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.

User reviews
Great work - this is what is was waiting for since I bought the ONE X2. No extra remote necessary that one has to carry around and perfect when you are using the 3m selfie stick for example. THANK YOU
