I know, I know.
There’s a lot of talk about Apple’s new smartwatch, which will be available to customers starting on November 30.
It’s already being hailed as a major technological breakthrough, with analysts saying it’s the future of the workplace.
But for me, the real milestone is the fact that it’s already available for purchase in the United States.
I don’t buy the hype, and it’s time to get a handle on the real, practical reasons why I’m buying an Apple Watch.
And what is the real practical reason?
Here’s what I’m finding.
1.
You’ll probably be able to tell the difference between a meal and a meal in the Apple Watches menu.
But how will I know?
The first thing to look for is the ingredients list, which tells you the type of food the device is designed to prepare.
I’m looking for an “Italian dish,” which means a steak and cheese and a salad.
That’s a pretty easy distinction to make because the two items are basically the same.
2.
You might not need an Apple Watcher to do your cooking.
Cooks don’t have to worry about Apple products.
Instead, they can buy an app to do it for them.
For instance, you can cook a hamburger in your iPhone.
You can even create an app that allows you to cook it on your computer.
If you’re a foodie, you might think you need an iPhone to cook the same meal, but you can’t.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Many home cooks have no idea how to do their own food preparation, let alone cook it in the kitchen.
3.
If Apple’s Apple Watch doesn’t help you with your cooking, why bother?
Cooks who don’t like the Apple brand have the option to order an Apple watch and get the same experience.
They can also get the watch with a special software, but they still need to make the same choices.
4.
You won’t need an iPad to cook with the Apple watch.
Cooking apps for Apple Watch will work with any tablet, so you won’t have a big disadvantage if you use an iPad instead of an Apple device.
5.
You could be eating out a lot more if you don’t need to cook.
With a touchscreen interface, you could have your dinner with a full kitchen, or have it with a little more room.
Cookbooks and cookbooks for Apple Watchers are available for download for free.
6.
Apple’s app ecosystem is a lot bigger than most people realize.
Apple says it has over 100 million apps available on the App Store, and I believe it.
If I had to choose one app to get started, it would have to be Food Monster.
You get a meal, a meal planner, a menu app, and a grocery list.
I’ve had no trouble finding recipes, and my husband and I recently started a new family of three and have been enjoying the meal-planning experience.
7.
Apple is the first to bring a smartwatch to the grocery store.
That should help with grocery shopping, too.
I already bought a pair of Apple Watcs, and they were so convenient that I could easily check the prices at the register without having to go to the register first.
8.
If the Apple watches don’t help with your shopping, there are other options.
You may be able the use the Apple Pay app to buy groceries, which works with debit cards and credit cards, but it has a lot less convenience than Apple Pay.
If your primary shopping experience involves ordering in bulk, you may be better off with a PayPass.
I like that PayPass doesn’t require a password, so I can quickly add more items to my shopping list, but PayPass has a limited number of shopping lists, so it’s less convenient than a full-fledged Apple Watch app.
9.
If it’s really important to you to be able with your iPhone or iPad to make a meal at home, you probably won’t be able.
I know many people who have no interest in using Apple Watched appliances or apps.
If they need to use an Apple gadget, they’ll probably end up spending a lot on it.
Apple doesn’t make the Apple app for the AppleWatch that you need.
Instead of getting that app, you need to buy the Apple wearable.
Apple sells the Apple Apple Watch, which is essentially an Apple smartphone, and the WatchKit ecosystem, which includes apps for your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
You don’t get the app itself, but the wearable you use.
10.
Apple watches will probably be available in more countries than other smartwatches.
The Apple Watch is coming to more countries in the near future, and we’re already seeing its popularity increase.
In fact, there’s a strong chance that Apple will launch a new version of the Applewatch in 2017.
So if you’re shopping for a new Apple Watch right
