I questioned the use of the watch on release as well. I haven't worn a watch in 20 years. I recently received the Garmin 920xt. It has notification ability as well as fitness tracking. So for about a week I wore it all the time. They had a recall on the first run batch of this watch, so I mailed it back to garmin for replacement on Friday. So at work the phone is on vibrate, and prior to the watch, I would check it periodically. With the watch, a simple innocuous glance at my wrist and I could see if anything needed attention, or if it was just my turn at words with friends. Sometimes on a busy night, I wouldn't check my texts for hours, and see a text from my wife that needed attention. Now the garmin is a very basic notification device, this no replying, or generation of messaging is possible. I did find it to be very convenient. So now that I am waiting for the replacement, I find I really miss it. Interestingly I only had it for about a week. So I became very used to getting messaging on my wrist in a very short time. I think that it will be a very popular product, but may take some time to build a following. But the more people that wear them, the more people will where them.

Watch is really starting to grow on me. I like the look of the watch faces, the payments option looks very handy, and I really love how you can view notifications by glancing at your wrist. Plus it seems like a good way to keep track of your activity level.
