As someone with ADHD, I 100% agree about the watches.

Personally, I have an old Garmin and literally all I use it for is; telling the time; alarms; notifications of messages (Signal, WhatsApp, SMS, and that's it) and calls; and counting my daily steps. That's it. And that's all I need it to do.

If I had to take my phone out every time it buzzed with a notification, I'd lose at least 15 minutes to scrolling. Instead my watch buzzes, I see who the message is from, and then either take my phone out and reply/answer, or ignore it to look at later.

I've had an iPhone and Apple Watch in the past, and was never really able to work out much of a use-case scenario for spending that kind of money on one, but to each their own, I guess.
