How do you use your Apple Watch (or other smartwatch)? I use my Apple Watch heavily, but only for a few purposes:
- Silent notifications. That’s the big one. If I’m not already using my Mac or my phone, the Watch tells me when I have an incoming text message or phone call, and I can decide based on information on the Watch screen whether to answer immediately or dismiss it for later. The Apple Watch is also my silent alarm clock to wake me up in the morning.
- Workout tracker. I start it when I start walking the dog, turn around at the 1.6 mile mark, and when I hit 3.2 miles I know I’m done.
- Telling time and setting timers, of course, but I don’t need a smartwatch for that.
- Notifications of upcoming appointments.
- I use a brilliant app called Footpath to map turn-by-turn walking directions when I want to walk an unfamiliar route.
I don’t have a lot of interest in fitness trackers or health trackers, other than the simple workout tracker users I just described.
