I have never used a smartwatch so this may be an absolute noob question.
Anyway, so I commute via bike and would like to use Google Maps for navigation.
But I don’t want to mount the phone to the handlebar because apparently the vibrations cause issues with the camera lens? So I thought of mounting a cheap smartwatch and connecting it to the phone for maps/navigation functionality. That way the phone can be safely in my bag/pocket while only the watch is exposed to the elements.
I saw some boAt watch offering something similar but it has its own app and doesn’t use Google Maps. I would much prefer the Google Maps layout because it’s familiar.
So my first question is, is that possible? And if yes, which cheap smartwatch would you guys recommend for this specific function? Since it’s gonna be mounted on a bike it should have a decent level of dust and rain ingress protection.
Thanks for your time.
