What apps/things do you use most on your AW? I don’t really feel like I’m getting my money’s worth from mine. I use it for texts when I’m not near my phone, alarms, a little of the activity stuff, monitoring my heart rate, and honestly, not much else.
What are some things you love using yours for/favorite apps, etc.?
Must haves? The Apple Watch has a lot of stuff I use constantly throughout the day. I turn off notifications for everything except calls because I sit at a desk all day anyway.
Accurate time whenever I want. Not having to constantly sync time and dates has been amazing.
The date. Because I need it a lot and my memory isn't what it used to be.
Activity progress to remind me to keep moving as I sit at my desk and work all day.
Really love the sun down sun up information for whatever reason. I find it useful for what I do during the day.
Ability to give me information on my workouts (gps/lap speed/heart rate).
Sleep monitoring so I can find out what works best for me for a good night's rest.
Being able to share my activity with my wife and sister who has a watch has been a great encouragement to keep moving and exercise. It has changed my wife's life (as well as my life) for the better - we've done more exercising this year than in our entire lives. Losing weight finally!
I have a very ... very hairy body. Found that shaving my wrist right by my wrist bone that sticks out --- where the watch sits has improved the Apple Watch's ability to get a heart rate from me while I run, except in extreme cold for whatever reason - still beats my Fitbit Hr which couldn't get a heart rate off of me no matter what I tried.
I went to Japan for a work trip recently - was shocked to see the number of Apple Watches and older watch users syncing their time / dates soon as we got off the plane. Stuff I didn't notice before I had an AW.
