I think I do a pretty good job, and this makes it even easier. \u00a0If I get a text or phone call, I can just glance down and either take the call, read the text, or ignore. \u00a0I don&#8217;t have any social media apps or my mail loaded on the phone, and I plan to keep it that way. \u00a0One feature that is perfect for me is finding my phone. \u00a0I misplace my phone all the time, and now I just tap a button and it pings and or lights up. \u00a0This has already come in VERY handy. \u00a0Plus, a few times during naptime, Mom will call and I don&#8217;t know where my phone is located.\u00a0 Now I can answer the call on my watch and talk till I find my phone. \u00a0I also like the call feature since we do not have a landline.\u00a0 I now have a phone on me. \u00a0Another feature I have really enjoyed is the GPS on the watch. \u00a0When I am driving, I get a little vibration which is my indication that it is time to turn. \u00a0Such a great feature. \u00a0I still can&#8217;t believe I have this watch, and love it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-35551 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/The-Bachelorette-691x1024.jpg\" alt=\"THE BACHELORETTE - Rachel Lindsay, a fan favorite on the 21st season of ABC\u2019s hit romance reality series \u201cThe Bachelor,\u201d starring Nick Viall, was named as the next woman to hand out the roses and attempt to find her own happy ending when \u201cThe Bachelorette\u201d premieres for its 13th season, MONDAY, MAY 22 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network.
