Got my watch on Tuesday and to this point, I've liked it but haven't loved it. However, as I start it use it more for everyday things, it's starting to grow on me. Even my wife, who has told me twice this week she isn't a fan of it, found the below 2 things very cool and useful:

1) We were driving today and needed quick GPS directions and her car's navigation requires you to pull over. Instead I use Siri on my iPhone 6 for directions and they immediately popped up on the watch and vibrated when I needed to turn, Very cool and easy to glance at wrist instead of looking for the phone.

2) using the remote app to control the AppleTV. What a great app and so easy to use. Too bad the AppleTV doesn't have Amazon Prime content...

Once I get watch apps for my SmartThings home automation, Nest thermostat control, Logitech Harmony, MyQ, etc., this watch will become even more valuable.
