If you’ve been considering buying a smartwatch, then now’s an excellent time to do so. Here are six great reasons you need a smartwatch.
Easy Notifications
It gets a little tiring having to pull your phone out of your pocket every time it buzzes. It’s especially tiresome when you’re in one of those WhatsApp groups where people won’t stop sending gifs.
When you’ve got a smartwatch, you can easily check your notifications (the average US smartphone user gets 46 notifications a day) from your wrist without having to pull out your phone – much easier.
Socially Acceptable
There are some occasions where it’s just not socially acceptable to have your phone out. That’s all well and good and it’s nice to have some time away from your phone, but what happens if you get an urgent call or message?
With a smartwatch, you can easily screen your notifications while remaining perfectly in step with the etiquette of whatever event you’re attending.
Your Phone Can’t Go Everywhere
There are some places you simply can’t take your phone, even if it’s socially acceptable. For example, when you nip to the beach in your Speedo’s, you’re probably not going to want to take your phone with you.
While you don’t want your phone, you do want to track all those laps you’re running up and down the beach and this is one of the big bonuses of smartwatches; you still get lots of functionality even if you’re phone isn’t nearby.
Great for Exercise
One of those times it’s not convenient to bring your phone with you is when you’re working out. While you don’t want to be carrying around your handset in your pocket when you’re out on a run, lifting weights, or whatever it might be, you still want to get feedback on your performance.
A smartwatch makes this possible, tracking vital information, even if it’s not in close proximity to your phone. This really helps you take your exercise to the next level and allows you to get more out of your workouts.
Good Battery Life
The technology in smartwatches has moved on a lot over the years, as you can see from this comparison of all Apple Watches.
One aspect that is impressive with these devices is battery life. You’re not constantly having to re-charge your smartwatch and it can take the pressure off your phone battery.
Easy Listening
When you’re listening to music through a speaker or your headphones it’s quite a hassle to get your phone out to skip to the next song.
With a smartwatch, you don’t have to worry about this, as you can quickly do so by clicking one button on your wrist. You’re no longer forced to listen to that strange song that somehow found its way into your library because you can’t find where you put your phone down.
It’s only the best music for your ears when you’ve got a smartwatch.
