Recording on the watch

With the Wear OS app you can record from your wrist without taking the phone out. The watch records; the phone transcribes.

Install it on the watch

On a Wear OS watch (such as Galaxy Watch) paired with your phone, install 1B Recorder from the watch's Play Store. Add its tile or complication to start with one tap.

Record

Tap Record. The tape runs around the bezel; tap Marker to mark a moment and Stop to finish.

When the phone is near, the recording is sent by itself and appears in your library ready to transcribe. If it isn't, it waits on the watch (Saved on the watch: 2. They'll be sent when your phone is near.) and goes as soon as the phone is back.

Space on the watch

In the phone's Settings, Keep on the watch after sending decides whether the watch keeps recordings for 24 hours after sending or frees the space right away.

Part of Pro

Recording on the watch is part of 1B Recorder Pro.

Written for 1B Recorder 1.0 on Android 11 or later, with its Wear OS watch app. Real screenshots with example data.
