Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu?
DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 2 months agoFor me personally, I want to limit interactions with my phone by reading notifications on my wrist, only allowing certain apps to send notifications through, and maybe sending a quick reply through the watch if needed.
That said, most smart watches now are overcomplicated bloat, it’s all been downhill since the Pebble Time IMO

That just sounds like interactions with your phone but with extra steps.

Nah, there’s a fair bit of legitimacy in wanting to minimize how often you pull out your phone. If you can’t ignore notifications (i.e. devops) it’s nice to be able to check them without getting the full device out.

Yeah, exactly. A buzz in my pocket, pull out the phone, see a bunch of different distracting stuff vs glance at my wrist, know it’s a casual message from a friend I can respond to later or in rare cases, something I need to deal with immediately. It’s a lot less mental energy
