I'm thinking about trying the geooh app on a smartwatch. What's the best smartwatch to get rn for geocaching? I don't need any crazy extra functionality. I just want good gps features and the app to work well with it.

 

Any current Wear OS watch with a magnetometer. Geooh's watch app uses the phone's GPS for accuracy and minimal watch battery usage.

I used a Ticwatch 5 with Locus Map for wear OS. It had great battery life and I had no complaints about its accuracy or performance.  It was handy to get close without having to look at the full app but its main use was as a health monitor.  I later got a Garmin as a gift and did not need an extra watch otherwise I would still be using it. Although the Garmin is spot on for location, the Ticwatch did a better job with recording steps with my hiking stick so sometimes I miss it.
 

Last year, Google added a Pixel Watch for preorders.  I sold it unopened at a very good price for the buyer, but with a new generation about to be released there may be some deals.
