I Need A Recommendation For A Smart Watch

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Wappingers Falls, NY

I am in the market for an apple watch- mainly because when my phone rings I tend to freeze up and can't get to my phone in time and my husband worried when I miss a call.

I also know that there are a few Parkinson's apps that could really help me too.
Does anyone have a recommendation for which one to get?

KIMP, good question. Thanks for asking it. I haven't made the move to an apple watch. I was able to change the time to answer a call under settings on my phone because my family and friends also worry when I don't answer. I hope folks have great suggestions. for the watch.
