I purchased the new Apple Watch Series 4 a little over a month ago — and it’s made me into an Apple Watch believer.
The Series 4 is my first Apple Watch since I bought the original four years ago, and since so much has changed, I asked Business Insider readers to email me about their favorite features that I should try out. I’m pleased to say that I’ve since tried all of these features that were recommended to me.
Given how great so many of these suggestions were, I wanted to highlight my favorite responses from these proud Apple Watch owners.
Take a look at the best Apple Watch features, according to Business Insider readers:
Geo recommends Theater Mode.

From Geo:
"You’ve probably discovered Theater Mode by now, which keeps your Watch from glowing brightly in a darkened room, like a movie theater. I use Theater Mode on my Watch at night, because I wear the watch to bed to sleep track, and I don’t want to wake my wife up when I turn in the night, and the movement makes the Watch glow.
"So while in the theater, or in the bedroom, if you want to view the time but you don’t want the screen to come on full brightness, turn the digital crown very slightly, and it will raise the brightness on the screen slightly as well, giving you just enough light to view the time by, but not enough light to disturb other people."
Nancy recommends the Heart Rate Variability feature.

From Nancy:
"Check out the ‘heart rate variability’ measure in Apple Watch. You reach it through the Health app on your iPhone. It’s a way to get biofeedback on stress levels, including whether “Breathe” sessions are having a positive impact. HRV can be used as biofeedback in management of autoimmune and cardiac diseases where excessive inflammation is a contributor."
Gerardo recommends the remote camera function.

From Gerardo:
"You can control your iPhone Camera remotely from your Watch, see how the picture looks, and take it from your Watch.
"It is helpful when you do not have anyone else to take the picture for you and you want to be in it! 😉 I found out that this impresses people!"
Another reader, Thomas, adds that the Watch’s remote camera function has an optional three-second delay, "to avoid being seen looking at your Watch, if you are in the shot."
