confessions

i stopped wearing my apple watch 9 months ago. 

and guess what?

i still workout.
i still sleep normally.
i still get messages. 

i can even still tell the time. 

the one thing i do miss is the camera remote control. 

otherwise tho ... don't miss it one bit.

I have sometimes wondered if I’d have a better relationship to notifications if I didn’t wear my watch

what benefits have you found so far?

honestly just better focus. with the watch i constantly felt the need to check every message that came through. really distracting.

oh, also no farmer's tan hehe

but i do miss having it for adventures. still haven't found a really good work around to track my hikes & bike rides.

thank you for sharing!

I think you are validating my suspicions haha, maybe I should try a break from the watch.

can't hurt to give it a shot. reconnect if it's not working for you.

honestly i did it out of laziness. i paired my watch to a new phone then returned the phone and couldn't be bothered to re-pair with my old one 🙈

hahaha, that's also a totally valid reason.
