I do miss the Tizen battery life, more like 4 days, but >2 is my minimum. The Maps app is pretty great for showing the next turn when walking, and you can pull up a map view if there's confusion about the exact direction. It works pretty well and the large display is very readable.
Ah ok, I'm used to having to hold my phone in my hand when using Maps in an unfamiliar place, but maybe I just haven't tried using a watch with that feature. I'm not sure I want to go to 2+ day battery life though.
I'm very simple with my watch, it just needs to tell the time, and buzz me on notifications. WearOS sounds like overkill for me. xD
