Using Android Wear as GPS Navigation

[Alex_NJ]

Hi Guys,
I am in the market for a smartwatch, which is sleek enough to wear every day as a smart watch, but also I can use to cycle and use for navigation with GPS.
I am looking at the Sony Smartwatch 3 as it looks quite nice and has built in GPS.
However, there are more stylish looking watches I like the look of from the likes of Asus, LG and Moto.
So... Is it possible to use the GPS on my phone which will be in my pocket, and use the watch for instant navigation instructions?
I am thinking about apps such as Ghostracer for example
Thanks in advance!

U can use it as ur gps, but it does use more battery power when u do that.

Although I love my moto 360, I don't use it for GPS, because it hogs the battery. Also keep in mind that the Moto 360 does not have built in GPS so you have to carry your phone with you anyway!

I don't mind this so much. Maybe I will look for a watch with a bigger battery.

If I can get around 2 hours of GPS navigation which has been paired with my phone, I think I will find the watch very useful
