Smartwatches do a lot more than we acknowledge. They do many things in subtle ways that have a big impact on how we go about our days. That can be anything from showing us our heart rate to telling us the weather and in some cases, even play games.
In this article, we’re bringing to you the top 11 games you can play on your Samsung Galaxy smartwatches.
Horse Runner: The game
Developer: sivasysh | Size: 407.57 KB | Price: $2.04
If you use Chrome, you must have played the infamous T-Rex runner game that’s built into Chrome and shows up when your internet is not working.
Horse Runner is the exact thing, except the game is running on your watch instead of a browser and you’re running a horse instead of a T-Rex. It’s pretty colourful and can easily keep you entertained for quite some time.
