing a boat right now? Start workout?

Enough.

From a GPS notification perspective, I find it a little distracting, and I prefer to be scanning and riding than looking at my wrist, which often requires moving my glove out of the way.

Frankly, I like to use it in navigation.

And there are definitely different applications for people who use motorcycles, or someone who uses it here and can give advice.

I wear mine everywhere. I'm too lazy to change my clock battery in my Gts.

I have one of the Ultra versions and the haptic tap is very noticeable/strong, so no need to look at the watch, it takes a while to get use to it and you have to slow down some, but I find it useful.

So, when you use the Apple Watch for navigation, which app do you use and how do you set it up? I have used Apple Maps set to bicycle directions, but it refreshes very, very slowly, at the point where is not that helpful.

I would use the Apple Watch for directions on the scooter if I could, but rides where it would help always have me wearing a coat and gloves.

These make it difficult to see the watch.

RAM mount and a Quad Lock work much better.

Yes, the tactile touch is a very effective form of notification, especially on turns. I think it vibrates hard from 200-300 meters ago to the place where you will return.

I think apple maps are fine, but I've discovered a new navigation for motorcycle users, I'm in the trial phase right now, the only problem is that Apple Watch support doesn't exist:
