Was planning to give to her solely for health tracking options. She’s not too great with technology and eyesight ain’t the greatest to use text typing on watch to respond to people. Also doesn’t quite workout much so don’t really know if step tracking is much useful even. What the watch would do primarily would be sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring. A friend of mine suggested to get a yearly heart checkup (ECG, tmt, etc) instead of investing in the watch since it’s anyways not a medical grade thing and I am skeptical now about how to go about it. Anyone with suggestions? Btw planning a 41mm Series 8 in case if that’s important.

    Got my mom an Apple Watch and she 84. She doesn’t know how to use most of the functions but if she falls I’ll get a notification. She can also call someone for help if she does fall. She luvs talking to people using the watch.

      Is talking feature useful if the person is in a workplace like setting and doesn’t have earpods? Won’t others hear the talking and you’ll be prompted to get the phone anyway?

        Not while at work. It’s basically the same thing as using a speakerphone.
