What's the difference between being distracted by a phone at the dinner table and glancing to the watch ?
If I'm at the dinner table and ignore the notifications in my pocket, I won't easily reach for the phone this way. On my hand though it will vibrate/chirp away and knowing it's "just a glance away" I'll be more easily distracted.
Most people don't wear watches, and if you need your phone for it to work anyway it's not an improvement to have 2 devices for the same exact functions.
If you wear a watch, yeah, the Apple watch does more than your watch does. But beating literally only telling time isn't really masterful innovation.
It doesn't do anything particularly well, except tell time. For its price, you can actually get a damn nice real watch.
