I bought the Apple watch to experiment with WatchOS - however, now I find myself promoting / apologising to my friends that also have a keen interest in watches. It's all I wear these days.

If Apple can displace the swiss watch I used to wear from my wrist, they're moving in the right direction in my opinion.

The question is - does anyone really need a watch when they have a phone in their pocket? No.

However, do I feel properly dressed if I go out without a watch? No.

It is far easier to glance at your watch than it is to pull your device out and turn the screen on turn it off and put it away. Neither is hard but I can check the time in 1/2 a second while doing other things rather than 4-5 seconds and interrupt what I'm doing.
