5 Reasons Why A Smartwatch Could Be Useful To You

Many consumers consider a smartwatch as a novelty rather than a necessity. It’s regarded as a gadget for the tech obsessed millennial, who derives pleasure from being bombarded with “trivial” data. That said, it has managed to win over gym rats who want a wearable that can do more than what a fitness tracker is capable of.

That’s because the smartwatch has evolved greatly over the years to become a very useful tool to people who utilize its various functions. Surprisingly, many of said uses are not health related. The following are a number of them:

Alarm & Reminder
Regular watches are able to do this, but where they fall short is in their ability to synchronize alarms with dates and events from Calendar apps. This is extremely helpful when following a schedule or being reminded of important events throughout the month. A short buzz on the wrist has been invaluable in allowing me to join meetings on time.

Call Notification
Your phone may not be on your person throughout the day. This is one of the contributing factors of why we keep missing important phone calls. A smartwatch that’s synced with your phone can alert you to a phone call or text message as and when they come in. That said, you still have the ability to adjust how frequently said alerts are allowed to pop up.

Fall Detection
It’s a very useful tool, especially to those people who enjoy an active lifestyle or the elderly who may live alone. Fall Detection is able to determine when the wearer has fallen down and immediately calls a close contact or emergency services if needed. It can prove to be an invaluable asset to people who experience a sudden loss of consciousness due to an accident or health reasons.

Weather Advisory
The weather app on a smartwatch is usually synced with the same companion app on the respective smartphone. As such, it can pull valuable weather data throughout the day such as the chance of rain as well as the corresponding humidity and temperature. This information can help you plan your day or week around said weather events. You’ll also know whether to carry an umbrella with you when stepping out of the house.

Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water throughout the day is extremely important for the human body to regulate its metabolic functions. A smartwatch can help remind you to drink enough water throughout the day. From time to time, it will buzz on your wrist to remind you to step away from the table and drink a glass of water. You can set the amount of water to drink throughout the day and the watch will help you reach that goal.
