Apple Watch Saved My Life

When the first Apple Watch came out, I bought it. New toy, love for watches, etc. A month later, sold it.

When the second Apple Watch came out, I had $300 in Apple credit and said what the heck, let's get the new, improved water resistant version. Turns out in a year's time, I rarely wear it. For some reason, decided to wear it for the past few days. Good thing I did. It just gave me a notification tone and reminded me to breathe.

Like I said, lifesaver. Now that I am still alive, back to the drawer for a while.

Sounds like you are a sure candidate for a Rolex on one wrist and an Apple Watch on the other.

You never know when you may forget to breathe. Thank the Lord for the Apple Watch.

Does anyone want to sell one? My wife wants one and I don't want to pay up at Apple Store. Because it will end up in a drawer. 🤣

Although mine ends up in a drawer, how can I possibly phantom parting with it after today's life saving, life changing experience? I would be such an ingrate.

I don't blame you one bit. How ever would you remember to do the important things in life like, breathe or check the responses to your thread on TRF!!! I wouldn't part with it either but I had to ask as I thought maybe you would be a trusted seller???
