Once I have read somewhere that Steve Jobs has dreamed for tech products seeing the requirement of 2016. Seeing current scenario we have no doubt recent Apple products are being received well by users. The newest Apple product Apple Smart Watch is another booming the trend. We had expected a lot from Apple Smart Watch. It is not so miraculous device when we compare to all other market watches but still it has brand name and reputation of Apple.
Here are some real life uses of an Apple Smart Watch
As a Watch
Apple Watch is cool looking to use on your wrist. It is coming with various color & strips. You can select leather strip or metal strip as per you want. It has two shapes round shape and rectangle shape for watch screen. All apps are designed according the destination watch shape screen.
Apple has followed traditional Watches shapes for its screen layout. It has smooth buttons on it. It is not like luxury watch but still it is cool for the purpose of time watching. One of the problem users can face in it is that you will need to flicking your wrist or tap on screen to view time. It will not show time all time because of battery saving requirement of device. It goes dark screen after a while but I can say tech lovers will adjust it.
Till now Apple is useful and reputed brand to be used all over the world. It has been enough time since we have kept our wrist free from a Watch. We have to start this old tradition with new technology of wearing Smart watch on Wrist. No one can predict the future but seeing current response of Apple watch pre-order we can say users are very excited to try this new technology.

You want to know you texted? Just see on Apple watch screen, it will show it as a notification. You no need to bring your iPhone out of pocket.
It is very useful for person who has hands busy in doing some other task. It has many advantages for busy personalities. They can use it for communicating in their busy schedule knowing what’s going on in their communication circle on Social media etc. It will show all social media notifications as per configuration you will set on the Smart Watch & iPhone.
Imagine you just have to update facebook status to driving to specific place. You can do it without opening iPhone on the screen. It is all about making life more easy Thus Apple Smart Watch seems boon for existing iPhone users.
Every business person or professional need email communication most of the time. In such scope Apple Smart Watch is very useful. Users can view instantly who sent the email and according the priority of email they can see it. For example if the email is from a reputed business contact users will be able to read their email instantly and reply to it.
Faster communication has very advantage in current business world. Here it is well said probe “Time, death and customer never do wait for anyone”. When a person goes in seminar, meetings and public gatherings for a long time Apple Smart Watch will be very useful. It saves time of user by just giving a look and ignoring not so important emails at the sight.
Camera and photo
Apple Watch has no camera hardware with it. It uses Apple iPhone camera for the purpose of taking a picture. Its only use we can see is in taking selfie or group photo with others via putting iPhone at a distance. In other words you no need to set timer for a snap. Take a snap when you seeing properly on your Smart Watch.
Using camera feature on watch you can take beautifully timed shot while relaxing anywhere. Just put your Smartphone at place or on tripod to take the snap. This watch is very useful to view pictures for an overview purpose. Due to smaller screen size we can’t enjoy viewing pictures on it as we can on iPhone, iPad and Computers.
Map navigation
No need to explain about how we are using maps for navigation in our life. You can use it on your apple Watch screen. It is quiet easy to see maps navigation on Watch screen because it will be on our wrist. You no need to dock your Smartphone on dashboard. In that situation it was having risk of getting scratches and unnecessary light focus distraction while driving at night.
Using maps on Apple Watch screen will make it less distracting to view maps on it. Plus you will feel free in getting navigation. You can share location sending message via option “Send Location” in your Smart Watch preset options. These preset options are useful in communicating more effectively without much hustle. Go Tap on watch screen and select preset options.

It has inbuilt sensor for displaying heart rate. Although it would be better if tech innovators like Apple focused on bringing technology to let know real time Blood Pressure. In my opinion that is much more useful in terms of health analyzing. There are many people all over the world who has BP problems (high Blood pressure or Low Blood Pressure) in their day to day life. Even sometime healthy person gets these BP issues temporarily.
Anyway coming back to the point Apple Watch will track all your activities. It is nice tool and a reminder on your wrist to let you know about your health related habits & activities.

Start Experience tasking with voice commanding on Siri on watch. You can use it to maximum level if you get some experience with it. You can also record voice memo with Apple watch. You can send this memo to your friends. It is nice little method for communicating with audio messages.
Reminder utilities
Sometime reminder utilities on smart tech devices plays important role in getting task done in a proper schedule. A little example is waking up in early morning. If one set alarm as reminder it will ring to awake the person on time. In a business environment reminder helps in meeting deadline, finding appropriate task scheduling on time, going for a meeting etc.
Especially if one haven’t hired personal assistant for these tasks. We have already these features on most devices but Smart watch will have highest effect. Because wrist watch is easy to set reminder. A user doesn’t need to bring Smartphone out of pocket to do it.
