I was honestly hoping that’s where phones would go - watch for calls and standard phone stuff, tablet for anything big. Now I think there’s a place for glasses instead, and def for all the various things we do when standing around bored
Comment on Apple Watch Shipments’ Continuous Decline
thejml@lemm.ee 3 days agoIronically, owning a smart watch is what helps me keep focused. I can put my phone down and not be tempted to look at things on it. The watch will alert me if I get a call and only certain notifications go to it while my phone stays parked somewhere else in the house.
Honestly, I’ve been tempted to get an LTE one and stop owning a smart phone… the only thing holding me back is my job requiring one.

Or you could set this up on your phone. It sounds sort of nonsensical to say you need to focus and not be distracted by your phone while also finding a way to keep yourself distracted by your phone. Maybe try being without any of it and learn to exist apart from it instead of finding increasingly smaller devices to keep you connected at all times.

That would be awesome, and I regularly do so on vacations, but let’s be real here: I like having a job so I can have a house and food and pay for goods and services when necessary. Being constantly connected is a basic requirement and responsibility for employment, so I’m going to choose the connection with the least impact on my daily life.

Same here. Phone stays in my pockets and I can do all my timers, alarms, calculator, and reminders to leave for appointments. Especially useful while cooking.
