#Every supermarket needs an Apple Watch app

#Every supermarket needs an Apple Watch app

These last months, I’ve been on an Apple Watch journey. While I’ve played with the wearable before, this is the first time I’ve ever actually owned one, and — as sad as this sounds — it’s actually changed my day-to-day life? I can’t believe I wrote that? God help me?

Before we dive into that, I’ve got an announcement. Nay, a proclamation: every supermarket needs an Apple Watch app. This is the word, and the word is good.

Let me explain.

I’ve written about it here, but because I wear my Apple Watch around 23 hours a day, it’s consistently telling me what to do. This involves getting me to breathe, stand up, or exercise. Effectively, it’s my robotic buddy and I’m its fucking dog.

Yet it’s not just health benefits the Apple Watch gives me. One of its positives it how it operates like a mini phone. For example, you can sync up music, audiobooks, or podcasts with it. You can use Apple Pay without an iPhone. And, because my Apple Watch isn’t cellular, it feels great being cut off from instant messages and phone calls, while still having access to some vital functions.

This has meant it’s far easier for me to just pop out to the shops without taking an array of stuff with me. But this is where I bump into an issue: there aren’t many supermarket Apple Watch apps.

Up until the beginning of the pandemic, I wouldn’t have given a solitary fuck about this. But I don’t think I’m alone in having developed far more interest in grocery shopping this year. I mean, what else is there to do apart from eating and crying?
