Walking directions in an unfamiliar city - no pulling out expensive phone on every street corner
Activity - the swimming lap counter took me from non swimmer to 4-5K a week
Subtle buzz on the wrist in a meeting when phone on silent
And more.
One unusual one for me - one of the rehearsal venues I go to every week is a phone signal black hole. Often I am on call and need to be contactable (What’s your job?). I can put my phone by the door in the one corner of the room that gets a signal. Because it connects to the watch I get a watch notification if it rings (ringtone not easy to hear in the throes of a big band number…). Has bailed me out a few times…
Of all these the watch has paid for itself many times over with the 20lbs I have lost…
