Agreed - and in fact my decision wasn't taken so lightly. I guess another way of seeing what happened is this. I imagined a watch that could work disconnected from the iphone, which is a drastically new product. Beside making calls and paying, and beside the "watch-specific" uses such as activity tracking, I was under the impression that music streaming could be there. And I was wrong (and, as pointed out elsewhere, I could have read more).
