Best apps for galaxy watch 4?

I'm simple: Google pay, Google maps, smart things, citymapper...!

I also have outlook for work emails but don't find this essential - emails, WhatsApp, text etc all come through already don't they.

How did you get WhatsApp for GW4? Some people suggest to use Messages for WearOS, but for some reason I can't find it between the other apps when looking for it using Google Play from my GW4C. I live in UK. Maybe that's the issue.

Im UK, there isn't a WhatsApp app and you don't need one, just make sure you enable notifications for all the apps you want to get on your watch and you can interact with them

Yes, that's what I did The problem is that these notifications disapear once You reply to them, and you can't get back to them later from your watch. Someone posted on YT a film showing how to keep such notifications from WhatsApp on the smartwatch using app Messages for WearOS, but I can find it only available for smatphone. The man is from Germany. He can also use data to stream Spotify without using his smatphone. Or use Google Maps the same way. I've got GW4C 46 LTE, and I can't do such things here in UK. I still have to carry my smarthone with me. More, he can leave his smartphone home switched off. Here I have to leave it on and connected to internet. I'm with O2.

For spotify it works, but it won't work on the watch speaker, you need to have Bluetooth headphones connected to stream or play anything spotify using the watch
