Although Apple Watch has been released to the eighth generation, for many Apple fans, Apple Watch seems to be inseparable from being like a mobile phone. Many people bought Apple Watch on a whim, but it didn't take long to put it. After all, no matter how you look at it, it is just a watch with a little technological sense.
Apple Watch can do other than take the time to see it? This time, I recommend several practical small functions and apps for Apple Watch. Perhaps, these small features and apps can save your already-destroyed Apple Watch and make it a part of your life.
#Apple Watch comes with practical small functions #
Click gently, iPhone "appears"
In modern society, mobile phones have almost become the "mechanical organ" of many people and cannot be separated for a moment. Some people even become anxious when they leave their mobile phones. But there are always moments when the phone that was still there the previous second will disappear without realizing it. For many patients with "mobile phone anxiety" without AirTag, Apple Watch can also transform into a search tool to make the "invisible" iPhone "appear". Swipe upward on the watch's home screen interface and you can find a vibrating mobile phone pattern in the control center. Tap the "Call iPhone" button and the iPhone will make a sound, prompting the owner to its location. If you press and hold the button for a long time, the iPhone will light up the flash while making a sound.
watch transformed into a photo controller
have dinner with friends, traveling out... Recording happy moments with photos has become a way of life for many people. But when you go out to take photos, there are always times inconvenient. If you want to take photos at scenic spots, it is easy to take photos of your head by taking selfies. When there is no selfie stick, the Apple Watch can also be transformed into an iPhone camera controller to help you take good photos easily.
Open the camera app in the Apple Watch and the iPhone will automatically turn on the camera. You can see the real-time shooting of the iPhone on your watch and control the camera shutter. Twitch the crown and adjust the focal length to find the most suitable format. On the watch, you can also set a flash to switch the front and rear cameras.
with a light cover, silent call
As a member of Apple's family bucket, you can also answer calls and send and receive text messages on Apple Watch. When it comes to work and meetings, it is inconvenient to answering calls, in addition to hanging up, Apple Watch also provides mute options. When an incoming call reminder or SMS notification sounds on your iPhone or Apple Watch, cover your palms on the watch screen for three seconds to quickly mute the incoming call. Even if the iPhone is not around, the "Screen Overscreen Mute" function also works.
It is also very easy to use this function. You just need to open "Settings" on your Apple Watch, tap "Sound and Touch" and turn on "Screen Over-Screen Mute".
Tap the dial with both fingers, and there is also a small function that is often ignored on the Apple Watch, which is voice timing. With both fingers, the watch can voice the real-time time. Very convenient for some people who are too lazy to look at non-digital watch faces. Moreover, for specific dials, voice broadcasts also have small surprises. For example, in the Mickey/Minnie dial, press the dial with a single finger, and you can not only hear the sound of Mickey/Minnie broadcasting time, but also receive a greeting from them. Of course, if you want to have this feature, remember not to turn off the silent mode of the watch.
Raise your hand and swipe the traffic card
For most working parties, the most common action you do when commuting every day is swipe the card. Although various bus card apps have been integrated into the mobile phone, sometimes your hands are filled with things. If you can't open your mobile phone, it's easy to get rid of the traffic card. At this time, the traffic card function of the Apple Watch is particularly advantageous. Raise your hand and move your watch close to the sensing area, and you can easily swipe your card and enjoy the same transfer discounts and discounts as physical bus cards.

Fitnex: Automatically count "sports coach"
Most people who buy Apple Watch are probably attracted by its sports properties. It has to be said that the various sports monitoring functions that Apple Watch comes with are already very comprehensive, including automatic recognition of running and other training, and can also monitor heart rate , calculate calories, reminding users to stand at least 1 minute per hour. Every night, watching all three sports rings close is probably the happiest time for many people.
Since you have chosen Apple Watch, of course it should be used for exercise. In addition to the sports app that comes with the watch, "Fitnex" is a good choice for people who are accustomed to exercise. Fitnex is a sports app that supports automatic counting. As long as you wear a watch during exercise, it can automatically calculate the number of exercises such as squats, rope skipping , belly curls, etc., and you no longer have to worry about counting and forgetting.
Moreover, after entering personal body information in the App, "Fitnex" can also calculate the calories consumed for each exercise based on personal body information and exercise heart rate. All the sports data will eventually be uploaded to the phone and will be automatically summarized into charts and records. Whether it is weight training or strength training that requires equipment in the gym, it supports it. In the app, you can also customize the training plan and adjust the sports and the number of exercises according to your needs. But at present, these need to be set up in the mobile app.
Air shooting: No physical performance "expert"
Want to exercise but no venue or equipment? It doesn't matter, even if you have nothing, as long as the Apple Watch is equipped with "air shooting", you can have a shooting competition anytime and anywhere.
"Air Shooting", as the name suggests, is to shoot at the air, the last "air" sport that was popular all over the world, called air guitar.
Compared to real shooting, "air shooting" is actually very simple. It does not require equipment or pick the field. It only needs one - imagination. Fully mobilize your imagination, focus your attention in the distance, fantasize that you are the Sakuragi Hanadao and Rukawa Kaede in the comics, or the Fieryman Jordan , James ... Raise your arms high, let your palm fit the arc of the "basketball", aim at the target, use force on your wrist, and throw the ball into the void. was born with a "swish" sound. If you are not satisfied, you can still imagine the enthusiastic cheers of fans in the stadium in your mind. At this moment, all the glory belongs to you.
relies on the sensor in the Apple Watch. The "air shot" determines whether each shot can "scort" based on the movement trajectory of the wrist. Compared to reality, the goal judgment of "air shooting" is much looser. As long as the wrist movement is large enough, generally speaking, eight out of ten can score goals.
Of course, if "air shooting" is not enough to satisfy you, the app also has "air Frisbee " and "air golf" to experience it. When you are doing nothing, you might as well try this unique exercise method.
AutoSleep: Your sleep recorder
In addition to exercise, if you want to have a healthy body, your sleep quality is also the top priority. Among the various sleep detection apps, "AutoSleep" is an app that can automatically count sleep data without opening any apps, without any operation, just sleeping with a watch.
is different from mobile phones. Apple Watch can record the wearer's heart rate, exercise status and position changes anytime and anywhere. Relying on these data and complex analysis models, "AutoSleep" can roughly infer the wearer's sleep status and display it in a graphical way.
On the main interface of "AutoSleep", you can see a conspicuous circular dial. This dial is a dial that represents the user's sleep. Different lines correspond to different sleep data. The outermost ring represents the trend of sleep quality, and the ring in the dial represents data such as sleep time, sleep quality and sleep depth.
sleep data is represented by colors such as red, green and blue. The closer it is to red means the worse the data, and the closer it is to blue means the better the data. An ideal sleep ring should be the transition from red to orange and eventually green. If the sleep ring stops suddenly in orange or red, it means that the sleep is poor or even insufficient.
Whether you choose to wear a watch while sleeping, "AutoSleep" can track sleep. After waking up every day, you can also enter the "Today" module in the "AutoSleep" application of iPhone to view the sleep indicators of the previous day, including sleep scores, preparation scores and recommended bedtime tonight. Even if you feel that the sleep tracking data is different from the actual situation, you can adjust the sleep module through the adjustment button to improve the tracking plan.
