This is a great watch that can help your child remember to do things. It was designed for kids with ADHD, but it is very applicable for ASD as well. It can be customized to your child's needs. We used it to help our son independently toilet train. He would often forget to go the bathroom when he was involved in his favourite activity. We set the watch to vibrate every hour and it would say "bathroom" on the watch screen. This also reduced any battles when we would ask him if he had to go the bathroom. It also taught him how to tell time. Thus, we could say to him "time to clean up at 10:00am" and he would monitor his watch and immediately clean up his toys. A few other examples of its uses could be: leaving for school, meal time etc.
