If you have the Ultra you get mob boss respect.

I use mine like many others for the fitness tracking, but also A LOT for my smart home stuff. “Turn the vacuum on”, “kitchen lights on” and so on. So nice not having to fiddle with my phone and also I always have it on me.

I got mine specifically for sleep and health tracking. I don’t have the cellular version, since I always have my phone with me. It makes it nice to not have to pull my phone out of my handbag just to check the time or the weather, or set a timer.

Do you want an Apple Watch? If you do, it’s a benefit to have one. Everyone has their own reasons.

My main reason for having the watch is so I don’t have to have my phone with me or I can just leave it in my bag where it’s much safer than in a pocket or pulling it out all the time for whatever reason.

Bonus is the health tracking apps.

Text message notifications on your watch are nice because you don’t have to look at your phone. It’s great while working. Quick glance at the watch without opening the whole phone and getting distracted.

It’s a good watch too. I have three times zones on it and today’s date. That’s a real utility for me.

Exercise tracking is decent.

The breath app is great for relaxation.

Mine is 4 years old and still going strong.

Fitness tracking and not needing to take phone with me going for a walk or exercising outside.

I really like what one review on YouTube said. It was essentially this: an Apple Watch isn’t going to change your life, but it makes everything about 5% better.

Examples include paying for stuff with the Watch—not necessary at all, but it adds a little moment of coolness and fun to your day. Also, listening to lossless albums on the go without my phone—such a simple thing, but it feels just a little magical.

I have one and quite like it but honestly it’s overrated and overpriced.

You can ring your phone when you can’t find it 😅

Makes it really easy to tell the time, among other things.

A lot of these features are enhanced if you have na iPhone, so I’ll assume that you do.

• Fitness tracking (but can be achieved with other fitness watches)

• Quick messaging including answering calls (useful for me while driving). Possible with other smart watches also.

• Activate Siri without needing phone for simple tasks like timers, reminders (useful while cooking)

• Shortcuts: I have some home automations in place which is quicker to trigger from the watch.

• I use Focus Modes a lot so the watch enables quick toggles.

• Sleep tracking: I like to assess my quality of sleep vs my mood for the day and see if I can identify any correlations.

• Automatic login into my Mac Mini.

The real value of an Apple Watch is being able to combine all of these and more into one device. If you only care for specific features, then almost any smart watch would suffice. I have the wifi only SE2 and I love it. I only take it off to charge when I’m showering.

It’s not a replacement for the phone, however I wanted a fitness watch. I’ve got some cheaper ones in the past and while they have done okay they have broken after a while.

Got the SE2 recently and have no idea why I never got one sooner. Give me all the fitness and sleep tracking information I want, plus the ability to get notifications, respond to text messages and pay for items from my wrist. Had it for a month now and it’s well worth the price.

I feel like something is missing when I’m not wearing it. I go to check the time, my notifications, the weather forecast, use it as a handy torch, controls my music when at the gym, an alarm that vibrates so won’t wake up my wife when I go to the gym early etc etc, the list goes on and I’m far from a power user.
