    What I also love a lot about App in the Air is that you can switch to their watchface while travelling so you could see updates or where you're at the moment without opening the app. I always switch to that watchface before and during the flight for convenience.

    Overall good video. Constructive criticism.... The time stamps are bad. Easily 5 to 15 seconds off, and #4 is way off.
    Example..... App #2 time stamp is 7:45 it should be 8:01 that's 16 seconds... And if you click the 8:01 time stamp, you'll see how it goes right into App #2 ... but if you click the 7:45 time stamp you keep hearing about the previous app.

    I'm looking into switching from Amazfit GTR 2 to Wear OS watch but there was obsoletely nothing interesting that would inspire me to switch from one the other on that list đŸ€” Most of those are either useless for me like flight tracking, golf, google assistant or notes. Or I already have equivalent on Amazfit - excellent tracking, weather, remote control of all multimedia run from my phone.
