> Wear a smartwatch that displays critical notifications
I cannot stress enough how true this is.
When I am out and about, my watch frees me from pulling my iPhone out of my pocket. At face value this may seem irrelevant, since I glance at my watch just as much, but there is quite a staggering difference in these two behaviors. When I use my phone, I unlock with Face ID, open Notification Center, tap a notification, interact with an app, swipe home, check Twitter, and so forth. With the watch, I simply raise my wrist. If the unread indicator is lit, I explore. If not, no need to worry; I just lower my wrist.
- Markoff 8y agoiPhone can't show notifications without unlocking lock screen? not much different from looking at watch pressing one button when looking at phone
- css 8y agoMuch, much more difficult to get sucked into apps when using your phone than using your watch. It is not comfortable to hold your wrist up for very long, especially if you're doing more than glancing.
