About a month later I had the opportunity to test out the Apple Watch Series 5, in its Nike 40mm version. Although I was not the first to use a smartwatch, because I had a Moto 360 for several years, yes it's my first interaction with the Apple WatchIn short, the experience has been amazing.
I couldn't compare two completely different devices, not only by product or application, but also by production year, because this time Moto 360 loses a lot of trouble. That is why in order to write these lines, I pressed my memories to reach the top with a Motorola smartwatch, and put them in the shoes of someone with a brand new device in their hands.
Screen magic is always on
One of the things that is most relevant to me is that you may be able to watch the screen all the time. This is one of the most important discoveries of the Apple Watch Series 5, and it is a great feature for those who are used to having an ancient clock, when you need to look only at display time. This made me feel really comfortable and it helped make my experience more user-friendly.
On the other hand, I have to emphasize that the Apple Watch Series 5 40 mm is ideal for someone with small hands, just like me. When I pulled it out of the box it was the first thought that came to my head, and I was really surprised at how comfortable it felt in your hand: Don't freak out, its design is beautiful and the Nike thread fits my personality.
A lot of healthy life
Now we move on to another aspect that was right for me: exercise. I must admit that I have been living more recently, and have been talking for over a year now. I thought this situation would not change if there was a solitary confinement in Colombia, to prevent the distribution of COVID-19.
However, my encounter with the Apple Watch Series 5 coincided with this homecoming time, and I decided to use it from that moment on, in a pleasant surprise. Ever since I built the smartwatch, I have experienced an appreciation for the & # 39; Breathe & # 39; s app that I let myself get carried away with the stress of everyday life, without thinking for a moment about my physical and mental health.
One afternoon I was writing, doing the same thing for hours and having many earrings. Suddenly the Apple Watch shuddered, I looked because I wanted to know if there were any dream stories, I realized that the application was asking me to stop doing what it was doing, to do the most obvious thing: breathe.
As I was testing the app, I stopped my work and decided to find out what was being said. Well, I stopped moving, I stopped the music in silence and concentrated on my breathing (which was a little faster at that moment due to the minute stress). I practiced breathing slowly, until the rhythmic blue rhythm of the app & # 39; Breathing & # 39 ;, and in two minutes I felt the difference, I was relaxing!
At the time, the smartwatch took on a completely different meaning to me: it's not just fashion or other connected stuff that never ends and ignores what's important, it's just the opposite. This month I have been using the Apple Watch Series 5 and I have seen that these wearables can be very compact so that we can take care of what matters most: our physical and mental health.
An invitation to stay active
It's clear that the & # 39; Breathe & # 39; s app is not the only Apple Watch Series 5 app that helps us make the most out of our lives. This is where the famous rings started to take center stage, which I wrote about here at Applesfera but which I always wanted to know.
It was not until I got the Series 5 I held that I realized why my boyfriend Pedro Aznar was so proud to be proud of filling the rings when I first started running. Of course, from my house I could not close them all or have a pleasant experience of personal satisfaction, But I have been able to realize my constant struggle against it.
The & # 39; s work plan & # 39; it reminds us every time we spend a lot of time sitting down and it needs to be actively stopped, even if we are finishing up our & # 39; Move & # 39; But that's not all, because here we can change the goals and create the values that challenge us, that way, we can stay active and healthy.
I can use Forest for my wrist!
If you have read to me in the nearly 5 years I have written for Applesfera, you will surely one day find my posts related to & # 39; s forest & # 39; This is my favorite productivity app since 2015, because with it I always avoid looking at a smartphone, while planting virtual trees.
Hey, I was surprised to see that & # 39; Forest & # 39; s working on the Apple Watch and I can even use the simple clock app store to download it. This is one of the great benefits that watOS 6 offers and makes a huge difference, because you no longer have to do the process on the iPhone to install the app on the clock.
With this functionality, the smartwatch gets more freedom from the smartphone, and this really excites me, since I don't have to spend a lot of time running on the smartphone screen, because the Apple Watch Series 5 allows me to do different tasks without having to go to the iPhone .
The battery left me craving for the Apple Watch for tomorrow
The Apple Watch Series 5 was upgraded internally with a new chip built to make the tool more efficient than before. Let us remember that this new favorite item, which we always see on the screen, is a major factor when it comes to using more battery, so to provide this service, Apple decided to make this adjustment to the processor.
So, the Series 5 has daily battery life, in the words of Apple, but in my particular case, that's been a day and a half or almost twice, in those days when I didn't use it much. or I don't wear it, because I admit that on weekends if I like to leave it in the evening, to slow down and disconnect from notifications.
Although the battery is an issue that many smartwatches have to work on, so that the experience of switching from a standard clock to digital is easy, I'd like to say soon, an apple company surprise us with introducing the Apple Watch Series with long battery life, That might be the point where I think not only Apple but many companies have to upgrade so that smartwatches are an attractive product.
In short, what I've noticed this month of testing is that the Apple Watch Series 5 is more than a smart watch. This device comes to market to be a healthy lifestyle partner for all who decide to buy it, and, in turn, a tool to make life easier for users.
With the Apple Watch Series 5 it is possible to control the lights, open doors, play music, wake up, measure our heart rate, measure our physical activity, receive messages and send them, and even sit down for a few minutes a day and breathe, don't forget that The most important thing in the end will be our physical and mental health.
