I very rarely use the phone so if it does ring it takes me a while to 
figure out what the noise is and how to make it stop. Sometimes I even 
manage to answer it. 

My usage:  a Fitbit app, a pedometer app, a geocaching app, and a Slack 
app for work. I recently added a GPS app to get the raw GPS data. I was 
mostly interested in elevation, as in how many feet of ascent did I do.
