I totally get it. It's similar to how I just keep a phone to make and receive calls. But it does seem a little ludicrous when you think about all the things you can do with a smart phone. As the number of apps increases, I think smart watches will be accepted and used in a similar way. A huge plus point for smart watches is it's accessibility. Compared to the time spent pulling out a smartphone from your pocket, you'll be able to to instantly check news updates, emails, weather and etc right on your wrist.

It feels less accessible to me for anything other than pushed notifications and SMS (Pebble owner here). Given the screen size and limited controls or touchscreen space, the pain of navigating to the information you want, makes a smartphone seem like less effort overall.
