Fair enough.

>I hate the distraction. I hate the lifestyle.

How does the watch change either of these? My phone is always on mute and I practice a pull behaviour pattern with it (I choose when to look, answer texts, calls etc) rather than a push (distracting) pattern.

You have greater self discipline than i!

With the watch, It is comfortable to check a notification and quickly respond to it but not much else.

Not self discipline. I just turned off all notifications apart from whatsapp. Notifications are a terrible dark pattern in most apps.
