Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Martian Notifier. I have received a product sample, however, all opinions are my own.

As busy mamas and papas, our hands can be quite full throughout the day. Staying connected can be a difficult task when working from home. The children need your attention, as does the house and your spouse.

As a stay at home mama who also works from home, I need to be connected at all times because a matter of minutes can mean a missed opportunity. I cannot afford to miss paying opportunities because they are the bread and butter that allow me to stay home with my children.

But I also cannot necessarily sit by the computer or my phone all day long waiting. The latest in wearable gadgets and gizmos are watches that are synced via Bluetooth to your cellular phone and provide you with notifications. The new Martian Notifier watch allows you to receive important notifications from 1000’s of applications, including text messages, caller id, calendars and so much more!

If you have the same kind of luck that I do, then you can usually find your phone ringing from a different room while you have your hands full in the middle of a feed or changing a diaper. I have missed far too many important calls like this because I would completely forget the phone had even rung and never return the call until it’s too late. With a tap of the watch glass you can either dismiss the notification or recall it for up to 5 minutes after it was received. Never forget to return a call again!

Can’t find your phone? I lose my phone at least five times a day. Wouldn’t an out of range alert be awesome? Well you’ve got it! The Notifier will even help you locate a misplaced phone.

Imagine knowing who is calling simply by looking at your wrist? You can also get social media, bank, news headlines, email alerts and more. Worried that your wrist will never stop ringing? No need to fret because the Martian Notifier allows you to filter your alerts and only allow important notifications to show on your watch.

I preset all the notifications on my phone to alert me with different ring tone patterns to distinguish emails from texts, calls and so forth. It helps by letting me know whether the incoming alert is urgent or not. The same can be done with the Notifier. You an create a customized vibration pattern for each notification type, so you know what is coming in without even looking down at your watch.

My phone battery barely lasts through the morning when I am working. The Martian Notifier has a long-lasting battery with up to 6 days of use time and charges in just 2-3 hours, helping to preserve my phone battery for when I need it most. The analog watch battery is separate and will run for up to 2 years. The hand dials are glow in the dark for night-time reading.

Another neat function is the ability to remotely control your smartphone’s camera. You can snap a picture or activate a three-second timer to compose a group picture, including you. No more awkward or blurred shaky hand pictures. Snap away and look great doing it.

Papa used the watch for a week too and loved it. Being that he works at a hospital, he is constantly being called and emailed to resolve issues that arise. Having the ability to look at his wrist to decipher the urgency of the notification without having to stop what he is doing has been great. The last thing he wants to do is pick up his phone unnecessarily with germ filled hands.

With Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology, the Martian Notifier is ideal for those that have their hands full or need to keep their eyes on the road. Customizable bands in a snap! Switch out your current band with colorful bands in under one minute with no tools required! Additional bands sold separately.
