I don't "get" the "Watches save you from distractions" pitch at all. It only works if you're willing to ruthlessly pare down the notifications that you receive. (else your wrist buzz as much as your phone) And, further, you have to be ready to admit that most of the notifications that remain usually don't require immediate response from you. (else you'll just be wasting time trying to respond via watch, or pulling out your phone for a proper response) If you're in a place where these things can be, or are, true, you can change the settings on your phone and be done with it.
