Use It as a Timer and Kitchen Helper

A watch is often a better kitchen tool than a phone because it’s way easier to use when one of your hands is full. If your old Apple Watch still works well, it can become your dedicated cooking timer, tea timer, and quick reminder device while you’re in the kitchen.

That’s especially nice because it keeps you from reaching for your phone with wet or messy hands every few minutes. You can set timers, glance at them quickly, and move on. It’s a small, everyday use, but if you’re always trying something new in the kitchen, it’ll be incredibly useful.
