Is there a watch that looks like Pebble or Garmin Venu (e.g. small and square) that is good for navigation? I want to walk and look at the watch to see which direction to go next. It would be great for traveling in a foreign city.
The Apple Watch has an interesting vibration-based navigation. Assume you’re going straight and if it vibrates you have to turn left or right. Additionally, it has specific vibration patterns for left and right so you don’t have to look at the watch at all. I use it while driving to remind me to pay attention to turn instructions or exits.
At a different angle: can there be a "watch face" that shows a bit of map, and directions, while the proper navigation app is running on the phone?
Yup, I want to set a destination, walk, and only look at my watch for direction.
