I'm thinking of getting a smartwatch just to test out your theory. I got one for my wife because she's always leaving her phone in her bag with the ringer off (or so low she can't hear it) and I can never reach her. So on the upside, the watch makes it so she gets my messages. On the downside, the watch makes it really annoying for her to reply so often she doesn't. So, while I despise the interruptions, I'm also sympathetic to the way my friends and family and coworkers feel. If they write me and I never respond, it makes them feel bad. And if it's something timely/important, it can cause real anxiety or problems.
