Regular watch
I currently have a smartwatch but I don't like how I can't prevent it from getting my text and phonecalls which I find useless because my phone is on me 95% of the time. The only way is to keep it on Do Not Disturb. It also for some reason has trouble updating, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I just want it to tell time without all the fancy annoyances.
If you really want it to just tell the time you can turn off the Bluetooth. It'll stop getting notifications
I take that back. I remembered I also wanted to track my heart rate. It's pretty ridiculous I can't simply disable notifications without turning off bluetooth.
Turning off bluetooth is just one option. You absolutely can set all notifications to only go through your phone. I don't know your exact set up but I am certain that is possible and likely not too difficult
