What is Apple Watch

Apple's smartwatch that works with iPhone

Apple Watch (Apple Watch) is a wristwatch-type wearable computer (smartwatch) sold by Apple since April 24, 2015.
From Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Watch

It is a watch used with an iPhone.
Single use, cannot be used with Android smartphones.

It is a product that Apple has been putting a lot of effort into, and sales have been rising year by year, and it has become the most popular product after the death of Steve Jobs.

It is estimated that Apple Watch shipments in the third quarter of 2020 were 11.8 million units, an increase of nearly 75% from the same period last year.

First, I would like to tell you about the strengths and weaknesses of my Apple Watch.

Advantages of the Apple Watch

There are various dials, and it can be used in a surprisingly large number of situations (silent mode at funerals)

Changing attitudes towards health,

Training, Workout Expedite,

It seems that many people lose weight when using it,

It constantly measures and records the movement and heart rate of the wearer and tells you,

iPhone notifications come to your wrist, so you can check the contents immediately,

You can use electronic money,

Links with the iPhone map app and taps your wrist for navigation,

Call an ambulance in an emergency,

While playing music, it becomes a remote control for iPhone,

You can transfer music from iPhone to Apple Watch and play Bluetooth on its own,

Can unlock Mac,

You can smoothly unlock Face ID of iPhone even while wearing a mask,

You washed your hands now, didn't you?,

Electrocardiogram can be measured (Series 4/5/6 only),

Control your iPhone camera remotely, 

You can use Siri on your wrist, 

You can call the lost iPhone by playing sound, 

Become a flashlight (extra), 

After that, stopwatch, timer, compass, calculator function, etc. 

There are many simple functions, but it is convenient when you actually use it. 

It is a very big advantage that iPhone notifications are aggregated on the wrist.

You don't have to take out your iPhone or look at it every time.

Weaknesses of the Apple Watch

Short battery life (2-3 days at most) 

Some people may find it heavy 

Some people rarely have allergies 

Price (from about 32,000 yen even for the low-end model SE) 

Design

What you can do with your Apple Watch

There are too many to explain all of them, so I will introduce the main functions.

iPhone notifications come to your wrist 

For me personally, the biggest advantage of the Apple Watch is this. 

All your iPhone notifications will now come to your Apple Watch. 

It hits your wrist with a stupid sound called "pawn" and displays the notification content. 

You can see LINE messages from your friends on your wrist. 

You can see the talk screen in the LINE app on Apple Watch. 

You can also send messages, send LINE stamps, and send fixed phrases by voice input. 

Voice input accuracy is excellent. 

The mail received by the Outlook application looks something like this.

Receiving SMS messages

Official name is mute mode
Silent mode disables sound and only vibrating notifications.

It is also possible to send messages 

The accuracy of voice input is excellent, so you can send simple messages with Apple Watch. 

When you want to start a new line, pronounce "Kaigyo" 

Pronounce "maru" when you want to enter a period 

If you want to enter commas, pronounce "ten"

Example Sentence

1. Ms. Suzuki
2. I have an urgent inquiry about tomorrow's meeting.
3. I would appreciate it if you could call me when you are ready.
4. Sato
5. If it is about this sentence, it is possible to input enough with Apple Watch.
6. Did you know that voice input on the iPhone follows the same rules?
7. It's convenient, so please try it once.

You can switch and customize the dial and band as you like

You can freely choose the dial and band according to your location and mood.
This is a feature unique to smartwatches.
iPhone has an app called "Watch", but Apple Watch settings are basically done from this app. 

Find a watch face you like from the watch face gallery and add it to your Apple Watch. 

There are casual dials, classic dials, exercise dials, and unique dials. 

There are dials that can only be used on some specific models, but basically you can use them for free. 

Multiple dials can be registered and switched. 

You can switch in 1 second. 

This convenience is also a good point of Apple Watch!

Incoming and outgoing

When you receive an incoming call on your iPhone, your Apple Watch vibrates and tells you who is calling. 

It is also possible to answer with Apple Watch and talk like Conan, or reject incoming calls. 

I don't make calls on my Apple Watch, but it 's nice to have less missed calls. 

If your iPhone is in your pocket or bag, you may not notice incoming calls. 

Incoming calls notified by Apple Watch are only phone calls and FaceTime. 

Please note that LINE, Messenger, and Zoom do not vibrate the Apple Watch. 

It would be very helpful if LINE incoming calls were notified by vibration, so I would like you to respond here.
