IMPORTANT note for wifi connectivity issues with differen watch brands/models: For the app to control your Insta 360 camera, your watch should be able to conneect to the camera's wifi connection. (SSID ending with .OSC and password is usually 88888888 for various Insta 360 cameras, at least correct for One X2 and One R) Some watch models do not support 5 Ghz wifi, and the cameras mostly use 5 Ghz. In such case, you have to force the camera to 2.4Ghz wifi. You can find information about this if you search like "How can I force Insta 360 camera to 2.4 ghz wifi only"

Comments on Watch Control for Insta360 for Android
★★★★★Cryogenic Noble KG· Jan 14, 2024
Actually works. Using Samsung Galaxy watch 5 pro and ultra 23 phone. Had to switch watch Wi-Fi to insta360 device, but it works. Allows you to see camera view on the watch. Will test out pro version now that I know basic works. Basic is camera preview and photo button.
★★★★★Jason Shallcross· Sep 19, 2022
I can confirm this works quite nicely with a One R and a Watch 4 Classic too, despite getting a connection error message. One thing I'd like to see is a 3-second timer, though there does seem to be about a second delay between pressing the button and it taking a picture. It would be nice if it gave you a countdown with a beep. Updated to a 5 star for motivation ;)

Did not work for me. Shows not connected...even after connecting to the X5's Wi-Fi. The camera connects, but nothing is shown on the watch (Samsung Watch 7).

Will not work with Galaxy Watch 4 and Insta360 One RS
