Watch<\/a> to a simple analog watch and says life has become far calmer since the change.<\/p>\nIn a post on X (formerly Twitter), Dhillon explained that he had become \u201caddicted to constant notifications and calls.\u201d <\/p>\n
He said the smartwatch was distracting while driving, needed frequent charging, and even created awkward social situations, as people assumed he was in a rush or uninterested whenever he glanced at his wrist.<\/p>\n
Dhillon urged others to consider making the switch. \u201cA watch should be for telling time; we already have phones for notifications. Make the switch to an analogue watch-you\u2019ll feel calmer and better. Trust me!\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

X users reacted to the post by praising Dhillon for choosing simplicity over constant connectivity, with many saying they could relate to the stress of nonstop notifications.<\/p>\n
One of the users commented, \u201cSir, you are late to the party. I already stopped using digital watches, smart watches about 2 to 3 years ago, I believe..!!\u201d<\/p>\n
A second user commented, \u201cWe already have screens in our pockets, we don’t need one on our wrist too. Simple is definitely better. Enjoy the calm!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI use a digital watch with no internet or notification linkage, so it gives me exactly what a watch should: time, alarms, and basic utility,\u201d another user commented.<\/p>\n
