Good afternoon everyone, I couldn’t resist. I have had the Apple Watch for about a month now. And I am positively impressed. So far, I’ve not had too many issues. It is a tiny bit different as a person who was learning how to be deaf blind. In case you’re wondering, let me explain. I am currently a student at the Helen Keller national Center for deaf and blind used in adults. It the main reason why I wound up buying the watch, is because my iPhone had to be turned into a communications device. Thanks similar to an iPad. So this created a bit of a challenge or friends, family, etc. to reach me. Basically what happens now is while staff are using my phone to contact me at least now I get a tactile reminder that there is an email, text message, or other communication from the above-mentioned groups that is waiting for me directly. The other benefit for me so far has been that when I set an alarm, say wake up each morning. I can set it on the launch it vibrates the same for the most part as the phone does. The added benefit is that the phone can stay where it normally stays in order to charge at night. I am such a light sleeper, that the watch vibrations generally do wake me up each morning. I’ve also been able to start it to tactfully remind me that it is the end of the class day should I have a class where I am essentially doing an independent study session. I’ve also successfully used at the time other things, such as laundry, as well as when I need to be at something that essence an activity that fits into class time precisely.
I hope my comments help anyone who may be reading this conversation, and wonders if the watch is right for them. I must stress however, that the watch may not be for everybody. I must admit that when I first purchased it, I thought okay I’m here to learn new things, let’s see if this is a beneficial use of the amount of money that it cost to purchase the watch.
