Apple Watch is designed for short and fast wear times

I had planned to write this article before I even bought the watch. And it is that John Ive himself and other senior officials of the company have commented on it a lot. The Apple Watch is not designed for us to do the tasks we do on the iPhone there. It is not a screen where you can interact and read news or watch networks social. We can reply to messages, notifications and some specific cases, but it is not designed for that.

The idea is that we do not have to be using it for 2 or 3 minutes continuously browsing its small interface. The idea is to make things punctual, fast and that serve as an accessory to the iPhone. Despite everything, some developers and some of the most famous apps have created a very elaborate application with which they try to gain the loyalty of the user and make it very useful. Error. Users do not change the big screen for the small one, we only use it as a complement and as a wearable health device, watch, notifications and more.

The actual use of the Apple Watch today

If I already had arguments and a lot to comment on before buying it, now that I have tried it and I have it on my wrist I can assure and certify my words. There will be users who want to use it to read all messages, view Twitter chats and timeline, but it is not an appropriate use. For that, take out the iPhone without fear and go ahead. Freedom, size and you save yourself being myopic. You do quick functions, reply to messages, consult information about health and exercise and you prepare it to go out to train.

After all, the concept of wearable and smart watch is still on the table. It is users who with their daily use and their comments are helping companies to say what they want to use these devices for and why not. As much as the apps are complicated and allow us to do a lot on the clock, perhaps we users do not want to do it. Isn't it easier to get out the iPhone and do what we have to do? It is also faster and more effective, of course. Therefore, things like this are done on our mobile device, and the Apple Watch is limited to fast and health things.

Seen like this, perhaps those who do not play sports may think that the Apple Watch is not worth it or is just an expensive whim. Indeed, it is. To get the most out of it you will have to make use of all its functions. There are other functions to work with and such, but don't expect some revolutionary productivity in a watch.

A health and sport device

It really is a wearable device for health, for athletes, for physical activity etc. With the app I train you can enjoy all the measurement of your training whatever the activity or sport that is. And not only with native apps, the developers have created many for the sport. And the most famous are the same ones you used with your iPhone. Runstastic, Nike + Club and my favorite of all: Carrot Fit.

The latter motivates you to exercise while insulting you in a certain way. Its icon is a silhouette of a fat person that represents the user. If you do not reach your daily goals, it will show you an animation in which it hurts the silhouette. It hits him with a disintegrated beam, he comes out trying to jump without success and weights in an incredible way.

Whatever sport you do, if you are looking for a good meter perfectly synchronized with your iPhone, go for the Apple Watch Series 2 without hesitation. But keep in mind that it is not an iPhone or an iPad. We are not talking about a device where to do things, but where to see and interact quickly. You will still need the iPhone and you will take it out of your pocket almost equally. It also depends on how you adapt to the watch and the apps you use. Telegram works fine, but I prefer to read and reply on the iPhone.
