What's the purpose of "Bluetooth snoop logging" option on Android Wear devices?

android, bluetooth, wear-os

Solution

It creates a log file of all the Bluetooth traffic to and from your device, for analysis purposes.

Edit: Adding @BrentM's comment:

The log file is saved to /sdcard/btsnoop_hci.log. Take a look at this question, it is not specifically for wear, but wear should follow the same work flow: Sniffing/logging your own Android Bluetooth traffic

Problem

It's in the wearable's `Settings` menu, in the `Developers Options` section. I couldn't find any information about it, nothing in the documentation either. What are the potential use case scenarios of this feature? Note: to unlock the `Developers Options` section, tap 7 times on the `About` item.
