I found this article spot on and in fact just decided yesterday independently I'd like to sell or give away my watch. Yes, it's nice to respond to a call on your wrist, and yes the health tracking (esp. the heart rate monitor) is kind of cool, but it just doesn't add that much value overall. And there are downsides: - The cost - I always felt a little embarrassed wearing it for some reason; probably my own issues but I didn't like the idea that I was broadcasting "I spent $400+ on this not-that-useful watch" - I often went running without the watch, and then it would complain I didn't do much exercise that week - It's another "thing" to manage: charge it at night, take an extra charger with you on trips, something to get lost, etc. I think the fallacy here is that Apple tried to create a mini iPhone plus a few extra features. But then it's not adding much incremental value, and it requires an iPhone anyway. I'd rather the Apple Watch go in a direction that opens up new frontiers, which I think is all around the health tracking and minimizing or eliminating everything else. I'd love to get biofeedback, sleep patterns, stress level measurements, heart rate graphs throughout the day, pulse oximetry, echocardiograms, and other cool insights about my body. My iPhone can't do any of that (without extra's), and that could make a real impact on my day-to-day.
