It’s funny because for me a smart watch is the perfect compromise - you still get a bunch of the useful features of a smartphone like navigation, timers, a calculator, music, Apple Pay, etc but with none of the really damaging web-based attention black holes.

I often go out with only my watch, and it feels so freeing to have only the good side of technology accessible.

I am very strict with the notification settings, otherwise the constant buzzing on the wrist would be worse than a phone.
