I find the Apple watch to be super annoying. Out of the box it reminds you to breath, stand up, go to sleep, etc. Like I was never able to do these things before by myself. Once I turned everything off it's a bit more reasonable doing the only things I really needed, which was to tell time and maybe let me know my pace when running.

IMO, getting any notifications (VPN included) on a tiny 1 inch screen are stupid and that's what I have a phone for.

It really sounds like you bought the wrong device.

Even Garmin's less expensive GPS watches would give you exactly what you wanted for half the price (maybe even less) of the Apple Watch and without the notifications.

I got the watch because I don't want to use my phone.
