Samsung has been rolling out a number of Gear smartwatches over the years and these run on the Tizen operating system instead of on the Android Wear. This has lead to a number of great apps to be created for the smartwatches with a list that is set to get even larger. Here are some of the best apps for Samsung Gear smartwatches.

Watch face customization

One of the biggest advantages provided by smartwatches is the ability to customize the watch face and usually, such devices come with preloaded options. However, for those who are looking for more choices, the Watch Styler app offers access to several other free and paid designs. Additionally, users can create a unique private watch face with the app.

Fitness

The Nike Running app is a great option when users want to track runs and it comes preloaded on watches like the Gear S where it works along with the inbuilt GPS. This means that the user does not have to necessarily pair their watch and take it along with them when running. Another great fitness app for the Gear watch line is MyFitnessPal. It helps users keep tabs on their meals and the amount of calories they consume. It can also be used to scan the bar codes that are present on various labels to build a food database.

Note taking

Evernote is the best app there is for note taking and with it, users get the ability to even take photos and record audio. Both of which are possible if the Gear smartwatch comes with a camera.

Travel

One of the best travel apps available for the Gear smartwatch line is the Travel Translator. With the app, which is available for free,  users can just speak into the microphone and have their speech translated into nearly 37 languages.

Emergency apps

The Life360 app is designed to keep people informed when daily events or emergencies take place. When, for instance, children reach their homes, this app will send an alert to parents and in the case of an emergency, preformatted texts can be sent.
