About

Remote control the phone camera shutter from your smartwatch and take a picture without touching your phone. Please watch the video and read the FAQ: http://www.cameraremotewatch.com/ Open the phone app "Camera Remote Watch" (paid app available in iPhone App Store and Google Play Store) and adjust the camera view. On your watch: open the app "Camera Remote Watch" and tap the Camera button to trigger the camera shutter on your phone. The photo will be stored in your phone photo gallery and you can access it with the iOS "Photos" app or the Android Photo Gallery app. A copy of the photo will be shown on your watch, so that you can check if it looks good or if you should take another picture. Please make sure that the watch and the phone are connected before starting to take pictures. Be patient when downloading the new photo (the watch is slow). If the watch display goes black during the download of the photo, just tap the watch screen to switch the display on again. If the picture download was interrupted by a watch Notification display and stopped working, press the Back button and try again. Garmin requires internet access when they transfer your pictures to your watch. But you can still take pictures when you are offline. Instead of seeing the camera picture on your watch, you will then get a text confirmation that your picture was successfully stored on your phone. When Garmin needs more than 15 seconds to display your picture, the picture download will be aborted and you will get a text confirmation that the picture was successfully stored on your phone. This may be the case if you have a large, high resolution watch display or when the phone connection is slow. Please read the FAQ: http://www.cameraremotewatch.com/faq/ All our smartwatch apps are free. No In App Purchase, No Subscription, No Ads, No Soliciting for Donations. You pay only one time for the phone app and can switch watches without having to pay again (Fitbit, Amazfit, Garmin ...).
