A lot of my friends have Apple watches and I’m wondering what you feel are the benefits compared to just having your phone in your pocket or in your pocketbook?

After initially getting an iPhone years ago, I was happy to have the time on screen, so I didn't need to wear a watch, but the benefits of the Apple Watch were really good for me:

  1. I specifically got it for Fitness+ initially, as I have that free through work.
  2. Decided to track my sleep, and now I'm getting better sleep these days.
  3. Works great for me at the gym; can control music without taking the phone out of my pocket.
  4. I have the Modular Ultra face, so I can immediately see my activity at a glance, and have immediate access to multiple other apps via complications.
  5. I use it to approve 2FA requests at work - that's been super helpful.

Overall, has been well worth it for me.
