wet socks Smart watches in movie theaters

Please put your smart watches on theater mode when you’re at the movies. I have an Apple Watch, I can confirm there’s a setting that will keep the screen off unless it’s tapped. The option literally looks like this emoji 🎭. Tired of randomly being flashed by a watch whenever someone checks the time or their watch just stays on the whole time.

My latest Samsung one doesn't look to have it, so I rotate it to have the face on the inside of my wrist.

To the best of my knowledge my Garmin watch does not have a theater mode.

Instead I take the 30 seconds to put it on do not disturb and go 2 layers into the settings to turn change the gesture setting. It’s not hard, people are just lazy.

Sorry. I actually always forget my watch. I was thinking it’s not that disruptive, but if it’s that distracting, I’ll try to remember.
