I love my pebble time 2. I wanted a tide app for fishing -- there wasn't one for my country yet (Canada, there are some good US ones)... So I had Claude make me one and had it on my wrist in an hour or so. I think they did a really good job with the dev. process with this watch.

The design on this watchface is great, I've found myself going in the same direction but with a super dense more excel like custom watchface. Even "very busy" showcase while visually extreme is still legible and interesting.
It's been nice to have a small piece of technology that's designed to be this modifiable.

I don't really think a smart watch would add any value to my life, and I suspect that's actually true for most people that think otherwise, but I love the idea of custom watch faces. There are some really interesting and creative ones for pebble, that comic drop one the author links too is pretty sweet.

I have a fascination with the subject of smart watches - specifically, those I can hack on myself (i.e. no iWatch/Garmin/etc.) - so I have a collection of them .. a Watchy, an Oscilloscope Watch, the PineTime, numerous LilyGo ESP32 thingies, the M5Stick, and so on.
I don't ever wear them but I sure do love hacking on them, and they are the perfect platforms for exploring PlatformIO, FreeRTOS, ZephyrOS, and so on. I admit, its mostly just for hacking/exploration of embedded for that form factor, which is great. (I've also gotten paid jobs on the basis of that hacking, which is also great.)
Every now and then, though, I look at the pile of devices and think "I should probably track my biometrics, and try to work out how to get healthier with the watch as my primary bio- I/O tool", and I dig in .. its kind of fun to have a database of the last months heart rates ("see honey, I did enjoy our date last week"), step counts, and so on.
But I just can't comfortably work with a watch on my wrist, so I don't wear them.
For sure, I'm putting "make a custom watchface for the PineTime and Watchy" on my list of things to do next time I open that particular drawer of forgotten things ..

my pebble is finally almost on its way after ordering it 7 months ago. can't wait. the SensorWatch Pro board for the Casio F91w is also pretty neat.

I am sorry you have tough issues that seem to be related to ADHD. It is rough. Maybe try not to minimize what is hard for others, though.
