The added utility of a mindfulness reminder is fairly effective for a lot of people. The 'standup' reminders were a core component of the watch introduction by Apple.

True. I guess the idea is that the watch notifications are less disruptive to general life.
- kordless 11y agoI don't see anything wrong with a mindfulness reminder, but it doesn't take a screen attached to my arm to remind me to stand up and walk away from technology. The guys at Digital Detox recommend you keep screens and devices out of the bedroom for this reason, and to use an old fashioned alarm clock to remind you to do X at a certain time.
