I have a MiBand which for me is primarily a regular watch with notifications.
I haven’t used audio notifications or ringing on my phone for years. I can also just allow the most important apps, while the less important notifications I’ll see just on my phone when I unlock it, unless I blocked those notifications too.
Currently this means I get SMS notifications (mostly useful for verification codes / package pick-up codes), Lemmy reply notifications (and few other e-mails), bank notifications (like payments), phone battery charged (80%) notification, and notifications of upcoming space rocket launches with webcast available (within 10 minutes).
My phone doesn’t make a sound, it doesn’t light up the screen, it doesn’t show notifications on lockscreen, it doesn’t vibrate, it doesn’t use notification LED. The smartband is a replacement.
