Got it. I guess it's a different way to do certain things that you might like better, and you'll stick to it instead of your phone.
Doesn't it bother you to have to recharge it, though?
I think that's the thing a lot of people don't appreciate about various device form factors. Pretty much no one needs them but they're more convenient for certain things. I think this was also true of tablets when they first came out. (And as phones have grown in average size the relative advantages have shrunk.)
I don't personally use an Apple Watch. I have a Garmin Fenix that I don't use much. (I usually just wear a $30 Timex.) But I can see why people might like them.
It charges pretty quickly. Leave it on the charger while you're taking a shower in the morning, and you're set for the day.

Makes you wonder how Scoble ever found time to charge his Google Glass.
I also use it to control my music on my commute, or when I'm playing music while doing something around the house, and if I have to head into my bedroom, where the blinds are always down, I can tell it to turn on the corner lamp for me.
It's massively handy to have Siri on my wrist while cooking: What's half a pound in grams? Also, start a timer for fifteen minutes.
I don't have to carry anything else around with me everywhere. I can head over to the store to buy milk and bread, and I don't need to carry my phone or my wallet, even if I want to listen to music on the trip.
Where did I leave my phone? I'll ping it from my watch. Where did I leave my keys? I'll ping my tile from my watch.
And, y'know, you can do most of this from a phone, that's true. But I do it from my watch, and I quite like it that way.
