Semi-related, I've found this one of the primary reasons I wear a smartwatch. My phone now generally remains on silent 99% of the time, as does the watch. It's pretty easy to miss a vibration when a phone is in a pocket or on a table somewhere, but having a vibration on my wrist is almost always noticeable.

The few times I do not notice a notification, I'll pick up up when just keeping an eye on the time.

Not having bings , boops, and rings surround my life has been a huge nicety -- Far more than I'd have expected. Highly recommend if someone wants to be 'notified reliably' but has the modern day sounds also drive them a bit nuts...
