You're forced to deal with it. If you've set an alarm, it's going to interrupt your work, or don't set the alarm. If every social media message is going to your watch, laptop, or phone you either learn to ignore them (making real alarms useless) or you have a focus mode that only passes on the ones you want (from close family?). If you mean having a big current time, calendar, etc home screen, then I agree AR would be different, and more transparent unless you're actively using it. It's going to have to be, because power consumption for a display bright enough you can see it outside is going to be a big weight/runtime issue.
