FOMO and gamification are terrible, evil things – which, in my case, happen to work wonders. Waggle a digital trinket in my general direction and I’ll dutifully perform a task I otherwise might have avoided. Learning a language? Sure. Tinkling some ivories? Done. It’s possible that if Reminders dished out stupid gold stars when I completed a job, I’d blaze through deadlines at such terrifying pace I’d have to source a new keyboard every few days due to over-exuberant key-smashage. But this wasn’t always the case with Apple Watch rings, because they married FOMO and gamification with the stern inflexibility of a Victorian headteacher wearing an angry expression, holding a book marked RULES, and having a worrying glint in their eye.
