Apple Watch's killer feature is the alarm. It is so much more pleasant to be woken up silently by your watch vibrating than your phone beeping. And then knowing exactly where you can find your watch to hit snooze (on your wrist) vs reaching for your phone.

That's the only feature I use my watch for. It sits on the charger all day waiting for me to wear at night.

Vibrating alarms on watches aren't unique to the Apple Watch, fwiw.
I know! That's the point! I've spent hundreds of dollars to have a vibrating alarm....
I will say: a vibrating alarm is worth its weight in gold if you have a partner, child, early-morning wakeup … or all three.
