I found out that I had developed a heart condition because I have an Apple Watch. Was watching TV one night and felt my watch buzz. I looked at my watch, and saw that I was in Afib! So I was able to get it treated promptly so that my threat of stroke is reduced!
Maybe you should go to the Dr. more reguarly, just saying.
Which model
@@greetingsearthlingspluto6666maybe you should close your mouth more just saying 😊
Glad you’re ok. Ppl just need to be quiet if they don’t have anything positive to add
My watch alerted me to my heart rate dropping below 40 occasionally. I mentioned it to my doctor and I was sent to a cardiologist. It turns out I have Bradycardia. 😮.
I love how whenever i’ve been sitting down for too long it tells you to take a sec and stand up
Yes!
My Apple Watch had notified me a couple times of abnormally high heart rate at a resting state. Life has been so stressful, and my fitness has tanked and my anxiety at an all time high, but I didn’t realize how bad I had let it get until it had started actively alerting me. Have been making changes for the better.. worth every penny!
That’s how I found out I had PTSD causing anxiety. Kept getting alerts. Went to the doctor who monitored my heart for 3 days and it was fine other than a fast heart rate occasionally. Was referred to the shrink and figured it all out.
I agree.
The timer is like the main thing for me on the watch… I use it for gym, cook and other things. I’ve been thinking to get different bands so I can feel as if I am wearing different watches.
A feature I would like is… to adjust the time of the alarm ring. It is annoying the alarm doesn’t stop ringing. I’d like to ring for 20 seconds. It would be great if I can choose how long I want it to ring.
Also, when I have complications on the main watch face… I want to see my heart rate, timer… in real time after the screen dims.
Apple need to improve their advertising cuz I had no clue about any of these features, except heart rate and gestures of course. This is the best “ad” I’ve seen on the Apple Watch ever since it came out.
This the first time I’ve ever seen someone say Apple needs more advertising 😂😂😂
The feature I use every day and love so much is the ability to add groceries to my shopping list in reminders using Siri. Even my children run to me, press the crown and go like: “add biscuits to the groceries list” 😂
Just ordered mine and this just reaffirmed my purchase!!
me same, when I run low on something or think of ingredients for a meal, I add them to the list via Siri and when I next hit the stores for food items, my list is already waiting for me. I've found this a major plus besides all the other things the watch can do.
I got one after being diagnosed with high blood pressure & hearing of different people I work with that had irregular heartbeats it gave me notifications on heart rates blood oxygen plus exercise minutes & calories burnt it made me want to get more healthy & exercise more
Thank you for sharing your favorite Apple Watch features. I got my Apple Watch two years ago and have barely used some of the features. I mostly used it to track my Activity and to use the timer.
On July 16 almost 7 months ago at 9 PM I started feeling fluttery and I done an EKG through my series 5 and it detected atrial fibrillation which scared me and I was admitted to the hospital and stayed overnight until morning. I didn’t even sleep until 3 am after being in the ER for 4 hours and I got my blood drawn to check for cardiac enzymes. I went back to the doctor a few days later and got my blood drawn again and found out I have sleep apnea. I go back for another follow up on April 17 to see if I can qualify for a CPAP machine and I traded my series 5 for the Ultra 2 which has a longer battery life and I sleep with it on and it has the blood oxygen feature which helps. I’m currently 29 and will be 30 in 5 more months and didn’t know how the Afib got after me. My watch has saved me from a stroke!
I love my 45mm midnight black apple watch series 8. Probably the most personal piece of tech I own.
Same here! (Actually I think my AirPods Pro 2s are my fav) I have a series 7
The health benefits go beyond what's directly offered. For example, the watch has no feature to detect breathing issue such as sleep apnea (which I have), but by looking at my sleep stage info as well as heart rate monitoring and respiration rate I am able to infer breathing interruptions during sleep. It's a great device. P.S. this is a great channel and I always look forward to your content!
Galaxy Watch 5 or 6 has that feature
Agree. My realised I had sleep apnea because of my heart rate increasing during the night. Got officially diagnosed and then got surgery to fix it.
@@Spotto26what were your heart rate intervals, Minimum and Maximum during sleeping? Thanks!!
@@bogdandinu503 minimum was around 50, which is normal. But it would sometimes sky rocket to 120-130 and stay there for nearly an hour.
interesting, I've noticed that a few times on mine also , something I'll track . thanks👍 @@Spotto26
I already own an Apple Watch series 9 I switched from a series 5 like 2 months ago and I’m happy my first apple watch was a series 3 than 5 and now 9 really good to keep eye on time, weather and notifications plus calls as well
Jusy got a series 9 and have clue yet. Thank you for a great tutorial!
Good video. Wasn't going to get one but now I think I will... Thanks.
First off, I’d like to say that I love my Apple Watch!!!! I have the series 7 version. I think my favorite feature is the text to talk when sending text messages. Also having the keyboard on the watch even though I don’t use that.
I was not aware that I could tap my fingers when I get a text coming in and able to reply… I just got it and still so many features that I am learning about. Great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well, I have a couple of things that I love about my Apple Watch first being able to view my medical ID on the watch is amazing and also the emergency SOS feature really comes in handy and also fall. Detection is great as well. I also love using the mental health feature on the Apple Watch. Oh yes, the mindfulness app and many other things. I am visually impaired so those things really really help me out and those are my favorite things on the Apple Watch and being able to track my workout as well and my steps, and looking up the rings as well. I have a little bit of vision to see the rings on my phone. Sleep I did track it for a while but then I stopped tracking it.☺️⌚️
Great video. Thanks for sharing the benefits
On my lte apple watch se2, i can connect bluetooth headphones directly to the watch and stream music and take calls without the phone. So, you can go out or work out in the gym and leave your phone at home. This drains the battery, though. In fact, most basic apple apps for the watch can work independently.
Did apple watch got back the oxymeter SPO2 feature? Or we won’t be getting it anymore? I am confused between Apple Watch Ultra or the S9
I bought my first iPhone and Apple Watch in 2020. I carry a Samsung Galaxy Ultra and iPhone Pro Max daily but since purchasing it my Apple Watch 6 has been my preferred watch. I however definitely prefer using my Samsung phone
Double tap is not a feature only on the series 9. I have a series 5 and I can use double tap. I like using it to either dismiss a notification or take a picture hands free
I just bought a Series 8. How do you activate it?
@@mikaelbiilmann6826 assistive touch in settings on the watch app I believe hope that helped?
Series SE Nike Edition love to be fashionable w both bands and watch faces and I love to see the weather w temp and moon astronomy features too w. Moon phases
What's the watch face you are using?
I love tracking sleep and have made improvements in mine.
I have Apple Watch SE first generation I’m enjoying it so much
Me too. Loved it but the battery was down to 84% and when there was a sale on the Series 8, I upgraded. Am very happy with it.
I'm still rockin' the SE Gen 1. I'll probably need an upgrade soon. I might try to hold off till the X if I can make it till September.
The Apple Watch is brilliant at home i use it often instead of my phone, Voice inputs for Microsoft todos, alarms, timers, sending messages, controlling audio…
Out and about i use it for payment, travel tickets, steps, weather, directions, audio controls, alerts to see whether I’ll get my honeymoon out and more.
Sometimes i go out only with my Apple Watch and AirPods (and clothes).
Also for fitness and food monitoring.
Can any company makes
A watch only for multimedia
I like to used youtube in my watch😁
When you doubletap on your fingers then you can start a timer or you can a incomingcall assume or hang up but you can also a snooze a Alarm clock
Using the watch for walking directions is amazing in a city! I use it every time I'm in NYC or -- really any major city that I am visiting
What is the model of the video? 41 or 45?
I have series 9, it's well done but the battery is not working well due to its drain fast.
I have been charged it every day 😅
Still have the series 5. It’s a good tool
I just Bought the ultra 2 and I love it
What am I missing? Out on if I go with a se2.? Do I need cell hook up?
I have a series 9 and it’s my first one and I love it
aluminium or stainless steel ?
@@Blue824aluminum
Is this a 41mm or 45mm watch?
I love all the features.
I just got a series 9. Its the best piece of tech I own❤
Really really good video ! Thank You
i find the wrist haptics kind of annoying for alerts, i haven't found a way to only have wrist haptics on the alarm, that would be my preferred option
Serious question here and please help me to understand if my watch is not working properly.
I bought Apple Watch SE 2 days ago. So, first problem is that I’m using it without code, as whenever I’m using the code, even if it’s on my wrist, it ask me always to put the code to unblock the watch.
Second problem : I was at the gym today and tried to start the fitness tracker but it just kept pausing the tracking after a few seconds. I have a lot of tattoos in my left arm where I’m using the watch and I don’t know if this is something that could trigger the sensor of the watch.
I have read somewhere recently that if you have a dark / heavy ink tattoo that sits under your watch, it will have difficulty taking readings underneath off your skin although I've no idea if this is the case for you though.
The sleeping app on iwatch is really useful and accurate. I adjust my exercise activities based on my sleeping quality. I can do more if i have a good sleep, otherwise, I take a break.
Great video, unlocking your Mac I heard is possible with Apple Watch - that'd be my number one feature
I use a lot of the features but the one game changer is the silent alarm :D
If you turn the digital crown on your watch when your sleepmode is on, then you can change the Watchfacecolor from white to red. you can set as the watch always after every full hour play a sound or a vibration, so that you can the time better assess, for that you go in the settings of your watch and then you scroll down to clock and then you set the wind chime on.
I love the sleep++ app
Haptics while navigating for sure ❤
How do I download the blog? your channel is called "i Download blog" 🤪
I’m on my second one 1st a 4 give to my daughter and now an 8 What I use the very most is find my iPhone 2nd is timer 3ed is sleep app combined with iPhone Also if you want a really good deal on a Apple Watch ⌚️ wait for Prime day I bout mine $279 when they were selling at$400 + btw nice video 😊
Favorite feature answering the phone on the watch
informative 🔥👍🏻
Great video!!!
Finding my iPhone when it pings and makes the sound it’s a game changer
it would be interesting if you would make a comparison video. For instance, a video where you compare some apple products to similar products of other brands. There are so many options besides the apple ones. Apple does provide quality and reliability, but for a certain price tag that not everyone can afford. The features that you describe as your favourite and make the apple watch a "must have" are kind of basic fitness features for every smart watch out now. Besides, it is commonly known that the fitness trackers on the apple watch are not as accurate as you might think. Some fitness trackers specifically designed for fitness are more accurate and only cost 30 dollars. The apple watch is handy and I do think that as an iPhone user you are better of with an apple watch than any other smart watch, purely because of the connectivity with your phone and how iOS and WatchOS communicate with eachother. It makes it feel more premium and comfortable. But, brands like fitbit and garmin can be alternatives to the apple watch if you are just interested in your personal health for a lower price. You just won't get the premium features and notifications from your phone and things like that. Also if i might add, the dictation on the apple watch does work really good, but that is just for the english language. Tbh I don't know what it is like for other languages but my own one. My first language isn't english and the dictation of my native language on my phone for instance and apple watches of friends is way less accurate than in your case. Just to clarify for everyone. I do love the apple watches and I'm planning on getting one too, but I do realise for the price they come at, it's not for everyone and there are other brands out there as good alternatives. The reasons you mention are not special and exclusive for the apple watch. A lot of smart watches have that. That's why I would love a comparison video so that it is more obvious why the apple watch stands out and why not. Perhaps one half of the viewers will be convinced that the apple watch is perfect for them, and the other half will be convinced that cheaper options meet their needs also. There is so much more than just apple products.
Great device for multisport. 👍🏻☺️
I have a se2. I like it!
What I’m looking forward for the Apple Watch if I get one is the calling because whenever I come from school to work I kind of am lazy or shy to pick up my phone while listening to music so it would be so cool if I can just talk to my dad on the watch lol 😂
who did your wave tatto i need to get mine redone
I have the series 9 cellular. I have my fave playlist downloaded onto my phone and I can send and receive calls and messages when out the house the gym particularly with my headphones on and leave my phone at home.
Absolute game changer for me 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
i thought these things were useless until my boyfriend got me one this christmas, now i can’t take it off
“It is always on your wrist”. So, when do you charge it? I have a Series 4 Apple Watch that can only hold a charge for 13-15 hours, and it takes 2 hours to charge. Sleep monitoring and an alarm clock in the morning is impossible unless I only use it at night. Speech-to-text works great for English, but not for my native language (Danish). The most wanted feature is battery life that lasts more than a day. The Apple Watch Ultra is supposed to last 36 hours, but it costs more than $1000, so I don’t use my Apple Watch very much anymore. I use my Garmin Forerunner, which holds a charge for weeks. Apple Watch Series 9 still only has 18 hours of battery life, so I will stick with my Garmin for now, which is a shame, because I do like the features of my Apple Watch otherwise.
Great video
nice video👍🏻🤞🏻
I have Apple Watch 8 but after 2 months I switched back to Garmin Forerunner 955 solar. What’s apple’s battery life in hours is Garmin’s in days. For the serious regular health check is better a doctor than Apple Watch.
I’ve always thought drive thrus should have a top to pay terminal outside the window for phones or watches
yes,
Awesome video.
“Traffic circles” lol I’ve not heard that since I was visiting a friend in Canada….
I just got myself an Apple Watch Series 8 45mm GPS version. It’s a nice change coming from watch series 3 42 mm.
may i know why didnt you go with the series 9? thanks
I must be an idiot but I can’t seem to set the wake up to be just a wrist tap with no sound. Wish I knew how to do that!
I use series 8 so tapping feature is not there. But I like it and use it most for apple pay. I do not need to carry my wallet when I go out. I can literally pay at 99% of places in the UAE with Apple watch. Sleep tracking is my second use case.
I do have my iPhone 14 Pro Max and paired it to my recently purchased Apple Watch Series 9 but the proximity feauture that can detect my phone whenever I misplaced it doesn’t working at all. What can I do to activate it?
You need the 15
Yahhh, right! 😂
I hardly ever use my Watch now. It’s just something that I stopped using recently!
Do you use a screen protector on your watch? I’m always afraid to use mine without one. I have a series 9 aluminum 45mm.
I do, even though I only wear it on my wrist at night. Too expensive a watch to
be all scratched up.
Oh just,like my iPhone screen protector yes forthe watches
I love my watch. Have the 7 but will not upgrade until they put the oxygen money back in.
I was planning to buy but I was undecided which is the one better for me.. I’m 60yo. Need an Apple Watch than can monitor my Blood Pressure, Heart Pulse , And Sugar Monitoring plus Sleeping Track. Is Apple SE 2023 good or Apple Watch 9 series? Hoping you Suggest one for me Thanks for your vlogs .. from Germany 🇩🇪 which Apple Watch is great one.
Nice vlog❤
Definitely get the series 9
Series 9 would be better if price doesn't matter...
Buy the Apple Watch 9. The SE doesn’t have the functionality you want. The Ultra has too many not needed functions.
I use the ping find my phone feature almost daily 😂
I like the sleep tracking the most. All I do is wear it, sleep, and it tracks my sleeping.
The flash light blinking is SOS code
Love love my Apple Watch cant and won’t leave home without it
Thanks about paying at the drive thru 👍🏼
You’re lucky your tattoo ends right before your Apple Watch because it would mess up the wrist detection feature like mine does. That’s the only thing that frustrates me, but I love my SE 2
Mine is coming in tomorrow and I can’t wait to use Apple Pay on it and text with it
I agree but expensive
Try saying Futuristic feeling feature 10 times fast.
second phone line and heart watching. Love my watch.
I love my Apple watch and healthy features
What model in the video? 9 series?
Both, he has a Series 9 and the Ultra 1 or maybe 2 but three is no noticible diff to tell the Ultra 1 and 2 apart... I believe...
Does apple watch notify you if you have forgotten your iPhone at home for example?
It connects to your phone so you get a notification if you walk to far away from it because it disconnects I’ve just got an iPad Pro & you get a notification when your away from it on find my iPhone
The Apple Watch SE 2 can also do double tap
I have the iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Ultra 2
Now pls Tell me what is the watch face you using at start
I know it’s been two months, but it’s Infograph lol
How does everyone know all the things you do about the Apple Watch? Where would I find out? Help 😢
Incredible that this watch could save your life. Thank you Apple.
I have the Apple watch ultra 2. But never tried the pitch features. Going to play with that soon.
Sucks that you can’t get the new ones anymore or the ones with the blood oxygen sensor. Knocked them back a few years. If you buy one now you can only get up to the Apple Watch 6 or from somewhere else.
You can outside the US, I’m gonna order the Series 9 (EU)
I have one with my 14 pro
Water proof or water resistance?
The ultra one is & it’s got a depth gauge
Still rocking the series 6. I think the 10 might be my upgrade if its compelling.
