Give it to an Older Member of the Family

Another good use for an old Apple Watch is to put its amazing health features to work for other family members.

Whether it’s your grandma, an uncle, or just a friend, you can use your old Apple Watch to ensure their health when you aren’t around. 

For instance, you can teach them how to use the heart rate sensor or the ECG app on the Apple Watch. Moreover, you can explain to them that they should aim to close all their Activity Rings to stay healthy in a fun way.

The Noise app can help people with hearing issues realize when their phone or TV is too loud, even if they don’t realize it.

When you aren’t around, the Apple Watch’s Fall Detection feature is also a literal lifesaver. If someone falls down and can’t get up, their Apple Watch can call for help in a flash — even if they’re knocked unconscious.

There are many more features they can use, such as medication reminders, mindfulness, and sleep tracking. All of these features will benefit them without you having to worry about them all the time.
