Hey now it lets me know when I got a text message while my phone is on silent, counts my steps, and monitors how long I sleep. It also cost me like 40 bucks.

I put my phone on silent for a reason...

I honestly hated the feature that put my notifications on the watch when I briefly had a smartwatch. The wrist buzzing is far worse than having a sound or vibration on my phone. On my cheap watch, the sleep tracking was also laughably inaccurate.
