How I turned my Apple Watch into a dumbphone (and why you should, too)
Briefly

As screen addiction rises, dumbphones—devices focused solely on calling and texting—are experiencing a surge in popularity, reflecting a growing desire for less distraction from smartphones. Models like the Lightphone and Minimal Phone are on the market, but their high costs raise questions about their practicality as a solution. Alternatively, smartwatches can also serve this purpose by enabling calls and texts independently, offering a way to reduce dependency on more feature-rich smartphones. Adopting this approach may help users focus and minimize distractions more effectively.
Smartphones' endless distractions have prompted rising interest in dumbphones as alternatives, as users seek respite from screen addiction, indicating a market shift.
Switching to a dumbphone or leveraging a smartwatch can significantly reduce screen time, allowing users to reclaim their focus and minimize digital distractions.
