Hello Donna, I completely agree with you regarding the turn-by-turn hap tic feedback that the watch provides.
Not long ago, for whatever reason, I left my watch at home. I was attempting to navigate, via Apple Maps, and I just couldn't get it right because I missed that hap tic feedback. I kept telling the driver to turn much too late because I found myself waiting for that feedback. (big smile). It is truly amazing how quickly one can become used to a certain type of technology. Still Smiling, Mark -----Original Message----- From: 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2019 11:14 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Theme Question: How Do You Use Your Apple Watch? Hi all, My answers would be: 1. The Work-out app 2. Activity, monitoring calories burned, flights climbed, steps, stand hours 3. Texting with Siri and dictation 4. Checking the weather in the morning 5. Monitoring heart rate 6. the little ping it gives you when you need to turn when using Maps. A small detail, but my husband and I recently moved to a new city. We don't know our way around all that well, so I--with help from Maps--am often the navigator. We both love that little ping on the wrist. Honorable mention: Phone calls. I don't do this often, but when I have it's been very handy. Sorry, I know that's more than three. But technically, items 1, 2, and 5 could be combined under fitness ...
