During the day, when I go out for meetings or interviews, there are times when I can't see notifications on Slack or LINE. During a meeting, you may be worried that you may not receive a message that requires an urgent reply.
So, I decided to introduce the 41mm of the Apple Watch Series 7 and change the way I work.
As a result, it is comfortable to use and has become an item that I want to wear every day.
This time, I will introduce the good points of purchasing the Apple Watch Series 7.
Notifications are easy to see on the large screen
First of all, let me start with my impressions.
Until about two years ago, I was using the Apple Watch series 3, but compared to that, the Apple Watch Series 7 has an improved notch width and a screen that is about 50% larger.
This makes the screen much easier to see!
Apple Watch is a "watch", but you can use it like a smartphone, such as viewing notifications, replying to emails, and controlling music.
In particular, men's fingers are a little thick, so with the Apple Watch series 3, most of the screen was hidden by their fingers, making it difficult to operate.
That has improved considerably with the Apple Watch Series 7. If anyone is using the Apple Watch Series 3, I would strongly recommend replacing it.
I was able to reduce the contact time with my smartphone with the Apple Watch
By using the Apple Watch, the main purpose of "always being able to check notifications" was fully achieved. Even during a meeting, a notification will be sent to your wrist and you can check the content, which is very helpful. If the content is important, reply quickly without taking out your smartphone.
Oh man, that's pretty smart.
In addition, as a secondary effect, it is also important to succeed in keeping smartphones away!
You can check smart news, LINE, Slack, Chatwork, and Messenger notifications that you often receive on your wrist. As a result, the need to open the smartphone has decreased dramatically.
When you check notifications one by one on your smartphone, you often end up opening SNS such as Twitter or Instagram, or start surfing the net for no reason.
But once you've checked on your Apple Watch, you'll need less time on your iPhone.
Find My iPhone, the function I use the most
On a slightly different topic, have you ever lost your smartphone? I spend 15 minutes a day looking for my phone, and I forget where I put it.
That problem was also solved with the Apple Watch.
Wow, you can play iPhone sounds from your Apple Watch! Aside from the clock and receiving notifications, this might be the feature I use the most.
I have my iPhone ringing at home every day. It's best not to lose it, but it's also important to be able to find it immediately if you lose it.
In addition to this, it is also equipped with strong health-related functions that can measure electrocardiograms and heart rates, and it also measures daily steps and calories.
The Apple Watch is very convenient, but I would recommend the Apple Watch Series 7 to those who are considering replacing an old model or using a smartwatch for the first time!
