How does a smartwatch get you to stop looking at notifications?
Before, I picked up my phone at every ping or vibrate.
When I wear the watch, all phone notifications are automatically muted and the watch is set to only notify a few apps (Whatsapp, phone calls, calendar). No emails, no kik, no games nothing.
Yeah but those notifications are still valuable, they just need to be dealt with on a daily basis not instanteously.
You can still do that with your phone
So it won't improve your life. Way to go.
It did mine, it was asked and I answered.
I turned off all notifications but calls, missing a lot of things, but well, I guess it's not that important if it's not a call.
Still not answering call though. I'm not a logical person
That's a very smart idea!
Besides the other answers, it trivializes them while making you put forth the tiniest effort towards one you might care about while you can discard the rest. The trick with phones isn't in picking it up to look, but rather on putting it back down.
