I tried using only my Apple Watch for one week
In this video I quit my phone for 1 week, and it changed my time management for the better. I went one week without using my smartphone, and instead only used my Apple Watch. Some time ago, I had the thought that I am entirely too dependent on my phone. It's the last thing I put down before bed and the first thing I pick up in the morning. With the utilization of "screen time" settings on the iPhone, it's really easy to see just how much time is being wasted on a daily basis. My screen time was way too high and I was looking to change that. So I took it upon myself to give myself a challenge - let's put away the phone altogether. With my Apple Watch, I could still send important messages, use maps to get to work, and listen to music or books, but could get rid of the constant distractions of always having my phone on me. No more social media at my fingertips. I wanted to learn not to just immediately go on my phone when I had free time or to fill the quiet, and it was actually a lot easier than I thought. I learned that I truly don't need my phone with me at all times, and lowered my screen time by about 90%. It was a weird adjustment but I'm happy to have challenged myself, and if you see that you need this too I urge you to try it.

I'd off myself if I couldn't distract myself from my thoughts. In fact while I'm sleeping almost every night my mind makes me deal with all the things I avoid so when I awake I'm devastated and super depressed I f'n hate it
Good video. Take attention to the ambient music, sometimes is too loud

It was a good mix of cameras. We used a Sony A7RV for the main static talking head. But mostly used a ZV-E10 and Insta360 Go 3 for the vlogging portions.

It’s the Insta360 Go 3!
Get a series 9
I use family setup because I don't have a phone.I do have a iPad though. I always use my Apple Watch for 1 week alone.
Get a s9 or even ultra 2 if you really wanna permanently go without the phone
What if you need to take a photo of something?

That’s a good question... take a mental picture maybe😂
Love this video! Found it while searching for people who use cellular Apple Watches to see if my purchase of the Series 8 cellular is justified for the extra cost. As a Christian, I loved hearing that you read The Bible. I saw your comment to someone saying you may upgrade from the SE. I had the first gen SE GPS only version and it lasted me two years. Then the screen randomly popped off due to the battery expanding. Having said that, Wal-Mart is selling the Series 8 41mm Cellular in silver for $299 brand new which is super rare of a price to find! Compared to the SE 2nd gen cellular which is only $249 brand new. Thought this would help you if you were deciding to upgrade 😊 I don’t use all the features the series 8 comes with (like always on display), but the extra 1mm bump up from my SE 40mm is nice, the fast charging is even better, and there’s a keyboard to text better though a little cumbersome at times. Subscribing to your channel! Sorry this is so long 😅

I enjoy long comments, haha! I think a cellular version could be really beneficial for me, as I had to carry around my phone with me everywhere for this, and I would love to be able to ditch my phone completely at times to minimize distractions. I also could really use a keyboard😂 messaging was so hard! I’ll have to look into those options, thanks for watching!

@@KodyandMeg I meant to ask…Because I don’t think you mentioned it…Was your AppleWatch the first or second gen SE? And what size is it? As a runner and gym goer, I would love nothing more than to not have my phone on me! Especially for running…Wearing an arm band was problematic bc it normally pops off 9 out of 10 times while running. Or having a cellular watch for the gym to not get distracted with social media etc. Talk to text was SO annoying as well on the SE. I hated it! Oh, and I meant to mention that Wal-Mart also has the Series 8 44mm in midnight for $229 😊 I applaud you for dedicating a week to do this video! I too want to bump down my on screen time so I will sacrifice spending a little more for a cellular plan for the convenience and (hopefully) a much healthier life. Looking forward to you the videos!

@@MatthewVlossak I believe I have the first gen and in the smallest size it came in! Talk to text worked okay for me in the beginning but recently it’s been so bad for some reason. It hardly gets the message right. Less dependence on my phone is the goal, so I have been considering a cellular plan as well!
