re: Apple Watch Yes or No?

Wife got me one for Christmas last year. It’s been fantastic. Lemme tell ya why...

I’m in a good bit of meetings, and I also route my email through my iPhone. To the point where I have Outlook send me text notifications about my itnerary every morning at 7am, and then 15 minutes before each appointment, meeting, etc.

With back to backs a lot of the time it’s nice to me when we need to wrap up or what’s next on my plate without grabbing and flipping through my phone.

In the same setting, reviewing notifications mid meeting discreetly allows for a more engaged and less distracted experience for me. Which means my time is more well spent. In general, not having to grab my phone to see whose emailing or texting helps me from having to grab my phone out of a pocket or off the desk or elsewhere.

But without question my most favorite function is Maps. I own a small business on the side where I travel locally a lot. At work I am on the road in South Louisiana on average once or twice a week.

Punch the address into them Maps app, and never pick up the phone again. As you reach your exit or turn, the haptic response alerts you to a turn or a blinker that’s needs to be used. A quick glance at your wrist tells you how many miles there are until your next turn is or what your current ETA is to your destination.

It’s fantastic to not have to drive distracted or just impress your coworkers and boss as if you know out of the town areas like the back of your hand. LOL.

It is an incredibly useful tool for me in these regards. Speakerphone helps in hand so free situations as someone else’s mentioned.
