Ex-Apple Engineer Stops Wearing Apple Watch

Ex-Apple Engineer Stops Wearing Apple Watch

Ray Fernando, who used to work on the Apple Watch team, recently stopped wearing the watch.

He said it helped him a lot in the past, especially with losing weight and staying active.

But over time, the watch started to send too many notifications and vibrations, which made him check his phone all the time.

This made him feel distracted and not present in his daily life.

He realized he didn't need the watch to track his walks anymore because he knows his body well.

Now, he values having mental peace and being present more than tracking everything with the watch.

He's not criticizing the watch but just sharing his personal experience.
