When it is coming to the ecosystem, Apple is better. Their devices can work together as they have used a similar OS. Other than Apple, all other manufacturers provide the ecosystem experience with their devices. Other manufacturer equipment may not work like Apple. But they can do some tasks, and Samsung already released the app for the Samsung Galaxy Watch series. You can use this app to take photos on your mobile if you have a compatible mobile. This feature may work as an S Pen Air gestures in Note series. All you have to do is install the Camera Controller app in Samsung Galaxy mobile from Galaxy Store, and you should Sync it with the Galaxy Watch. After the configuration, you can take photos using your Samsung Galaxy Watch.
What is the use of the Camera Controller App in Samsung Galaxy Mobiles?
This app can help you where you want to take pictures and can’t access the mobile. Say you want to take a wide selfie; If you reach the phone or use the timer, you may not get the correct selfie. If you’re going to capture high-quality photos using multiple rear cameras, you have to take it by yourself. When you can fix the mobile and want to take high-quality images, you can use this app. Simply, If you have Note series phones and you know how S pen works, the feature here is similar to that. It will not work on all mobiles and watch series. I will list the supported devices below.

Wrap Up
Compare with the S Pen Air Gestures options. Galaxy Watch gives a comfortable experience where you can see and take perfect camera shots. Also, It supports videos preview where you can pause and stop the videos. But, When you have a display option, you should give a lot of options to control the Camera other than some basic limited controls. We can expect some improvements in the future. But until we have only basic options.
Compare with other manufacturers, Samsung always utilizes the other device options like a link to windows, where you can have more control over your mobile from PC.
