While this sounds like a shortcoming compared to other Android smartwatches, the reality is all non-Apple Watch smartwatch platforms, whether it's Google's own WearOS, Samsung's Tizen, Huawei's HarmonyOS, or Fitbit's OS, have anemic third-party app support anyway.

There's virtually no app ecosystem to speak of, meaning everything you can do with the band is already present out of the box, and you can't go and download more things to do. Horizontal swipes cycle through all the various features like music player, exercise tracking, etc. The UX is pretty standard for wearables: swipe down from the top to see notifications, swipe up from the bottom to access a set of features that you can customize in the companion app.
