How often do you use the apps on your watch? (alien.top)

I got my SE2 a couple months back to help keep me in check to exercise more. Ive been working at home and my posture and exercise amount has been pretty awful. Averaging 3500 steps a day before the watch.

Besides checking my steps and starting/stopping exercises i dont really look at it much tho tbh. Besides the occasional fast forward of a video/podcast im listening to.

Ive only downloaded a couple extra apps but only really look at basic stuff typically. Or glance at my watch when im nervous occasionally.

Besides the basics ( checking the time or notifications) how much/often do yall look at ur watch?

Not much. Have most notifications turned off across the watch and the interface is often too small for my old fingers.

Though, I do have a few installed for complications and notifications. The only one I actively use outside or heart rate, ecg, and workout is OurGroceries. However it is nicer to get my Forticlient VPN key on the watch over the phone. And the Stand Up app notifications are much more recognizable than Apple’s default notification. I do use ECG, Heart Rate, oxygen levels, and mindfulness on a daily basis.

Mostly I just use my phone still. Don’t think I would be able to leave it at home. Many apps like reminders, calendar, home, phone, and messages are really only useful to me on the phone.
