Author Recommends 4 Lesser-Known Apps for Samsung Galaxy Watches

3 articles · Updated · How-To Geek · Aug 4

Summary

  • Four apps—Sectograph, Stratum, SimpleWear and WearMouse—are highlighted as underused additions for Samsung Galaxy Watches running Wear OS, including the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and older Watch 4 models.
  • Sectograph leads the list by turning the watch face into an analog calendar, showing daily events as time blocks for a quick view of current and upcoming appointments.
  • Stratum adds wrist-based two-factor authentication, while SimpleWear extends phone control with toggles, app launching and touchpad functions from the watch.
  • WearMouse pushes that idea further by turning the watch into a wireless mouse, touchpad or keyboard for phones and computers across Windows, macOS and Linux.
  • The recommendations underscore the broader pitch of Wear OS: Play Store access gives Galaxy Watch owners more utility beyond mainstream apps like Spotify, Keep and Maps.
