The Apple Watch Ultra is a useful and innovative device, its design and functionality aimed at a diverse audience.
In this article we tell you its main uses.
1. Receive and Respond to Notifications Instantly
One of the most practical features of the Apple Watch is its ability to keep us connected at all times. You no longer need to take your phone out of your pocket or backpack to check messages or alerts. You can receive notifications from apps like email, text messages, social media, or even work app alerts, all right on your wrist.
The Apple Watch not only alerts you, but also lets you respond without having to interact with your phone. You can dictate a response, use predefined replies, or even type using the watch's keyboard, making it easy to stay productive without distractions.
2. Pay with Apple Watch: Apple Pay
The Apple Watch has also become a key tool for making contactless payments. Thanks to Apple Pay, you can pay in physical stores, in apps, or even on the web, with just a tap of your wrist. Simply link your credit or debit card to your Apple Watch through the Wallet app, and that's it: pay quickly, securely, and efficiently, without having to take out your wallet or phone.
Plus, with Apple's security technology, your payment information is protected, as it's transmitted encrypted and not shared with merchants.
3. Calling and Receiving Calls from Your Wrist
The Apple Watch has also transformed how we handle calls. Thanks to its connectivity with your iPhone, you can make and receive calls directly from the watch. With just a tap on the screen or a simple voice command, the watch becomes a portable phone on your wrist.
It's especially useful when you're on the go or when your hands are full. You can also activate the watch's speakerphone or connect a Bluetooth headset to enjoy distraction-free conversations.
4. Use ChatGPT for Quick Consultations
Although ChatGPT is primarily available on devices like smartphones and computers, you can also take advantage of artificial intelligence from your Apple Watch. With messaging apps or virtual assistants like Siri, you can send questions and receive quick answers using AI processing power.
While the experience isn't as comprehensive as on larger devices, the Apple Watch can provide instant answers or even help you perform simple tasks, such as setting reminders or sending messages, using voice commands.
5. Integrated Compass for Orientation
The Apple Watch is also designed for adventurers and explorers. Equipped with a built-in compass, the watch can provide accurate guidance even when you don't have access to a mobile phone. This feature is especially useful for those who enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking or cycling, where having a reliable reference point can be crucial.
The Apple Watch compass works with other apps like Maps to show your location and guide you in real time, enhancing your experience in nature or unfamiliar cities.
6. Family Setup: Connecting the Little Ones
One of the great advantages of the Apple Watch is its ability to efficiently connect families, even if not everyone has an iPhone. Family Setup is a feature that allows parents to set up their child's (or a family member's) Apple Watch without them needing their own iPhone.
This allows little ones to access all the watch's features, such as messaging, calling, and location tracking, without having to have a smartphone. Parents can also control the watch's functions from their own device, ensuring their children's safety and well-being.
7. Monitor sleep
One of the Apple Watch Ultra's features is sleep monitoring, probably one of the best features for increasing your productivity and improving your mood.
With this app, you can check your sleep history in different REM states, including light and deep sleep. You can also view important health data while you sleep, such as your heart rate, blood oxygen, and respiratory rate. This way, you can better understand your sleep status and improve it—just wear your watch while you sleep.
8. Monitor heart rate
Apple Watch Ultra features an app called Heart Rate, which is important to use during sports training, when suffering from arrhythmias, or if you have a history of stroke.
With this device, you can prevent any heart problems thanks to the notifications it sends when heart rates go out of range.
It's also an excellent motivator for setting performance limits, improving recovery after exercise, and improving your fitness level.
9. Medication reminder
If you need to take medication or vitamins, or are managing a family member's medications, you'll love the Medications app on Apple Watch Ultra.
Just take a few minutes to add your medications and schedule to your iPhone, and keep your watch with you.
10. Monitor the menstrual cycle
For women, the great advantage of the Apple Watch Ultra is the ability to monitor their menstrual cycle. This allows you to predict your fertile days and the arrival of your period. In some countries, it can even provide estimated ovulation data.
11. Monitor handwashing
For those who take their health seriously and understand the importance of disease prevention, the Apple Watch Ultra's handwashing feature helps remind you to wash your hands when you get home.
It also monitors the washing time, a minimum of 20 seconds, which is recommended by doctors and health organizations worldwide.
