for a tech person like myself it is, computers/electronics have zero learning curve for me. Don't take what I said above as negative it's just for myself personally, after the hype was over the usage factor dropped. I've changed songs, checked notifications, reminders, msg, emails, etc... but the two features I use the most are checking the Time and Fitness stats. Any notification that hits my watch I received about 2secs earlier on my phone. By the time any notification comes in i'm already grabbing my phone before its pushed to my watch.
i will purchase the next Watch version just like I buy every iPhone version... but I can't honestly give a good reason to anyone to purchase the Watch other than if you have the money and you want the latest/hot tech then get it. SS and Edition is perfect for fashion tech too
