Comment on Progress
hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’ve worn a pebble smartwatch for a decade just to avoid all the annoying noises our phones make non stop. So i keep my phone on silent and I’ve got the pebble set to only get notifications for texts and calls neither of which i get a ton of on a daily basis. I like to be able to glance down and either ignore or pull out my phone and deal with.
I am also a big fan of leaving my phone in the other room and dont wear the pebble a lot on weekends just to get a break.

I’ve never had a pebble but they always looked great. If I wanted to go back to a smart watch but keep it more watch-like and less “tiny phone stuck to my body” then I’d be checking them out.
The benefit you described is one of the things that led me to wear one for so long. You get notifications silently yet they can be attention-grabbing (adhd sends its regards), and you can check them or the time or the weather without fumbling with your phone.
