I love my watch for these reasons. Especially when I’m home alone I like to have something with me. (They also have fall alert as well.) Toddler-induced sleep deprivation and pregnancy will also destroy your memory and I ping my phone with my watch until I find where I have hidden it (or the toddler did). Also, I hope that you’re on the mend!

As for OP’s question: I use it for controlling our home system (including lights and thermostats), sending messages when my hands are full via my watch, and perhaps most importantly adding groceries to the shared groceries list in reminders.

Thank you! That was several years ago now when I fell in the tub. I didn’t know the watch had fall alert! I think I need to get a watch next!

They’ve had fall alert since the Series 4 but I’m not 100% sure if the SE has it. The 8 even has crash detection and a lot of really neat health features (ECG and blood oxygen). I know that most doctors do take the readings pretty seriously. Recently someone very close to me had some heart issues, did some ECGs and then went to the hospital. They were taken a lot more seriously and even admitted.
