Smart watch wearers say that one of the reasons they sport a version of this arm jewelry 24/7 is that the device reminds them to remember to perform some essential daily duties, like waking up. Apparently hitting the phone snooze button one too many times has become more of a habit for many of us. One recent online magazine article addressed the issues faced in business world.

As the availability of some of the newest developments continue, businesses reported a common problem that is surfacing throughout the workplace

Maybe the inventors of this feature had a problem with waking up, so the possibility of finding someone to take mother’s place was important to them. Who knows? It is one solution to a modern day problem.
