I use it to time my lunch breaks so I don’t have to constantly watch a clock, and I also use it to keep track of cooking times.
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
15mins nap after lunch
Flipping steaks on the grill.
Cooking, laundry, breaks at work, lunch at work, to remind me to do something in a certain amount of time.
Connnnnstantly. For cooking, to remind me to head to my airport gate, everything!
Cooking and tea
I use mine for making tea and for my breaks at work mostly.
Stuff like cooking, face masks, etc. But more recently for my guinea pig’s nebulizer treatments ☹️
Eggs
preheating the BBQ and then burninating the meats
One of the few things I use Siri for : I hold down the crown and say "set timer for....".
And I use it for cooking, brushing teeth, drying clothes, and tons of other stuff.
Everything. I use multiple timers for checking time sensitive tasks like loading wood into our basement wood-burning furnace/boiler is a big one because it needs to be fed more frequently when it's cold and less frequently when it's warmer in the winter. Cooking, laundry, remembering to leave the house in time to pick my kids up from school, letting the cat back inside if she wants it to go potty...
Cooking
Laundry, cooking, and so I don’t forget soda or beer in the freezer. I also use the alarms on the watch to remind me when the lunch truck arrives so I don’t miss it.
mostly cooking
when I used to dye my own hair before I got a girl to do it for me on the pro tip
and stopwatch for fire drills at work
Sauna. Ice baths. Meetings. Naps. Cooking. Easily My most used daily feature of Apple watch.
ADHD medication countdown to when it wears off.
I use it to keep track of my assigned job cards for aircraft maintenance. Because supervision complains for going over the allotted time amount on tedious tasks.
Pickup time for kids. Cooking. Cutting the kids off from screen time. Naps. Flip laundry. Cut myself off and get my ass to bed on time. Lots of things.
Laundry
Tea timer, or to remind me to turn the sprinkler off after 10 minutes
Frozen pizza in the oven.
I probably use it even more than Apple Pay. I use countdowns for so much! I have an issue with missing time so it’s really helpful in getting through my day.
As a dentist, I give injections and set a timer for how long anesthetic needs to kick in.
Interesting! I wonder if a there is a market for a certified anesthetic timer which you could rely on. ie. not reliant on only a battery and not susceptible to disturbances from external sources. Safer for the patient and covers you too. Thoughts?
All the time. Laundry, cooking, reminders to leave or go somewhere.
I know timer is so useful for daily life, but after reading all comments, I've just realized it's far more useful than I thought!
Personally I use it frequently for boiling eggs and some kind of Pomodoro method in work.
Great feedback
Everything
Nice
Laundry, lunch break
Workouts in general, holding stretches, cooking, during meetings
I have ADHD and it helps me be aware of time, kind of like a kick back so I don’t get lost in what I’m doing.
Cooking ie poaching eggs and for grilling.
I use it as a reminder for parking too eg if I park on the street in a time controlled area.
Laundry, cooking, naps, my daughter’s reading time.
Just got the 51mm Epix Pro…best watch I’ve ever had.
Soft boiled eggs and pressure cooker :)))
for keeping track of my 15 and 30 minute breaks at work
for keeping track of my 15 and 30 minute breaks at work
naps
Same!
I used to when I was working (for lunch breaks) but now that I'm retired hardly ever. I'd also occasionally use it for parking meters but since I moved to Mexico I don't think I've ever even seen a parking meter so the answer it pi hardly ever use it.
Thank you… that’s useful to know
I have two.
I’m bariatric so I can’t drink 30 minutes after I eat. So I have one for that.
Then I have a water goal I have to meet. I have a 5 minute timer to remind me to drink water.
Laundry
Use it all the time but top use is for my rest periods between sets while weight training.
Same here
When I had my apple watch i frequently ran into the issue where I needed multiple timers but i mostly used it for cooking.
So id set a timer on my phone and a set time alarm on my watch
I use it for timers and used to use it to time my breaks.
Cooking and working out (circuit training)
