Apple Watch.
Got a cheap early model second hand to see if they were worth it, eventually the battery failed and popped the screen out. Got a brand new one to treat myself after the pandemic and… the only part of the UX that doesn't feel bad is the main screen.
It's, at best, a laggy remote control for apps running on my phone, and I haven't even charged it in over a year now, let alone worn it.
the trick is to leave your phone at home, apple watch can help with screen time addition, while still giving you notifications/texting. otherwise, yeah useless
I avoid all apps that overload me with notifications in the first place.
I'm also currently experimenting with no credit on my phone, so I can recieve calls and SMSes only, not send any message or browse unless I'm near WiFi.
