Definitely. The jump from dumbphone to smartphone was pretty huge. I can do a lot more on the go now than I could before. The jump from smartphone to smartphone + smartwatch is smaller, and possibly just lateral rather than forward. It doesn't enable many more things than just a smartphone, but it offers you a slightly more convenient way of doing some things, at the cost of another device to charge and keep track of.
