A lot of my friends have Apple watches and I’m wondering what you feel are the benefits compared to just having your phone in your pocket or in your pocketbook?
I love the possibility of getting away of the phone and screen addiction. I usually go outside just with my LTE Apple Watch. Lifechanger for me.
I really like what one review on YouTube said. It was essentially this: an Apple Watch isn’t going to change your life, but it makes everything about 5% better.
Examples include paying for stuff with the Watch—not necessary at all, but it adds a little moment of coolness and fun to your day. Also, listening to lossless albums on the go without my phone—such a simple thing, but it feels just a little magical.
I have one and quite like it but honestly it’s overrated and overpriced.
You can ring your phone when you can’t find it 😅
Big things for me:
Leave house without phone or wallet. Can still make calls and pay for shopping.
Sleep tracking
Heart rate and ECG i check at least once a day
And when driving, the watch reminds me that a turn is coming up. Useful when driving for hours .
Fitness tracking and not needing to take phone with me going for a walk or exercising outside.
My main reason for having the watch is so I don’t have to have my phone with me or I can just leave it in my bag where it’s much safer than in a pocket or pulling it out all the time for whatever reason.
Bonus is the health tracking apps.
So I do not have to take my phone out when I go running. Listen to the music from the watch. Also if I go out for the evening I do not need to carry the phone. Lots of benefits having one.
I feel like something is missing when I’m not wearing it. I go to check the time, my notifications, the weather forecast, use it as a handy torch, controls my music when at the gym, an alarm that vibrates so won’t wake up my wife when I go to the gym early etc etc, the list goes on and I’m far from a power user.
It’s got the time on it
Do you want an Apple Watch? If you do, it’s a benefit to have one. Everyone has their own reasons.
I exercise every day. The data gathering is truly invaluable to me
It’s not a replacement for the phone, however I wanted a fitness watch. I’ve got some cheaper ones in the past and while they have done okay they have broken after a while.
Got the SE2 recently and have no idea why I never got one sooner. Give me all the fitness and sleep tracking information I want, plus the ability to get notifications, respond to text messages and pay for items from my wrist. Had it for a month now and it’s well worth the price.
I wouldn’t get the cellular one.
I don’t wear watches or jewelry… My wedding ring is somewhere. lol
I have the biggest size latest version, but not the Ultra.
I had the smallest size, previous generation and I only had it to tell time…
I dunno why the bigger sized changed things, but I use it for everything now. My phone’s always close by so I don’t see the need for cellular on it. I have a macbook too so it makes unlocking it magic.
I’m really into the eco system though.
Makes it really easy to tell the time, among other things.
