Laundry
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
All the time. Usually for cooking
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“
Baking mostly. I have double oven so use my microwave timer for the top oven and watch for bottom.
Usually to time things.
I have a terrible memory, so I use the timer (and reminders) for a lot of things, during work out, cooking, laundry, how long to steep my tea, naps etc.
Sprinkler
Soft boiled eggs and pressure cooker :)))
I used to when I was working (for lunch breaks) but now that I'm retired hardly ever. I'd also occasionally use it for parking meters but since I moved to Mexico I don't think I've ever even seen a parking meter so the answer it pi hardly ever use it.
Rest between sets
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...
Laundry
Consistent dab temperatures
I use it when I’m at the gym for rest periods
Use it for cooking all the time, mostly hard boiling eggs. 🥚
Yes a lot! Cooking, exercising, and not missing important meetings due to being distracted by whatever's interesting.
Laundry. 45 minutes per cycle. Works great for me.
Power Nap Timer
I use it all the time for steeping cups of tea.
Boiling eggs 😌
When im cooking..
dying my hair
brushing my teeth
cooking
etc
Every day for tea.
I use it to make sure I get a 2 minutes for both top and bottom teeth. Yes I double the time..
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.
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”
When I’m deep frying at home lol
i set a laundry timer with siri
I use it for rest periods in between sets at the gym.
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.
Steeping tea and timing various cooking times
Laundry cooking for the most part..
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.
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.
Cooking or if I want to check something after a certain time frame.
BBQing on the Traegar mostly. Also for steaks - set timer 7 minutes...
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
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.
Cooking. I’m a housewife, and I love cooking in general, so I use it for staged timers while cooking.
I work in a lab and sometimes have to do timed experiments or incubations. Incredibly helpful as it doesn’t disturb anyone but me
Cooking, mostly.
I set a timer on my phone but let it ring through to my watch. The interface for setting a watch timer suuuuucks
Lunch break timer, laundry
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.
Everything! But I mostly set timers on my phone since you can use multiple timers at once, and label them.
Loading barley in our feed tanks . Saves me from going up and down a ladder to see how much is in the tank.
Naps and planks.
Grilling steaks.
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!!
