I thought the LED on my watch was a gimmick feature - but it's been a great tool for our newborn.
I bought my Garmin Instinct 2X for the trails, but it’s currently my MVP for the nursery.
I used to think the built-in LED was gimmicky, but it’s been a game-changer for 3 AM bottle runs and diaper checks.
The red light mode is perfect for seeing what I’m doing without waking up the whole house, and being totally hands-free is a massive plus when you're juggling a newborn gremlin
Beyond the light, having dedicated timers and haptic alarms on my wrist has kept me on track better than my phone ever could.
Thinking about putting it on the baby's ankle to see what kind of 'mileage' she gets during a crying fit /j
What’s one piece of 'normal' gear you own that turned out to be an essential parenting tool?
