Three benefits I observed 1 . Less distractionI no longer need to pull out my phone to check if the buzzing was an important message or just a low priority one . 2 . Siri is more useful on my wrist Remind myself of stuff . This is so easy to do it with your watch . It ' s too cumbersome to pull out my phone to use Siri and to put it back into my pocket after that . Resume playback . I also use this a lot as I listen to podcasts most of the time . Answer texts . I see so many people bumping into other ones while texting . Not an issue with AW . 3 . Improved healthThis was my excuse to buy an AW . Now it ' s the main reason I won ' t stop wearing it . I lost weight , lowered my resting heart rate and bought an elliptical trainer that I actually use . Oh , and I feel better . Meditation became a habit thanks to the Breathing app . Oh , and Streaks App is the first habit app that works for me as I see it my watch face . Siri on Apple Watch doesn ' t support playing podcasts or podcast playlists on your iPhone , but at least it can resume playback .
