5 professions where there is an unexpected benefit of smartwatches

Smart watches are becoming more and more popular and are spreading all over the world. With the rapid pace of technological development, they are becoming more accessible and include more features day by day.

While March still connects with avid tech lovers and fitness-tracking runners/joggers, the watches are reaching new demographics as well. Potentially extremely useful is the trend towards the use of wearables that monitor the condition of the elderly.

Smartwatches are ideal for tracking health, communicating with loved ones and much more. In addition, they are quite easy to wear while working.

That's why we chose to describe 5 professions where wearing a smartwatch is unexpectedly useful and can significantly improve efficiency and overall daily life.

Hairdressers

People who have taken up this profession know well how often they want to look at something quickly on the phone, but their hands are busy. The smartwatch allows quick access to social media, calendar, important emails, etc. right on our wrist. With a flip of the hand, you can quickly and easily see a notification or who missed a call.

Most smartwatches have a long battery life, making them a reliable companion device. With a few voice commands, you can change the music playlist in the salon or reserve an appointment for a client who has just entered. All this without having to stop the haircut of the client who is in the chair.

Doctors

Although most smartwatches are not made as stand-alone devices (they need a smartphone or other internet-connected devices to function), they are quickly gaining popularity and gaining more and more features. According to many experts, the health benefits and medical application of the devices could be the greatest.

Smart watches can monitor heart rate, sleep habits and physical activity. Then, as a patient, you can take this information and share it with your doctor. Thus, the doctor will receive valuable information about your health and even introduce changes in treatment that could improve your overall well-being. That's why more and more doctors are wearing smartwatches and setting an example for their patients. Doctors make more accurate diagnoses, and patients monitor and take care of their health.

* It is important to note here that the wearing of smart watches (bracelets, rings, etc.) is prohibited by some doctors, such as dentists.

Salespersons/cashiers

As incredible as it may seem, this technology is not a new concept. In fact, the original idea for smartwatches can be traced back to 1984. Since time immemorial there has been the desire of people not just to kill time, but to utilize it in some way. In professions such as sales-consultant or cashier, it is almost mandatory to spend most of the working day on your feet. Also be prepared for a customer to show up.

In reality, there is work during peak hours, and often the remaining time can be used to arrange items or ... click the phone. While constantly having your phone in your hand is disruptive and frowned upon by managers and customers, using a smartwatch is far more acceptable. Whether you're checking your messages on Messenger or reading funny tweets, you'll have a blast and won't be bored.

Waiters/Caterers

One of the main advantages of a smart watch is compactness and the ability to quickly look at the screen. This could be very useful in the work of waiters and caterers.

On the one hand, as already mentioned, it is far more acceptable to click on a watch (instead of a phone) when you are at work (if you have free time of course). On the other hand, communication can be greatly improved. In combination with a wireless headset, the connection to the kitchen or dispatch center of the delivery company can help to delegate work, distribute orders or indicate how to find a customer's address.

Journalists

A smartwatch can do almost anything your smartphone can do. One of these functions is to make a sound recording. This would be especially useful when taking an impromptu interview. We are not saying that the interlocutor will be secretly recorded, but that he would much more easily agree, because he would not have time to hesitate. You raise your hand, show a device and record. It will look more informal and friendly compared to using a voice recorder.

After work

No matter what you do, you can always benefit from a smart watch. Voice commands are convenient and easy to control smart devices and smart home. The watch serves as a control center.

You can turn your smart watch into home automation. This feature allows you to control electrical appliances, lights, garage doors and more using your smartwatch from anywhere. Once you've optimized all your smart devices and software, you can control your entire home using smartphones, smartwatches, and voice commands.
