The introduction of an official <em>Reminders<\/em> app on the Apple Watch in 2016 was a very good piece of news, just because this little app added to the watch will help you keep track of all the events and get through all your errands throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The <em>Reminders<\/em> app is used with Siri since there is no keyboard to input text on the Apple Watch like there is on your iPhone. People who tried the <em>Reminders<\/em> app say that in the beginning using the <em>Reminders<\/em> app may feel a little awkward, but the sensation will go away shortly and the app will become a second nature to you in no time at all.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_to_Set_Reminder_App_with_Siri\">How to Set Reminder App with Siri<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Whenever you need to set a <em>Reminders<\/em> app, all you have to do is launch Siri either by saying Hey Siri into your Apple Watch&#8217;s microphone or by pressing and holding on the <em>Digital Crown<\/em> of your watch. Once you activate Siri, you can ask Siri to remind you an upcoming event. For this, you can say something like, \u201cPlease remind me today in the evening that I need to buy flowers for my wife to apologize for yesterday&#8217;s refusal to help her with removal of snow form our yard\u201d. Now Siri will obediently jot down your request directly into the <em>Reminders<\/em> app. If you designate an exact time in your reminder, the time will show up in the scheduled list as well as in your reminders list. It is also perfectly possible to tap on any reminder that appears in a list to mark it as completed.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_to_Add_Reminders_to_Specific_Lists\">How to Add Reminders to Specific Lists<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Using Siri you will find that this lady (we also treat Siri as a very nice lady) is smart enough to add reminders to specific lists in your Reminders app. For example, if you have added a list named \u201cCruel Neighbors\u201d, you can easily jot down neighbors -related reminders under, and then you can tell Siri to put the reminder on that list by saying something like, \u201cRemind me tomorrow at 6 p.m. on my Cruel Neighbors list to go tell them the last time not to throw over the fence to my yard the snow they remove from their yard.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Reminder_Notifications\">Reminder Notifications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You already know that when it comes time to be notified of a reminder you have set, your watch will alert you of your reminder by tapping subtly but noticeably on the wrist. It lets you either snooze the notification, mark it completed, or dismiss the notification. Apple was clever enough to add a very useful functionality for the occasion: indeed, any time you make changes to the <em>Reminders<\/em> on your Apple Watch, whether you\u2019re responding to any notification or decide mark a notification as completed in the app, the changes will be immediately synced over to your other devices automatically.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Reminders_App_and_Force_Touch_Gesture\">Reminders App and Force Touch Gesture<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The <em>Reminders<\/em> app also plays with the <em>Force Touch<\/em> gesture. Whenever the user is in any list from their\u00a0<em>Reminders<\/em> app, the user can press firmly on the display to reveal a button for showing or hiding all your completed reminders. Let&#8217;s say in conclusion that the <em>Reminders<\/em> app in watchOS 3 is really functional, and we are quite sure that the future watchOS updates will include new capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Links\">Links<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Sell your old Apple Watch for fast cash. iGotOffer buys old electronic watches for the highest price on the online market &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/wearable\/apple\">trade in Apple Watch<\/a>.
