Both excellent posts for how this watch can be beneficial. I'm surprised that with so many apple users (who are known for being creative) reading this post, that they can't think creatively on ways to use this.
Remember, this is waterproof. The nano will not be waterproof and i'm not about to dip my nano in some protective coating to make it waterproof and void the warranty. Also, the nano plus wristband to convert it to a watch will not be this cheap.
Its also nice to be able to wash dishes, go jogging, take a quick shower at the gym, walk in the rain, work in the yard, wash my car, bathe my kids, or wash my hands without the fear of getting water on my watch. If i'm washing dishes and i want to know what time it is, right now i'd have to walk over to the microwave and look, yell out to my wife to tell me what time it is, or dry my hands and pull out my iphone. Sometimes i'll be playing music while doing things around the house. If i want to change tracks, i'll have to find a remote, or walk over to the iphone and hit a button. With this watch i won't have to dry my hands, or yell for my wife or look for a remote. Its all on my wrist.
I also need this watch because i always keep my phone in vibrate and in my pocket. I don't wear skinny jeans so i will often miss phone calls and text messages because i don't feel my phone vibrating. This is especially the case when i'm at work wearing slacks or khakis. This watch will minimize those occurrences.
Most of the time when i'm at home my phone will be on the couch, on a table or on a counter charging. I don't keep it in my pocket. I get way more text messages and emails than i do phone calls. If my phone is on a counter or away from me, Its always nice to be able to read a text message without having to get up from my spot or stop what i'm doing. If its urgent, and requires a response, i'll get up and grab my phone to respond. If its informative, rhetoric or non-urgent, its nice to know that without having to stop what i'm doing. I'll just get up and grab my phone when i'm free and respond then.
When i'm driving i get a text message or email and i want to know what it says or who it came from. Rather than grab my phone, unlock it, or worse punch in my unlock code, and risk getting a ticket or getting into an accident, i can glance at my watch and get the info i need safely.
I could probably go on. But then again, if you honestly cannot see an immediate need for this watch, and need someone to sell it to you, then its not for you. As for me, i took one look at the video and knew i had to have it.
