Ziiner comments on Has the Apple Watch improved your life? Or is it just a hedonistic luxury for you?

When I wear my watch I pick up my phone less. Less time is spent on tasks and there is less opportunity to get lost on a social media app.

I get that. But then you are never really disconnected. Do you wear the watch everyday?

Not OP, but it really depends on your lifestyle. I need to be connected most of the time because of my job and in case of family emergencies.

Before wearing an Apple Watch, I'll need to take out my phone to look at the notification and determine if it's important. By doing so, I may unlock the phone and do something else as well.

But with the apple watch, I'll glance at my wrist for the notification and see if it's important. If it's not important, I'll dismiss the notification and continue with whatever I'm doing. I'll only take out my phone to respond if it's truly important or require immediate attention.

Just this aspect makes me still be available for the important stuff but can put down/away my phone more often.

Same. If I’m wearing my watch, I’ll actually leave my phone in another room. If I get an urgent call or text either from work or my mother, I’m reachable, but otherwise I’ve tailored the notifications so that only things I really need to know about when they happen will chime on the watch, and the rest I just see when I go back to my phone. Definitely has made an improvement
