I was surprised when I moved to using a fitbit (got one for super cheap) and even that was able to show me my notifications from my phone. I also recently changed my phone to a z flip 4 which has a screen when its closed that shows me my notifs. Gotta admit, I spend a lot less time on my phone when I can tell what notifications are important without opening or looking at my phone. permalink fedilink source parent
