Do more? It has more capabilities than most utilize on a daily basis with the Watch. I have never been left 'Wanting more'. What else are you expecting it to do? Not to mention the amount of third party applications that contribute to functionality.
Also, Apple does charge a high dollar, but it's hard to rival the quality of the Apple Watch, at least from the stainless model I Own.
Don't forget that Apple Watch is also backed by superior customer service AND accessories (Apple and 3rd party) that no rival can come close to matching.
Weird how critics criticize Apple Watch for lacking features...yet in the same breath, talk about how a traditional watch is better....
Sorry, for me, a traditional watch with an ordinary mechanical movement is boring as hell because that mechanical movement is usually cheaply made with poor accuracy and require time-consuming costly maintenance. And you know what...that mechanical movement (even the famous ETA 2892) is seen everywhere from cheap to overpriced Swiss!
The only thing that one can make an argument for mechanical watches is IF you own one of the
in-house movements
with special features (coaxial, Parachrome, etc.)...from Omega 8500 variants, Rolex, AP, Patek, etc..
As for quartz watches, are you kidding me?!
Apple Watch currently (and in future) will be very helpful in making you live a better life. No traditional watch can do that.

The ONLY thing i use the watch for is health - if the phone did more i'd happily dump the watch.
The rest of the features on the watch are pretty useless with the exception of unlocking the rMBP.
You mean in addition to telling time and date?
So, you are complaining that a device that improves your health (!!!), tells time & date, unlocks your computer, and maybe something else you forgot (notifications? weather?) is USELESS.
Boy, tough crowd! What else do you want? For it to wipe your butt for you too? There's an app for that somewhere i am sure!
