The Apple Watch has been on my radar for a while now. As a 40-something with three young kids, a full-time job and house that no matter how much I clean never seems to look any tidier, I need all the organisational help I can get. Also a regular gym-goer, I've been after a device to track fitness and, ideally, monitor my cycle and symptoms that hint strongly I'm either in or rapidly approaching perimenopause.
Already taking a top spot in our round up of the best fitness trackers for women, I was sure the Apple Watch had everything I'd want in a smartwatch. However, the high price tag and uncertainty as to whether it would add any real value to my life made me hold off on buying one.
