As a wearables reviewer, I have the unique pleasure of testing devices across a range of brands, often bouncing my SIM card from phone to phone accordingly. This practice highlights stark contrasts in user experiences, especially when I learn to rely on a feature in one ecosystem only to find it missing in the next. The latest feature to stand out is the “device left behind” alert, which is available on some smartwatches but, unfortunately, not on Google’s Pixel Watch line.
I don’t consider myself an overly type-A individual. Yes, my closet is color-coded, and sure, every item I own has a “home” that I must return it to before bed each night… but I’m about as competitive as a sloth in a hammock. My only real ambition is to befriend all the neighborhood dogs. I’d say I’m Type-A minus: largely organized and disciplined but occasionally, perhaps detrimentally, laid-back. One area where my Type-B tendencies manifest most is my complete disregard for my smartphone.
