Not having to reach for the phone is pretty convenient, I can just leave my phone on my bed while cooking or working or whatever else and thus only care about truly important notifications, and because it doesn't involve a full "context switch" of pulling out a phone, it doesn't really feel intrusive, being just enough info for me to be able to determine if it justifies pausing what I'm doing and reaching for a phone or just making a mental note to get back to it after finishing what I'm doing. Also, if my hands are full/dirty I can still control media playback (granted that using the nose to tap on a watch probably looks pretty funny), and have weather right on my wrist (which is surprisingly handy). Edit: Also it turns out to be the best kind of alarm for me. Audio alarms are annoying (also to anyone else who has to hear it) and don't really tend to wake me up nicely. Turns out the slight vibration of the watch wakes me up pretty nicely without bothering people in other rooms.
