Apple Watch is one of those devices that Do not value as long as you have it. It happened to me that, over ten years, I had my time to sell what I had, giving up this smartwatch and end up coming back shortly after a new one so that “not knowing” to live without him. And yes, you can obviously, but have one, things are easier.
There are many reasons and varied for which I recommend an Apple Watch beyond the typical of what some fall, which must have the notifications of the iPhone. I wanted to recover what for me is the essential functions And that, as simple as they seem, they prevent me from abandoning this device.
Siri is ideal for many quick requests
Siri has a deserved bad reputation, even if I must say that For some fast functions It goes very well. In fact, there are several benefits that it gives me from the Apple Watch, particularly remarkable when I do not have the iPhone on the top.
- Ask him to create reminders Or add them to a list. I use it a lot to add items to the purchase list when, in the middle of a recipe, I realize that food is over and that I do not want to forget to register on the list.
- Check accessories at home Compatible with Homekit, such as lighting / off lights or Apple TV.
- Create When I cook and I don't want to be wrong with cooking times.
- Establish specific alarms Beyond those of the sleep mode. For example, when I want to launch a short nap after eating or when I want to remember something at a certain time.
- Make an appeal When I don't wear the iPhone. And with that, spin the next section.
Answer a call when I busy hands
It seems a minor detail, because in the end, it ends up being more practical to speak to an iPhone and better if it is with connected headphones. However, there are few times Important call with the iPhone far or the hands busy. So much so that I even went to the watch button with the nose (even in that there is an advantage).
Make payments quickly with Apple Pay
I would say without fear of exaggerating The vast majority of payments I make are with the Apple Watch And via Apple Pay. Having an additional payment card to the iPhone, putting it on the clock is extremely simple, although it requires verification (either by SMS or the application of the bank).
This is the form More comfortable to paySince it is enough to tighten the side button twice and bring it closer to the dataphone. If it is true that it may seem unclean by requiring any code, it is assumed that when we take it, we are already authenticated. Especially since when we take the watch, it is blocked and does not allow payments before putting the security code.
Find my iPhone when I lose it
I do not mean to literally lose the iPhone and use the “search for my iPhone” application, which can also be done from the Apple Watch. Fortunately, I never had to reach this extreme, although lose at home In one of these stupid errors in which you do not know where you left it.
In this case, the classic method is to ask someone to call us and locate them for their sound. However, living alone does not make much sense. This is why I take advantage of In the control center, there is a button with which to locate the iPhone when you get lost at home. If you are a short distance, you can reproduce a sound. In fact, if we continue to press this button, even the iPhone flash will be illuminated.
Automatically unlock my mac
I have two Mac computers and one of them is the MacBook Air M1. Having Touch ID, unlocking it is very fast. This does not happen in the same way with my Mac Mini M2 Pro, in which I use a keyboard from another brand and I do not have this recognition of the fingers. In macOS adjustments, there is an option that I have always activated and which allows Unlock the computer if it detects that we wear the Apple Watch. He press a key and unlocking. And even the vibration and the sound that the clock makes at the time is pleasant.
Check the basic aspects of my health
Although Apple Watch is not a medical device, it has certifications and I have been able to see very closely how vital it can be to detect serious illnesses with functions such as the blood counter. The exceptional are also the Apple Watch electrocardiogram functions or its pulsation meter still present.
With the “Vital Constant” application launched in Watchos 11, we can get an excellent summary of how we are under these parameters and follow the “iPhone Health” application. Although it is always advisable to go to doctors when there are problems and also to make checks, the Tranquility that provides a device like this It is not trivial.
Know how I sleep at night
Although Apple Watch's sleep surveillance is healthy, I wanted to highlight it. I'm not going to stop too much, because I told my experience to sleep with the Apple Watch in another article, but I would like to say that it is offers basic but very interesting functions to better rest. Reminders to fall asleep, means of concentration that prevent us from using it to the next day metrics knowing how we slept.
