After years of seeing smart watches from all corners of the tech-universe, I've finally joined in with the Apple Watch Series 6. Before we get all the way into this, let me kick this off with a short statement. If you barely use your phone (less than 2 hours a day) , you probably don't need a smart watch. But if you are someone that is always going everywhere even if "everywhere" is from your bedroom to your kitchen, then you might be interested in a smart watch. Today I'm going to lead you through why I got the apple watch, the features I added to it, how I use my watch, and how I feel about my purchase.
Let's dive in!
Why I Got My Apple Watch
Originally I wanted to get an Apple Watch to control music while I taught yoga classes and tell time. That was it! 😅
How I Customized My Apple Watch
I purchased the Apple Watch Nike Series 6, $399+ and did the following to make it just right for me:
Got the Nike Band so I could always customize the fit to my wrist
Got it in space grey so it could blend in with my wardrobe
Got the data plan so I could use my watch even without my phone nearby
Got the 44mm because I have a large wrist and it fits wonderfully
How I Use My Apple Watch
Funnily enough I haven't used my watch to play music in yoga class yet. I have used it to:
Use as a timer for cooking
To take with me instead of my phone to the downstairs laundry (I play games on it while I wait)
Pay for groceries
Pay for a train ride
Use for a grocery list
Quickly call someone without whipping out my phone
Track my sleep and quality of sleep
Wake me up because my arms gets the vibrations instead of my phone falling off my nightstand
Tell time
Play music while I walk
Check for a nearby bus
Play and pause my workouts
Use as a remote for my camera
Check the weather
Check my daily calendar
Play games
Am I Happy with My Purchase
Yes, 1000x yes! There are so many features this watch has that I haven't even mentioned. As someone who for a while thought "how would a smart watch be useful to me?" I've now become a member of the smart watch family!
Are you considering an Apple Watch? What would you use it for? 💜
