It is most certainly not a waste of time! According to a recently published article [1], researchers managed to crack ATM PINs with 80-percent accuracy on the first try using the motion sensors on smartwatches.

Which is why I largely like randomized touch screen number pads. They may be able to tell where I touched, but not what I touched.

However, Google Glass or Microsoft Holo type applications become a somewhat hilarious much better way of doing this.
