My mechanical watch tells me the time, and nothing more. It’s perfect.

I like having the date too

I love my Apple Watch Ultra ... but fitness/exercise is a huge part of my life these days. Notifications can be managed to be as little/much as desired. *My job is also managing Apple devices (MDM) at scale for work, so there's that.

@Giles I also like having a date, but on my daily driver, it's a no-date face and I've come to really enjoy its simplicity and the symmetry of it. I don't miss having a date on this particular watch, but when I wear one with a date window, I always appreciate it.

Yea I've definitely gotten over notifications. I've removed social media and all that crap from my phone. I also turned off all notifications from everything except calls or text messages. Most of my people know that if they want to get me quickest, just call me.

That's about where I was with the apple watches, though. I don't care about the health and sleep trackers, and only would really use it to quickly answer messages. I remember thinking it was going to be a game changer for listen to music, but I remember spotify being really clunky on it.

Want to send you notifications and wants to know location
Gets turned off straight away

Besides health/fitness (Athlytic app), my MVP apps are timers/alarms because I'm a busy OLD man.
