Apple managed to successfully force-meme the Apple Watch because it is Apple (I'm honestly not sure what the use case is supposed to be, is it still health?). But the market never got close to smartphone universality, and non-Apple smartwatches are basically nonexistent.

Another one of my coping mechanisms is researching the things causing me anxiety. Even impending WW3 is less stressful to me if I understand the mechanisms of how it could happen. This is not great for those around me because I have a tendency to talk about what I'm researching 😅
