For the perfect techie update that'll change your life - or the life of someone you love - you need to try an Apple Watch. Just like the iPad and the Fitbit, this tech accessory had many skeptics when it first hit the market. However, the reviews are in, and a smartwatch can really change your day-to-day life for the better. If you're still unconvinced, we've put together this list of 7 reasons to add an Apple Watch to your shopping list. Read on to learn why this needs to be the next new thing in your closet.
Why Buy an Apple Watch?
The Apple Watch was developed to pair with the iPhone, giving an enhanced user experience with added features. In 2013, the
first news of Apple Watch development hit the papers. In 2014, it was finally released to mixed opinions from the public who hadn't tried it out yet. However, as Apple Watches started to grace wrists around the world, people finally understood just what all the hype was about. These accessories seamlessly combine fashion and technology in one sleek case. Ready to learn why an Apple Watch needs to be on your list? Check out these top reasons.
1. Reduce Screen Time
It may seem counterintuitive, but one of the best benefits of an Apple Watch is that it allows you to cut back on the time you spend staring at a phone screen. It's been
scientifically proven that the amount of time many people spend looking at their smartphones is unhealthy. The beauty of the Apple Watch is that it helps you reduce all that unhealthy time you spend on your phone, freeing you up to focus on the more important things. With the Apple Watch, you don't need to have your phone out to get alerted to every message, email, or call. When you're waiting for important communication to come through, you won't need to keep your phone out all the time. Your watch will tell you what you need to know.
2. Be More Stylish
Fashion isn't a side note to the Apple Watch - it's one of the main attractions.
Wearable technology has quickly entered the realm of fashion since it hit the market. Headphones and Fitbits aren't purely practical: they also give you a new way to show off your unique personality. Your Apple Watch can also be customized. Switch out the band to switch up your look. From leather to rhinestones to patterns, there are countless ways to make an Apple Watch your own unique accessory - with a look that can be
changed every day if you so desire. Once upon a time, cell phones were a fashion statement. Remember the days of cell phone charms and the
coveted pink Razr phone? Today's cell phones tend to be sleeker and simpler. However, wearable technology like the Apple Watch has taken the place of gaudy cell phones, giving a modern update on the intersection of tech and fashion.
3. Get There Safely
The Apple Watch makes it much easier to get driving directions safely. Cell phone use while driving has contributed to so many accidents that many states have banned it. However, smartwatch lets you navigate using just the occasional glance at your wrist. Because of the positioning of your hands on the steering wheel, this is a much safer way to navigate, since your directions are in a place where you won't really have to take your eyes off the road at all. Other features, such as a "tap" at the wrist when a turn is coming up, help increase your focus on the road even more.
4. Workout Smarter
It seems like people are forever looking for a way to make working out easier. Although you'll still have to sweat, a smartwatch can actually simplify your workout routine and make you more likely to get results. With a handy workout app and an Apple Watch, you'll be able to track your exercise progress and keep focused on the goal. In-app rewards make hitting those goals even more exciting - you'll be shedding fat and building muscle before you know it.
5. Never Miss an Alarm
Use voice recognition to easily set an alarm on your smartwatch without even having to look for your phone. Whether it's a reminder for an important meeting, or just a reminder to take the pizza out of the oven, it's too easy to walk away from your phone and miss something important. When your alarm is strapped to your wrist, staying organized becomes a cinch.
6. Stop Losing Your Phone
Speaking of walking away from your phone - how many times have you done just that, only to forget just where you left it? It happens to the best of us (more than we may care to admit). You can't lose a smartwatch that's attached to you, though, and it can even help you find your phone. Instead of asking the nearest person to call your phone or dig through the couch with you, just use the iPhone locating feature on your Apple Watch and never worry about a missing phone again.
7. Tell the Time
One of the best things about the Apple Watch is also the simplest: it tells the time, as any good watch should. Fewer people wear watches since cell phones are so common. However, there's really no replacement for having the time handy on your wrist. Knowing the time helps you stay more organized and efficient - and you won't have to dig through your purse or pocket for your phone to check the time anymore.
Upgrade Your Life With an Apple Watch
Not all tech accessories are essential - some are just fun or interesting. The Apple Watch, however, truly becomes an essential part of any tech-savvy person's life. This is more than just a cool trinket - it's a way to effortlessly streamline your tech use, helping you be more productive and less stressed.
