Three reasons:
1- Scientific: Study of superheavy elements is related to the formation of elements in stars and ultimately to the origin of life.
2-Practical: Americium is a man made element which is used in
smoke detectors.
3-Nuclear energy: In theory once the island of stability is reached it should be possible to have smaller and more powerful mini nuclear-plants which could fit into a watch.
