I don't have an Apple Watch, but I'm using Android Wear for 6 months now - Yes, it takes a while to get adjusted to forming a relationship with your watch. But you get there.

It's an amazing experience to own a smartwatch. And people are genuinely excited about your new gadget, not judging on you. From my experience, they really want to know, and find out how I got one. It is not yet a fashion statement, but the upsides outweigh the downsides.
