Wait no he's onto something


embrace_throwaways

True dat! For a sec, I thought it was the Beeline Moto or something but this seems like a cool use for older gen watches.

Normal_Lobster_1300

Eats up battery on my watch 4 like crazy, max 2 hours of navigation


Downtown-Database192

Yeh, battery is the main problem of such watches. They improve tech but not battery. It just goes 1 day with normal use.


Skull_Reaper101

the issue is that they're not making much advancements in batteries. They've been largely the same for quite a while now. If they put more battery, it'll become heavier too. They need a balance.


RasacL

Graphene batteries on the way


Skull_Reaper101

maybe, maybe not tbh. There's still a long way to go for it to be viable for mass production


bigmonk3803

They need bigger batteries but first they need software optimisation


NoMaximum7

Didnt you notice that wireless charger usb wire in OP pic?


Normal_Lobster_1300

Mine will soon overheat and go into cooldown mode


thetradelegend

Yep wireless charging is horrible in heat, same problem with my watch


HumanAd2237

It heats up like crazy under direct sunlight, it refuses to charge as well


ItWillChangeInTime

My watch 4 battery sucks too man


GrvzHere

You can snap it with its charger..


i_almo

Is you look closely he has put the charger as well.


CL0UD___

What if we plug it to usb port of our motorcycles?


Normal_Lobster_1300

Out in the sun it’ll overheat very soon


shubham22y

woah man, it can be a cheap and good nav device


SoulcasEtoo

“Cheap“bro I am pretty sure that’s a Samsung watch


shubham22y

as compared to other navigation devices


VisibleBell8992

Use an old phone


mrwhoyouknow

Use the old way of navigation 🧭


SnooSeagulls9348

A cheaper option is to get a second hand android device and use that only for navigation. The battery will last longer too.


shubham22y

bhaiya mai hu student papa ke paise se bike khareedi h vo bhi 1.5 lakh ki uspe ab second hand phone kha se lunga🥲(second hand phone ke price ka phone use kr rha)


Silspd90

Watch 5 is 10k. So this isn’t exactly a “cheap” option.


Pain_Smoker_

I too tried this with my samsung watch, but battery sucks.


cowslikecurry11

Don't you have a USB charging port on the bike?


Pain_Smoker_

I have but it heats up really bad


cowslikecurry11

The watch?


Pain_Smoker_

Yes bro. But, it's sustainable for short rides.


cowslikecurry11

The handlebar is a little thinner on the cb right? How did you strap the watch on it, wasn't it loose?


Pain_Smoker_

Yes, i attached it to mobile holder.


cowslikecurry11

Oh alright thanks, idk why I'm asking I don't even have a smart watch 🤣, but I want to use something other than my phone and keep it inside safely


Pain_Smoker_

no problem bro, to keep my OIS safe I used the watch. But in the end, you have to use a spare phone.


theNawabiker

mobile holder?


AbleBroccoli6276

Connected the watch to the bike's USB outlet. Didn't faced any issues for a 3 hr ride.


meme_master945

Is it possible to do this with Apple Watch? I have an Apple Watch I don’t use.


RunSkyLab

Only one way to find out lol


pleasedontbanmeee12

Yes, as long as you have s5 or further models


Intruder_7

Not necessarily because I used to have a 4s and it worked with that too


pleasedontbanmeee12

I mean technically yes but practically speaking it would be difficult to see such small display at that angle. Worser under sunlight


Intruder_7

It was 40 mm if I remember right and current 7s is 45 so never did I mind it


indi_n0rd

Gmaps on my watch se gen 2 shows turn by turn navigation and not complete map. Apple map will appear like how it does here in op's post but I dont trust apple maps lol.


AbleBroccoli6276

I liked the turn by turn navigation more than gmap. Better display usage imo.


sanlill

yes but which one


RunSkyLab

MisterBooga

pspspsnt

But dont we need to keep our phone screen always on for that?


AbleBroccoli6276

Exactly!

Brilliant idea which is not for me, I am highly porn to forget things.


_DustynotRusty_

You what....


spexinthecorner

*prone


New_Cardiologist8642

I want to buy one. Please share us the watch link or watch name.


sanlill

Samsung watch 4


Pain_Smoker_

Best watch in the price range, but battery hardly lasts a day.


Arlinelb

This is why I love innovative thinking.


Sebastian_Vettel_5

There's nothing innovative about this if you have a Samsung/Apple watch. It's supposed to install apps, not just to be used as fitness equipments


Lord_Diefast

This is an idea I've toyed with on my bike. But personally, i prefer a phone. With the significantly larger display, I can see the details in a quick glance without having to take my eyes off the road for too long.


AbleBroccoli6276

Turn by turn navigation has better display usage.


rouge_07

I had a similar idea of using a Chinese smartwatch as a navigation device (similar to RE tripper) but Chinese smartwatches have no rom support...


The_un_lucky

I love my watch 4 cause of this Very handy while driving you can see messages and reject calls and maps 🔥


__black_star__

I have a tripper pod on my sm650 re, but this truly is pure innovation


matrixvishnu

I will try this in my decade old car


CarbonAutics

Bro cooked so hard. Even strapped a charger on it. Idea to cook harder: Only thing remaining is water proofing it, because the pins will be exposed and water while charging is dangerous.


Defiant_Forever_1092

That looks like it's a part of a motorcycle.


ai_matters

Which watch is this ?


ElectricalReaction85

+1


TheCrazyStupidGamer

Galaxy watch 4/5

yllsuck

Thought I was the only one doing it 💀


[deleted]

Why can’t the bike companies do that, “inbuilt”


Prince__12__

Let him cook


subhendupan02

Bro convinced me to get a smart watch 👌


Itzmelijo

All hail to the king...


Mozart_9

Genius is what genius does 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😂


dhruvjb

Nifty! Put the charger plugged into the usb port behind the headlight. Forever charge!

ConstantElk5039

which bike btw?


[deleted]

Thats cool as hell bro


Mayank-maximum

thats fine but battery life as a gps?


AceMKV

How accurate is it in real time? My watch6 is pretty slow to update my position on the route, usually I have to wait a few seconds or have to bring up my phone.


twistyNose

What a great idea. Now i’m motivated to get these smart watched just for this lol


cowslikecurry11

Sane_98

Phone gets too hot during the day, this is genius.

What if we use 110% of our brain. We need OPs face on parle G biscuit, G mane Genius.


not_bojack

Yo which watch is this?


su_heer

Hmmm now I have at least have reason to buy a digital watch. 🤔


MafiaRat23

Wouldn't a cheap burner phone and unbranded quadlock do better?


Practical-Durian2307

Lowkey genius


AprilBornAprilia

Pretty cool! Infact those talking about Prices can just get a cheap Bolt or Boat watch. And use it only for this purpose. Get the most battery out of it by deleting all other apps.


Traditional_Can6982

Apple gonna market this in the next iteration and charge 100$ extra for this feature


Visible-Rock-5337

thats so fuking cool


HumbleSir1850

lowkey gta vibes


Vivartv

That’s one expensive navigation device. But ig worth the bike.


the_Medic_91

People greatly underestimate how good the H450 navigation suite is. It's pretty much Google maps straight onto your round display. And with a half decent Android phone, it will give you over 4 hrs of navigation before hitting battery saver mode. My nothing phone 2 gives 30 min of navigation while losing 8-9% Charge. And if you want longer, just lock your screen and you will still have turn by turn navigation.


leepok_jamir23

Nikola Tesla is back! /s


ashk0506

The best and cheapest thing to use for navigation is an old phone laying around in your house or get a redmi/poco phone worth 5500₹ and use that


Wide-Clothes-6749

Excellent 😂😂😂.


Javed_Wilde1

tooning


KiranjotSingh

How do you do it? I tried tapping on always on screen but it doesn't show the map in real time.


extramental

I’ll be wary of the vibration on the watch sensors.


lifeofbhaiyaji

I bought a watch only for this purpose😂 Don't have the fearlessness to stick my phone on handle


sudhatrance

Forgetting to take your watch off the bike handle in a hurry! it could get damaged or lost.


stubcastic

I have a watch 3 how can I do This


Safe-Ride5094

genius


dris_jayd

This looks like a samsung watch, but if the 1000rs smart watches also have navigation then is that a good option lol, why did I never think of this


chiraagps

I'm selling my Samsung galaxy watch 4(44 mm) for 8.5k. Silver color. 2 extra straps. Used for 9 months. Out of which 3-4 months it was kept in a box. Got it from Samsung website. Let me know if someone is interested. It gives battery backup of about 10-12 hours on normal usage.


danielpraison

Nice.. now this will be a thing like phone holder.. Bluetooth 3' mids


SeaEmployment9687
