Real reasons to get an Apple watch? (alien.top)

Hey all! I was wondering if I should buy an Apple watch. I don't need notifications, phone calls, or any other distractions. Receiving those will be even a minus for me!

I am interested if I'll get any real benefits to track different aspects of my health? Obviously, my iPhone tracks how many steps I am making every day.
Can you tell me what you track in the health section? And how your life really improved after started tracking this specific thing?

The alarm function is superior on a watch compared to iPhone - it vibrates on your wrist in the morning so it’s harder to miss but also silent.

For the notifications, why don’t you disable most of them and leave only the important ones? In my opinion it isn’t worth it to have a watch if you don’t have notifications on. Having them so accessible is like one of the main selling points. For me at least.

I seem to be doing something wrong with my alarm function. How can I set it to have multiple alarms in the morning, to function as a snooze? And sometimes it seems my phone still goes off, and my watch.. I’m missing something here.
