So who needs the Apple Watch?
1 - as a clock: already have; don't understand why people don't appreciate regular watches for just telling the time and looking good on a wrist
2 - agreed, some utility to this, but how much hassle is this convenience worth dealing with?
3 - an issue. I am not sure just swiping an Apple Watch across a payment device is going to cut it: somebody coaxes your Watch from your wrist, do they have your credit cards? So you're going to need the phone around anyway for security.
1 - I've now read "But I don't WEAR a watch" and "But I already HAVE a watch" as reasons for not understanding why another company now offers a watch.
2- My phone is constantly leaving and entering my pocket or often getting moved around, sitting on the restaurant table or whatever. It gets old. You already know your watch stays put, right?
3- As stated already, the Watch without matching iPhone isn't a security risk.
