Apple needs no introduction, but lets talk about their smart watch, or the Apple Watch. Perfectly syncing with all other Apple products, this powerful accessory will be invaluable for anyone who is struggling to keep on top of the household schedule and remembering birthdays parties, appointments etc. Being able to set reminders for absolutely anything by just saying “Siri, remind me to…” is the ideal solution to the time consuming written to-do list. Always losing their phone or spending way too long digging in their handbag to check it’s in there before leaving the house? Just ping it off the watch for peace of mind or to discover which little angel has taken it to watch YouTube. Our top choice is the new Apple Watch Series 9 in Starlight. Not quite gold, not quite silver, its the perfect sophisticated colour that goes with any jewellery. We recommend having a day to day strap like the ones Apple offers and a more demur evening strap that wouldn’t be out of place at a dinner party like you can find at The Watch Strap Co.
