An Apple Watch may not have the sentimental or monetary value of an antique timepiece, but it can still make a great gift. Rather than selling or trading your wearable, why not pass it on?

Not Everyone Will Buy a Smart Watch

As an Apple Watch owner, you already see the value in Apple’s wearable. Maybe you’re obsessed with tracking workouts, monitoring your sleep quality, or taking phone calls on your wrist. Maybe you don’t mind dropping a few hundred dollars on a Watch, but you wanted something functional.

When I upgraded from my Apple Watch Series 4 to the Series 8, I passed my old Watch on to my dad. It’s very unlikely that he would have ever thought to buy an Apple Watch, and I wasn’t sure if he’d give it back to me because it simply wasn’t getting any use.

The Apple Watch Is the Perfect Hand-Me-Down Device

My dad now loves his Apple Watch, but it took being convinced by some hands-on time with the wearable to see its value. Telling someone why you love your Apple Watch so much doesn’t quite compare to having them use the features for themselves. Sometimes seeing is believing, and often the small things add up.

It’s very easy to get used to having weather information on your wrist, including minimum and maximum temperatures, the UV index, and whether or not it’s going to rain. Knowing how far you’ve walked in a day with a step count is neat. Setting a timer while you wait for a pot to boil or being able to dictate a message becomes second nature. Taken alone, these aspects wouldn’t have necessarily sold me on the Watch.

Fall Detection and Apple’s heart rate monitoring can save lives. Anyone, in any kind of dire situation, can make use of the “Emergency SOS” feature accessed by pressing and holding the Side Button. The Series 8 and later has Crash Detection, which will automatically call emergency services when it detects a collision.

I’m also fully reliant on paying for items with Apple Pay and tapping my Watch to travel on public transport. I can do these things even if I leave my iPhone behind, which I often do. I never miss a phone call because my phone is in another room, even though I never answer the phone on my Watch.

Sitting someone down and giving them an Apple Watch elevator pitch isn’t as compelling as handing them your old Watch, saying “try this,” and seeing how they get on. Of course, getting the Watch for free probably helps too.

The Apple Watch Has Great Support

Perhaps the biggest criticism of the Apple Watch is how little it evolves between iterations. The plus side to this is that the Apple Watch has excellent software support. watchOS 10, which will be supported until fall 2025, will work with the Series 4 (released back in 2018).

On watchOS 9, the Series 4 doesn’t even feel slow. Sure, you can tell the difference between older and newer models, but it’s striking how well the old models hold up (even if the batteries are starting to show their age).

Apple still provides a battery replacement service for models dating back to the Apple Watch Series 2, released in 2016 (for $79). You can also get a service for other damage, like a cracked screen, but at more than $200 you might as well replace the Watch outright if you’re going that route.

You can spruce up an old Apple Watch by replacing the band. Fortunately, most Apple Watch bands are compatible with most models of Apple Watch. To quote Apple: “the 41mm bands work with 38mm and 40mm cases; the 45mm bands work with 42mm, 44mm, and 49mm cases.” The exception here is the Apple Watch Ultra.

The Apple Watch Is the Perfect Hand-Me-Down Device

The Apple Watch has used the same magnetic charger design since the first model, with an official $29 Apple charger widely available if you need a replacement. You can save some money on a third-party charger, or accessorize your older watch with Apple-centric charging stands.

It Gives You an Excuse to Buy a New One

Apple has a hard time convincing Apple Watch owners to upgrade because so little changes between iterations. I recommend waiting four or five years between Watch upgrades just to make the upgrade feel worthwhile. That way you get four or five models’ worth of improvements for your money.

2018 年にシリーズ 4 を購入し、2023 年にシリーズ 9 にアップグレードした場合、アップグレードによっていくつかの大幅な改善がもたらされます。これには、より高輝度でより大きな表面積を備えた常時表示ディスプレイ、デジタルコンパス、衝突検出、より優れた第 3 世代心臓センサー、血中酸素モニタリング、手首温度検出、高速充電、およびより多くのストレージが含まれます。

これは、システムオンチップに対する通常の (ほとんど検出できない) 改善に加えて、電力効率が向上し、バッテリー寿命がわずかに向上します。

それにも関わらず、自分のために数百ドルを費やすもう 1 つの の努力を探している場合、または最新リリースに特定の機能が必要で、それを十分に正当化できないと感じている場合は、誰がそれができるかを検討してみてはいかがでしょうか古いモデルをプレゼントするとメリットがありますか?

Watch を手放す前に

Apple Watch は iPhone に依存しているため、受け取る人が少なくとも iPhone 8 以降を持っていることを確認してください (これは、この記事の執筆時点での Apple の推奨です)。 iPhoneは新しければ新しいほど良いです。 Watch でも watchOS を更新できるように、iOS を最新バージョンに更新する必要があります。

また、受信者がウォッチに適しているかどうかも確認する必要があります。 15種類の時計を持っていて、曜日によって時計を組み合わせたいという人には合わないかもしれません。

特に寛大な気持ちがある場合は、時計を引き継ぐ前に電池を交換した方がよいかもしれません。これには約 100 ドルの予算を用意してください。時計を修理に出す必要があることに注意してください。交換用のバンドも悪い考えではないかもしれませんが、中には数年使用するとかなりひどいものになるものもあります。または、受信者にこれを行うように通知することもできます。

最後に、ウォッチをよく掃除してください。傷を消すことはできませんが、時計に汚れがないことを確認することはできます。このためにウォッチはある程度の耐水性を備えている必要があります。そうでない場合は、湿らせた布とイソプロピル アルコールを使用して消毒することもできます。

Watch の受け取り人に、特に役に立たないと思ったら返してもらえるかどうか尋ねる価値があります。その場合、いつでも他の人にギフトを贈ることができ、その場合はもっと活用してもらえるでしょう。

新しい所有者が時計をセットアップするのを手伝ってください

最後に、新しい所有者が新しいウェアラブルに慣れるまでに、いくつかの知識を伝えたいと思うかもしれません。 Watch はシンプルなデバイスですが、いくつかの点で少しわかりにくい場合があります。

特に、[見る] > [視聴] で通知を適切に設定することで、イライラを避けることができます。 iPhone 上の通知。 Apple Watch に通知が多すぎると煩わしくなり、バッテリーの消耗が早くなることがあります。コントロール センターの場所とサイレント モードを有効にする方法を理解していることを確認してください。

ウォッチフェイスは非常に個人的なものですが、ウォッチの設定方法に関するいくつかの知恵の言葉は大いに役立ちます。合併症と、それがどのように時間を節約し、一目で役立つ情報を提供できるかについて説明します。最後に、それが時計をプレゼントする理由の一部である場合は、転倒検出などの健康機能と緊急機能をセットアップします。


あなたは今、新しい Apple Watch を購入していますか? Apple Watch Ultra を選ぶのにはいくつかの正当な理由がありますので、このデバイスの使用体験を必ずお読みください。あるいは、標準の Series 9 以降も素晴らしい選択です。

Smartphones Are Boring Now and It's Our FaultSmartphones Are Boring Now and It's Our FaultApr 23, 2025 am 03:06 AM

The golden age of smartphones has passed? Future Outlook Technology enthusiasts often complain that modern mobile phones are the same and lack of innovation. Although manufacturers are to blame, we also play an important role. Let us review the development history of smartphones and explore the causes of the current situation. The Golden Age of Smartphones In 1973, Motorola engineer Martin Cooper made historic calls with the DynaTAC 8000X on the streets of New York. This "brick" phone opened the era of wireless networks. Nearly 20 years later, IBM Simon was released, becoming the world's first smartphone, equipped with a resistive touch screen and simple applications. Today, although it is a hundred times more powerful, the core function of modern smartphones is still used as an application portal. Early innovation slows down

mPDF

mPDF

mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
