This is a fantastic companion for the smartphone app. Gives you the relevant information and functionality (map, position, track, record) and no fluff.

Locus maps is great for the outdoors. I love the fact that I can use it on my watch, rather than constantly having to take the phone out of the pocket to check if I am still on the trail.
seems to rely on a live connection to your phone for GPS that makes it useless uninstalled
The smartphone app is wonderful, so I don't understand why the smartwatch app is so inadequate. I used it since my first smartwatch (Tizen), at the time it seemed wonderful. Many years has passed and nothing changed, this one is identical to the old Tizen app. In the forum there are plenty of suggestions, but it seems there is no interest in improving this app. Modern smartwatches have barometric altimeter and compass but these sensor aren't used at all. It's a real shame.
