The new Apple Watch can display notifications and alerts straight from your iPhone. It is also packed with many business features that are impressive, to say the least.
How can the Apple Watch help you run your business? Let’s count the ways.
1. Alerts
How many times have you missed an alert on your phone and missed a great opportunity as a result? With this new smartwatch, you never have to miss notifications ever again. The Apple Watch, when paired with your iPhone, will buzz on your wrist and notify you whenever an alert arrives. Whether it’s a text message, email, calendar event, or reminder, the Apple Watch can grab it from your iPhone and deliver it straight to your wrist.
If you do not own an iPhone or you do not wish to pair it with the Apple Watch, you will still be able to enjoy basic features like the built-in pedometer and of course, accurate timekeeping.
2. Unique professional design
The Apple Watch is the perfect new addition to your professional wardrobe. It comes in different models and has a square face that is offered in two different sizes. It will also be offered in different kinds of bands made of different materials: leather, plastic, and metal.
The Watch may also be navigated with a simple twist of its cylindrically-shaped crown on the side.
3. Mobile wallet services
Apple’s new mobile wallet service, Apple Pay, is available on the Apple Watch. It provides customers with a more convenient way to pay instead of having to do so in cash or via credit card. The Apple Watch’s built-in NFC (near-field communication) chip allows it to get detected by contactless POS (Point-of-Sale) devices.
To use the service on the smartwatch, users must link the device to their bank account. Afterwards, they will be able to make payments with a simple scan of their wrist.
4. Voice prompts
With this feature, you could perform different actions hands-free and without having to take out your iPhone from your pocket. You can set alerts and reminders, take notes, and even get directions while you’re driving; with the Watchautomatically syncing everything to your phone.
5. Third-party apps
Launch apps right from the Apple Watch’s home screen. With developers quickly jumping in with more apps for the device, you will definitely find plenty of choices when it comes to business applications that can help you run your business more efficiently.
