The Principles Of Wearable Etiquette
The Verge, Wednesday, March 27th, 2024
First adopters are ambassadors for the future. Glassholes need not apply.
On my wedding day, I took off all my wearables.
I had many reasons why. I didn't want any distractions. It seemed ridiculous to squeeze in a workout on my big day just to keep my streaks going. As a wearables reviewer, I didn't want to bring work to my wedding. Plus, there wasn't a strap in the world that would've camouflaged the Apple Watch or whatever other tracker I was testing. I didn't want my Oura Ring memorialized in my wedding photos, either. So I left everything on their chargers.
I didn't think too hard about it until the other week when I saw a Threads post.
