i saw a video earlier today that suggested perhaps some features of a phone could be more convenient in watch form just as some things are more pleasant on phones and tablets than on desktops. that it wasn't a replacement, rather a supplement i could maybe get behind that. but if it can't do anything on it's own, without the phone, it loses like 99.5% of it's appeal. if your phone or tablet had to be tethered to a laptop or desktop, it would be useless. i'd think a huge part of the appeal of smart watch would be the fitness stuff. i know my wife doesn't really like using her phones because it is too big for running. she likes her garmin watch better. if you have to take a 5.7 inch phone with you, wtf good is the watch? Sure there is a slight bonus to just putting phone in pocket instead of on arm and using the watch to check stuff, but man it feels like this is missing the point. i'm not convinced i want a smartwatch, but i'm pretty sure i want it to be able to do "something" on it's own. As it is, this is a dumbwatch second screen for phone.
