I used to wear a Tissot, but my Apple Watch is so much more practical. I never thought I'd go for Apple Watches since they look so.... nerdy. But within a week of wearing one, I was sold. Today, I use it to Apple Pay for everything without whipping out my phone or wallet, from restaurants to transit (with Express Transit I don't even have to double click -- I just point my wrist at the card reader). It tracks my sleep so I know to compensate accordingly if I'm not well rested... as in adjusting how much caffeine to consume. Its alarms wake me up gently by buzzing (haptics) as opposed to a shrill phone alarm. I can glance at it to see when my next meeting is, so I know how much time I have to dawdle. (I need my down time throughout the day) It tells me how loud a room is in dB. You might ask, can't you tell by just listening? Yes, but when I know it in dB, I know whether the ambient noise is going to affect me over a long period of time and that I should use ear plugs or put on ANC headphones. 30-40 dB is ok, but anything above that is annoying. You don't realize how noisy a city truly is -- and cutting that noise out can really do wonders for head space. It helps me to navigate while walking in the city -- it's easier and works better than than holding up a phone. I only charge it when I shower (it goes from nearly 10% to full in minutes), otherwise I wear it 24/7. You can do all of this with a phone, but having all of it on your wrist is just that much more seamless. (no need to whip out your phone) I didn't miss my Tissot at all.
