Whether this will be useful all rests on the quality and differentiation of the haptic feedback. For example, imagine walking down the street towards your destination and feeling the right side of the watch vibrate to signal that you should

Stop. "Weak Men Are Super Weapons" is truly worth a read. It's not one-sided, it doesn't pick fights and it's quite fair to both sides. Smearing language on a subset of a group can rapidly cause long-term smearing o
