Life is busy, especially with small children, and sometimes it feels like you have to do everything on the go. While hiring a PA might not be an option, you can get the next best thing on your wrist. An Apple Watch will help you keep up with calls, text messages, your calendar, and emails, as well as helping you stay healthy with fitness tracking and health monitoring. And if you don't want to pay full price for an Apple Watch Black Friday could be the best time to buy.
If you have other Apple products such as an iPhone or Apple Mac, then you can sync it with your Apple Watch, as well as with AirPods. There is also a handy feature called Family Setup which means if your (not so) little ones have an Apple Watch and they don't have a phone (yet!) they can still message and call you, and you can track their location to keep an eye on them. It also allows you to restrict who they can contact and set time limits on certain apps, using the Schooltime mode.
To ensure you keep a check on your health, Apple Watch can measure blood oxygen and takes ECG readings, as well as tracking body temperature and it even has an SOS feature so it can tell when a user falls and needs the emergency services.
Finally, you can use ApplePay with your watch if you store your payment card details on it, so you will have even less to carry to the shops. The impressive technology aside, it also looks stylish and is available in a choice of colours and can be customised with various straps. It really is a great smartwatch for everything you need to help simplify busy, modern life.
