I'm the same. I'm left handed, but mouse with my right hand, which means it was never comfortable with a watch. I think I finally stopped wearing one completely once I got my first smart phone (one of the original blackberries).
Smart watches have virtually zero appeal to me as a result. They feel very much like something my father would be into and most of the people I've seen wearing them are over 50. Anecdotal I know, but to be honest, I'm surrounded by time keeping devices at this point. I have a half dozen internet connected accurate time-synced devices within arm reach right now in fact.
I don't need one while driving since my car has a clock and I can't ever recall the last time I didn't know what time it was or having to make a fuss to figure it out because I wasn't wearing a watch.
It seems like most of the folks who talk about it being useful are people who live in very urban environments and spend significant time on public transport, bicycles or in taxis where time keeping devices maybe aren't as common.
