Minimize interruptions

A constantly buzzing phone is annoying enough, but a constantly pulsing device against the skin goes way beyond annoying. If they get too many notifications, users will switch them off or start removing apps.

You can prevent this by minimizing interruptions in the following ways:

• Minimize the number of notifications. Wearable devices are generally tailored to serve specific needs. So, the amount of information your app provides your users should be limited too. Avoid sending repetitive notifications frequently and show respect for your users' time.
• Keep notifications relevant. It requires research to understand what notifications users find helpful but it's key to your app's success.
• Allow customizing notifications. Sometimes, even valuable notifications may seem distracting. Allow users to control notifications and configure their timing, frequency, and type.
