I find smart watches extremely frustrating and antisocial. At least for someone who intersects with others who wear the internal devices.
My boss will stop mid sentence because his watch buzzed.
I can see some uses, a female friend will run or exercise with her apple watch because it's easier to carry around but still allows calls for safety reasons.

Well, it’s the people who are antisocial, not the Watch…
My Watch is 100% silent and does not have notifications / vibrations (i disabled them.);
The exceptions are some Health related notifications, and regional/national alarm apps. But those are very rare to push notifications ( < 1 per month.)
