I've got a Suunto7, so I can do directions there. But I'd say its a very different experience than having it on a display in front of your bars.
Where something like the Karoo can really come in handy - other than big new routes - is just generally poking around places you've been, but don't know well. being able to look ahead, see an intersection, glance down and get a better sense of what trail/road/path goes where is super handy. And sometimes which is the more common cycling route, if you have heatmaps on.
But, yeah. You can absolutely record rides, navigate, etc with a smartwatch as well. I've done it, and it has the advantage of... you've already got it on.
