I'd like to stress how important these two things are. I've been wearing an Apple Watch since launch in 2015, and my personal experience has been incredible. I've whittled down my actual phone use at home to next to nothing. Between the AW and a HomePod, picking up my phone is a rare occurrence. The only notifications I get are via SMS or iMessage, and calls via phone or FaceTime. I don't mean to sound like a fanboy, as I imagine a similar setup can exist with an Android phone as well. By curbing my phone use at home, I rarely feel compelled to pull my phone out while with friends and family. I imagine this is more difficult for those who are tapped into social media a great deal, but I think starting to curb use at home can set a precedent to disconnect with your phone and it will bleed into your life outside of home. A smartwatch is a great way to instantly curb checking your phone by putting (important)notifications on your wrist.
