For me the problem with smart watches is that they're not independent devices. If you have to carry a phone anyway, what's the point in an accessory to the phone which duplicates the functions on a smaller screen?

The only use I found for the ones I've tried was glancing at text messages rather than taking out the phone, but even that let's people more easily interrupt me...

Being a user of a six plus, where getting my phone out of my pocket can be an issue, the convenience of having it on my wrist is huge. Just not huge enough to currently overcome the inconveniences.
