One benefit here seems to be telling other people when they can expect you awake again (as the timer seems to be visible on the outside).

That was something we heard repeatedly from our Kickstarter backers.

...I have exactly 8 minutes and 20 seconds to get that watch off of your wrist and into my pocket.

I know this isn't a real concern but it was the first thing I thought when I saw the timer.

For sure it can be a downside as well. Of course, napping in situations where it might be a downside probably wouldn't be wise in the first place (... and maybe they could build in a proximity sensor?)
