Personal anecdote: I got one and am happy with it so far. I roam around the house / office without really thinking about where my phone is. The health aspects have been the stickiest feature for me -- I actually appreciate the "stand up for a bit" notifications, and enjoy hitting my daily goals.
Phone calls work surprisingly well -- much better than speaker phone IMHO, because you don't have to hold a phone, and you don't really need to hold your watch up to your face either.
Voice recognition is solid.
Glancing at a notification feels a lot less distracting than digging out my phone to see of it's important and then getting sucked in because now my phone is open. (I know, self-discipline...)
The customizable watch faces make me wish the phone had a similar feature -- I find myself trying to "glance" at my phone, expecting it to light up automatically. My face has the weather, calendar, and activity tracker on it, so I get a lot of use out of that.
The build quality is nice (I went steel, and it definitely has a luxury feel to it).
Mostly it has a fun retro-future quality to it. Some apps are a little buggy, but it doesn't really matter -- we're living in the future :)
