Totally agree with you. Iโve had a couple times where Iโm tempted to get one but always talk myself out of it. Iโm already addicted to my phone enough as it is. A smart watch would just totally mess me up.
I actually find that I use my phone less when I'm wearing my smartwatch than when I'm not. When notifications come in, I need to make sure it's not work related or something else that requires my immediate attention. If I check a notification on my phone, I'm much more likely to end up doing something else at the same time. Whereas if I check my watch, I don't have any incentive to do anything else.
I'm the same way, I have only a few apps allowed to push to my Garmin, and it's helpful to be able to archive or delete a useless email or know there's something worth taking my phone out for. I find myself leaving my phone in other parts of the house is more focus-friendly since I'm not getting distracted while able to keep my eyes out for work-related items.
