The author cites two reasons why the watch is good for women: it has a siren option at 86 decibels (about as loud as a snowblower) and it is sensitive enough to temperature changes such that you can use it to track your cycle.
That…just doesn’t sell me much. I don’t know how well a car alarm in your ear is going to help, and you can get temperature monitoring from other options.
The author also claims that the watch isn’t as big and bulky on her wrist as she thought it’d be, but going by the pictures she’s a larger woman, so I would think it’d still be annoyingly large for smaller women. That, and in general it seems like a large screen is a heat seeking missile for hard objects: I’ve lost count how many times I’ve unintentionally whacked something, and I have a much slimmer watch (not an Apple Watch).
Yeah, and it’s not even just “other watches”. The Apple Watch series 8 has it too. And an alarm really doesn’t seem like a very compelling reason to spend over 1000AUD on top of the fact that it also doesn’t only apply to woman
