I bought a smart watch on Black Friday, after years of just relying on my phone. I mainly got it to wake up early by having my wrist vibrate with my alarm.
But the thing is that it feels very restrictive, as watches have always felt to me. I like my appendages to be naked as a jaybird, unfettered by social constructs like timekeeping.
Anyways, I'm constantly taking it of absent-mindedly when I am out and about -- in the car, at work, at the movies, in the mall, eating at restaurants. Then I only realize I took it of like hours later when I look down at my bare wrist and, if I don't find it in my pocket immediately, I have a panic attack that I left a $300 piece of machinery in a Nordstorm Rack dressing room or on the table at a Bushfire Grill.
So far, I have found it either in the center console of my car or it turns out I never even put it on before leaving the house and it is still on the charger at home.
One time, I realized I didn't have it on, skipped going to the next errand I was set to do with my gf, drove us straight home, freaking out, rushed up to our bedroom and didn't see it on the charger.
"That's it! I lost the damn thing! It's over! $300 down the drain!" I yelled down to my gf. Then I saw it had just fallen to the floor between the bed and the nightstand so I picked it up. "Nevermind, I've got it," I said as a follow-up, "Phew. That was lucky."
But it causes me a lot of anxiety nonetheless and Idk how you pals walking around out there with $3K worth of watch do it.
