Are you guys using the watch for entertainment?
I didn't want the watch but it was given to me as a gift. I don't wear watches but now wear this one all day long. If you want to play with Facebook and retweet Kardashian selfies like this life is too long for you than stick with the phone.
I found I no longer use my phone. Most texts and emails are a quick glance with not much importance and this watch allows me to quickly swap through songs and input weight lifting and timing data at the gym. Pair the watch with some great bluetooth headphones and you can toss the arm strap and leave the phone in the bag.
So if you are a productive person who needs a quick glance at communication, schedule and fitness data without the clutter than the watch will serve you well.
If you need to burn through time with entertainment than go play with the phone.
I hope most of you return your watches out of boredom so that I can look fashionable and not like just another fan boy.

You took the words out of my mouth. My phone sits in a bag or on a charge dock all day. I find that if i pick up my phone to check something, I'm distracted with other apps after. with the watch i know I'm not missing money making calls and its less clutter at the gym. I would often leave my phone on the other side of the house and delete all entertainment apps to stay focused but than i missed important calls. The watch i had no interest in has changed things for me.

Interestingly enough, I feel the opposite when wearing a smart watch. My phone pretty much stays in my pocket all day, and I feel less "connected". When I take my phone out I usually get side tracked and check Facebook, instagram, etc. With the watch I see what I need to see and that is it
