A Day of Apple Watch

It's been a week since I got the Apple Watch. Here, I want to share with you what it feels like to wear Apple Watch as a person who has worn it every day since primary school.

I don't have to go to work, which leads to a time difference of several hours between my daily schedule and Chinese standard time. When I got up, I estimated that most office workers had gone downstairs to have lunch/order takeout. I feel that I have already raised half a ton of hatred before I mention my watch.

The first thing to get up is not to take a watch, but to look at my mobile phone and see all kinds of short messages, WeChat, spam messages, and so on, which I missed because of the time difference. My watch charger is always on my bedside table. I once considered moving the watch charger between the desk and the bedside table, but after using it for a few days, I found that the battery of the watch was better than I expected. Charging twice a day doesn't exist here, so I decided to keep the watch charger on the bedside table all the time and consider buying a watch rack for a while.

Wearing Apple Watch is different from the way I used to wear it, because the heart rate sensor on the back needs to be close to the skin, so when I wear it, I should try to tighten the clasp as much as possible, so that the watch is not easy to shake back and forth greatly on my arm. The way I used to wear my watch allowed it to move up and down one or two centimeters on my arm, but now it's different. My wrist is thin, so I chose a smaller watch strap included in the sports model instead.

I will wash it with Apple Watch, and IPX7 is waterproof, which makes me feel at ease. At the same time, I have seen some other waterproof test videos online. Although the waterproof performance is superior, I won't choose to bring my watch to wash the dishes, because I don't want food residues or oil stains to get on my watch. So maybe I think I just brought my watch and took it off when I was going to cook lunch. I have no special preference for Apple Watch. Before my Apple Watch, I didn't wear a watch at home, because my old steel watch easily scratched my computer or desktop. Sport's polyester strap is very comfortable and poses little threat to these surfaces.

I go to the vegetable market to buy food almost every day, and I only buy the amount of the day. First of all, because the vegetable market is close to me, and I know that if I buy a lot of vegetables, I can easily forget one or two, and after a few weeks, I find that they have gone bad in the refrigerator. If I had known that I would go out for dinner that night, I wouldn't have gone shopping. At other times, I will go.

Then going out to buy food is just part of my daily fitness goal. The distance from my home to the vegetable market is about one kilometer, plus the time to buy food, it usually takes me about 30-40 minutes from going out to going home. I will watch the received WeChat content through my watch on the way. If I need to reply, I will take out my mobile phone to reply. If I am not in a hurry to reply, I will wait until I get home. This is very useful for me after shopping, because before I put on Apple Watch, I have to take out my mobile phone to see the content of WeChat. Now you can put your mobile phone in your pocket most of the time.

Because Apple Watch is slow to open third-party applications, I hardly use it to watch third-party applications outdoors, because it means that I need to raise my arm for a long time and I am very tired. As a watch, what I use most when I go out is to look at the time. And after I go home, I will see the amount of exercise I have done in this shopping trip.

My Apple Watch uses a "modular" dial, which includes the current power, calendar, weather, amount of exercise and London World Time in addition to time. My girlfriend is currently studying in London, so it is very useful to know her time at any time. Although I can also get her time by calculating the time difference, it is intuitively the fastest.

When I go to work in the afternoon, I often check what I need to do today, such as turning on OmniFocus. In the past, I used to watch today's tasks with the OmniFocus notification bar on my mobile phone. Now I have Apple Watch, which can be viewed directly through superficial glances. At the same time, the same is true for querying Taobao to be collected.

Before wearing Apple Watch, I said I would go to the gym to work out. One is to exercise, and the other is to unlock achievements in activities. I think since one of the main functions of Apple Watch is fitness, I will give full play to this function. Today, I have been to the gym for five days in a row. On the treadmill, I can use the fitness application in my watch to record my duration, running distance, average speed and heartbeat. These records are synchronized directly to the active program on my iPhone. At the same time, when I am exercising, I can also check the received WeChat and SMS through my watch.

At night until midnight, I will stand up and walk once every hour, perhaps because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which makes me complete three exercise rings every day. But I'm glad I have some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Apple Watch may not be suitable for everyone, no, it must not be suitable for everyone. It is not unusual to spend three or four thousand yuan on an electronic watch. There are many watches that are more expensive than Apple watches, and people have different pursuits and understandings of watches. I think Apple Watch is an extension of the technology I have. Since I put on Apple Watch, I have stood up and exercised every hour. I insist on going to the gym every day. I dare say these two things have never happened before. Whether it's melodramatic or obsessive-compulsive, at least I made a difference. I think I should give Apple Watch extra points at this point. I don't know about other smart watches Maybe Apple Watch isn't the only one that allows me to do this. But I believe this direction is right.
