If you have used Apple Watch’ s remote phone taking function, you would know this “Camera Watch “ is just a “better than nothing “.

Save your time, let alone your money. -No support for wide angle camera or alternate camera modes -takes up to 10 seconds to take photo -will not take photo at all sometimes -requires wifi to take picture -User interface is non-existent It’s a shame there’s not a better app for Garmin Watch's to take photos with.

Have a Garmin Epic and the camera app on the watch will trigger the shutter on the phone. Must use the companion phone app which is very limited and has to be purchased . Would be nice if you could also start a video on the phone. Make sure the watch and phone are connected.

If you expect this to turn your wrist into usual low cost remote camera shutter, you would be disappointed. It doesn’t work with the iOS camera app. It runs its own and very limited camera app.

The app doesn’t work with my iPhone and Garmin Venu Sq at all. Followed all steps. How do I get a refund? Also, even if it did work, it doesn’t use the iPhone camera which has advanced settings, like Portrait, so what good is it if you can only use a dumbed down camera. What a waste of a good idea.

Tried using this with my Garmin and won’t connect. Emailed to troubleshoot with no luck. Don’t waste your money.

I first synced the Fitbit app with my Versa. It’s important to Keep the Fitbit app running in the background. Open the camera remote watch app on the iPhone. Open on the Fitbit camera remote app. Take a picture remotely. It’s a little slow connecting which is why I’m giving it 3 stars.

I picked it because it was the first camera app in the Fitbit gallery. It wants too many permissions for my liking. Run in background, access the internet and access to ALL of your photos. It only takes a pic. You can’t trigger it to record a video. I’m glad it only cost $2. I deleted it right after I tried it.

Don’t bother. Thought it would be an easy app with a quick setup. Followed the video and the FAQ. All to no avail.

This App. does work occasionally, but it’s not reliable even when your on a hi speed WiFi connection . To use you have to wait for connecting to phone and Fitbit sync. once and if it connects, it then works.
