Might help you to talk to people you meet who are wearing them. I've worn one since early on and I find it to be incredibly useful to make sure I don't miss any notifications. I used to miss them while walking around because my phone buzzing in my pocket isn't always noticeable.

Yes, I don't know anyone who owns one and actually wears it, that's why I'm asking here :-)

Fair enough! And I'll fully admit my personal reason probably doesn't apply to too many other people, it's just a function of my jeans not being tight enough. Or something.

It's really true that everyone is different, I spend most of my efforts in trying to _mute_ notifications...

Indeed, I've had to be fanatic in using all of the various tools to limit notifications.

well, see i’m kind of the same.... i use it as a triage device for what to ignore, rather than having to deal with everything by pulling out the phone
