    Can’t you curate your notifications? I mostly use my watch(Samsung) for health and sleep tracking, silent alarms, timers, some audio controls (though usually the headphones touch controls are enough) and important notifications like teams/calls while at work. I let it show me work email too, so a quick glance can tell me if I care, but I can definitely select which notifications but the watch and have a bunch blocked.

      Yes, but in the end I spent all this time disabling notifications, when I bought the thing to show me them… I just realized I don’t need that alert immediately and in fact led to me ignoring them since they became just another annoyance (phone, computer and watch all told me the same thing). It became a negative productivity tool.

        I probably called myself old as I am wont to do(in that intersection where people argue if you are an elder millennial or youngest gen x (1982 effectively)).
