> Whip out your phone.

Well that scenario is more like this:

Fish your phone out of your pocket or bag, unlock the screen, pull down the notification bar, navigate to the app...

Look at your wrist.

Pebble is quite convenient especially when you're on the go. Walking while staring at your phone is quite hazardous. Also, when my phone is in my pocket, I usually don't hear it ring but I definitely feel when something strapped to my wrist vibrates.

Does it really matter if you hear it or not though?

My phone is in my pocket. I don't need to respond to every minor notification. The only important one is when it rings and it makes a lot of noise then as well.

It does to me. I have notifications set up to appear from things I care about - and now I can see them instantly, which means I'm not pulling my phone out of my pocket to check for them when they haven't actually appeared yet, just in case.

I just remember stuff.

Yes, and that's if you can hear or feel it vibrate in your bag, which can be difficult, specially in crowded/noisy places.

Phones can show the info on the lock screen.

This is exactly why I bought mine, and it was totally worth it.
