Cellular smartwatches allow you to leave your phone behind, and still be "somewhat" connected - e.g. allowing people to reach you during emergencies, calling a taxi, checking maps etc. It can unlock my front door, be used for pay for a coffee or food, and can control all the lights in my home and allow me to answer my doorbell with a view of who is ringing it. Now it also has a digital drivers license and a mobile key to my car, so I can walk out just with my watch and nothing else, and that feels liberating. The fitness stuff is a plus - its better than nothing, and answers simple questions like how long I've hiked or walked. Battery life is an issue yes, but that's simple - pay more and get the $800 version ;)
