Features & Capabilities

Navigation Wear is a handy Chrome extension that brings GPS navigation directions from your smartphone directly to your compatible smartwatch. It automatically launches on your watch once you start turn-by-turn navigation on your phone, allowing you to view directions easily without needing to check your phone constantly. The app supports a range of smartwatches such as Samsung, Wear OS, Huawei, Fitbit, Garmin, and Amazfit.

Users can customize the look and feel of their navigation display using premium settings for a more personalized experience. To use Navigation Wear, the companion app must be installed on your smartwatch. This tool enhances on-the-go navigation, making it convenient and safe, especially when combined with popular map services on your phone.

User Reviews

Users praise navigationWear for outdoor and walking navigation with strong accuracy and watch compatibility on some devices. However, recurring issues include cross-device connectivity problems, stability crashes, and bothersome permission/notification access requirements. Google Maps dependency and limited alternative-map support hinder usability for non-Google setups, while support responsiveness is occasionally noted as inadequate. Overall, it’s a useful navigation tool for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, but reliability and permissions/Maps integration need attention across many devices.

Pros

Useful navigation for outdoor activities (backpacking, camping) and walking directions
Very accurate navigation
Works well on some watches (e.g., Vivoactive3) and serves as a helpful smartwatch navigation companion
Helpful for city riding and daily navigation
Generally good/useful app that many users appreciate

Cons

Watch connectivity issues across multiple devices (Instinct 2 Solar, Amazfit Active 2, Garmin series) leading to inability to connect or frequent disconnects
Crashes and instability (constant watch vibrations causing crash; Garmin crashes; occasional freezes)
Permissions/notification access problems (too many unwanted permissions; notification access often needs reactivation or cannot be granted)
Dependency on Google Maps and limited compatibility with other map apps (requires Google Maps; poor support with HERE WeGo/OsmAnd)
Support responsiveness concerns (slow or no responses from support)

Recent reviews

App no longer shows distance till turn and location name from where to turn after upgrading to latest android version. Tried contacting developer multiple times, no response. I have premium as well.

Nice app to add a feature not present on many watches. However, it seems not to be updated and it does not work on recent android versions anymore (I have android 17 on pixel 8). Hope it receives an update soon!
