Cooking and working out (circuit training)
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
I use it for timers and used to use it to time my breaks.
While mixing cement products
Cooking and beer cans in freezer. I go “timer for beer, 25 minutes”, Siri confirms “timer for dear”, “timer for bear”, “timer for brear”, “timer for beear” 99% of the time.
For resting maximum one minute per set during workout
Cooking. Setting an alert for when a task will be completed on an idle game.
I use it all the time for steeping cups of tea.
I’m a teacher so I use it all the time for timing things that I want the children to do like writing, reading, taking down homework or group work! So handy!!
I have two.
I’m bariatric so I can’t drink 30 minutes after I eat. So I have one for that.
Then I have a water goal I have to meet. I have a 5 minute timer to remind me to drink water.
Consistent dab temperatures
Planking.
Usually to time things.
I use the timer a lot. 1) at work when im doing experiments and i need to come back and check on them frequently. 2) to time naps during my lunch break. So i use the timer every day. Also when cooking.
I’ll put 1 soda in the freezer per day for an hour (I don’t keep the fridge stocked of soda otherwise I will drink way too many). I use the timer every day to remind me to take it out so I don’t have a giant mess to clean up lol
Laundry cooking for the most part..
I use it for rest periods in between sets at the gym.
Yes a lot! Cooking, exercising, and not missing important meetings due to being distracted by whatever's interesting.
I use it when I’m at the gym for rest periods
Laundry. 45 minutes per cycle. Works great for me.
Making my coffee immersion style using a Hario Switch daily. Usually 1-3 other times a day when I need a one off alarm that nags more than a reminder or calendar alert.
Boiling eggs 😌
All the time! Plus the reminders app on it. Nice to be able to tell Siri to remind me of something and the watch vibrates and reminds me.
Cooking. I’m a housewife, and I love cooking in general, so I use it for staged timers while cooking.
When I’m deep frying at home lol
Loading barley in our feed tanks . Saves me from going up and down a ladder to see how much is in the tank.
Grilling steaks.
I use it when cooking - mainly when I use the grill. Always giggle when I tell Siri to label the timer “Flip brats” and it gets set as “Flip brotz”
Cooking or if I want to check something after a certain time frame.
Rest between sets
Everything! But I mostly set timers on my phone since you can use multiple timers at once, and label them.
I used to use it a lot for cooking, but since Apple added the Dynamic Island on the iPhone which puts the timer visible without having to leave most apps, I’ve started using my iPhone for that more.
I do still use my Watch timer for naps at work, though. The vibrating alert is perfect without bothering others.
Tea, 5 min timer for my drip coffee vessel to mostly finish dripping, toasting poptarts, toaster strudels, garlic bread, toast etc to perfection.. Laundry, my aquarium’s water conditioner working (takes 10 min) and probably most important, a 1 hour timer after I finish a meal while drinking soda or Coke, so I make sure my enamel isn’t soft and it’s safe to brush my teeth.
All the time. Usually for cooking
Every day. Cooking, laundry, and the sanitizer for my baby’s bottles.
Being able to glance down and see how much time I have until one of those things is finished is great.
Naps and planks.
When im cooking..
breaks. cooking.
Lunch break timer, laundry
Power Nap Timer
dying my hair
brushing my teeth
cooking
etc
I work in a lab and sometimes have to do timed experiments or incubations. Incredibly helpful as it doesn’t disturb anyone but me
Every day for tea.
Steeping tea and timing various cooking times
Breaks at work, setting the backroom sinks, remembering my tea, or whip cream prep, cooking at home, workout stuff that doesn't require the workout app...
Golf referee here… I use the timer(s) to time ball searches, and the stop watch to time players when they are ‘on the clock’ for playing slowly.
Every day, mostly for cooking.
Laundry
That is one of the few apps I am actually using on my Apple Watch. I use it all the time e.g. timer for „Lüften“
for keeping track of my 15 and 30 minute breaks at work
