I'm thinking of getting one for a single application - Drafts.

It's basically a take-a-note app. You talk to the watch, it records and transcribes your message, storing it in an application that's similar to an email client. At the end of my day I would open my inbox and process my notes.

I've also been getting into time tracking and I think there are some apps for starting and stopping timers from the watch.

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but as an Apple Watch user I've found that apps on the watch are nothing like you would have hoped: they're slow and limited. I'm not saying that Apple Watch isn't useful–I'm just saying that in my experience, its value comes from things other than apps.

Shows the watch app starting in about a second or two.
