It honestly frustrates me that so many of my friends and family can't fathom this. They're all on their phones 24/7 and can't seem to handle the fact that my job requires me to (from their perspective) ignore them for eight-to-ten hours a day.
Hell, back before mobiles it wasn't a problem to only call someone after hours, otherwise you'd get an answering machine.
- engi_nerd 8y agoI have done this, and also had to return a smartwatch that someone (very thoughtfully) gifted me, because I can't wear it at work. And if I can't wear it at work, it's not really going to be of enough use to justify keeping.
- King-Aaron 8y agoEh, I'd keep the smartwatch to be honest. I have a collection of nice watches, but only my G-Shock regularly comes with me to work because it's the only one I'd trust to survive the rough and tumble when I'm not in front of the computer. But it's nice to have a collection I think.
- engi_nerd 8y agoI collect watches and have a G-Shock for similar purposes. I don't need it for work because I'm in a pretty sedate environment, but I wear it to work sometimes because I just like it.
