Apple Watches have a cool Walkie-Talkie concept that could have worked well for this scenario.
I call it a concept though because the app as-implemented is unreliable and gets stuck in "Checking availability," "Trying to reconnect" every time you launch it. If you lower your wrist while it is trying to reconnect the app gets suspended and starts again.
So imagine standing there for sometimes up to a minute with your wrist extended while the Walkie-Talkie app tries to reconnect, all to hypothetically save time. It isn't workable. Which is a real shame because great concept on paper.
- mikestew 5y agoIt's a feature used once and then disabled. It seemed cool back when we got our Watch 4s, but as pointed out, it seemed like someone's side project that somehow made it into production. Turns out, you could have just called in less time.
