I'm looking forward to trying the voice recognition. In my experience my phone has been really accurate with minor mistakes here and there. So if the watch is better that will be great.

The watch function and several others still work without the phone. Still check your calendar, emails you've already received etc. You just can't update anything.
Not like it totally shuts down without the phone.
So whats the point in owning one?

The voice recognition is phenomenal and far beyond an iPhone 6+ which confounds me. I know that the voice to text feature would have to be amazing because it has to be for the watch to be useful because you can't edit a text on the watch. I talk to this damn watch in my conversational voice and it nails everything.
Four days in and the battery is beyond my wildest dreams. Strapped it on this morning around 7:30 and it is at 46% at 9:30 and I've been active on it all day up until just now.
I did a test with my wife last night. I sent her a text and she had had to pick up her phone in arms reach and once she read the text she had to send an agreed upon response by texting. It took her 28 seconds and she is a phone ninja. She then sent me the same text with me getting it on the watch. Reading it and sending back the same response took 12 seconds.
Before you guys think I'm torturing my wife, she ordered hers today.

Now I'm really looking forward to getting my watch.

I bought an Apple Watch immediately, but after a month I'm done

Sounds like a pretentious a-hole that didn't want to like his watch in the first place and wanted clicks.
Is it OK that I love mine after three days despite one guy's opinion on Yahoo?

There's almost nothing that's better through the watch versus the phone. Get a text on the wrist? Cool! Whip out your phone and respond. Get an email? Cool! Whip out your phone to respond. Want to see the score of a basketball game? You're better off looking at your phone than using a watch app. The fitness tracking is better, but the iPhone already counts steps, which works well enough for me.
Rest of the article was douchy, but this is what I'm worried about.
Like I said, there's a use and market for this, I just don't think Apple or anyone else knows what that is yet.

Stupid. He misses the whole point--- you got the text without having to whip out your phone to see if it's something important. And when I do need to respond I do it often enough on the Watch, without using the phone.

How important are you people that you can't check your phones throughout the day? Can't possibly be that way. If you are that important, then I guarantee you all look like fricking slaw jaw retards wearing Apple watches.

Well, now I don't have to a slack jaw that checks my phone "throughout the day".
My Watch checks it for me every millisecond...

Idiotic statement.
Screening notifications with a glance at your wrist rather than fishing out your phone every time something comes through is actually pretty amazing and you don't realize how much time you spend doing that until you don't have to. That is just one function of the watch.
I have no idea what other smart watches do. I can only speak to the Apple Watch. I'm almost a week in and I love it. We are tied to our phones these days for better or worse. There are good things and bad things about how much we are tethered to them.
Honesty, my experience with the Apple Watch so far is that it has let me step back a little and not be such a slave to my phone. It's a filter at a quick glance and allows you to get one step away from the phone slavery and stay plugged in to what is in front of you.
It's not "Phone is going off, phone is going off." It is a quick glance and "Worth a minute, not worth a minute."

Apple has a tendency to ignore criticism and act immune to what people outside of Apple think they should be doing and on what timeframe. The watch seems to be an abandonment of that.

So, it seems Apple caved to pressure and revealed a product sooner than they would have liked and released it before they had their production lined up.
What, did you think the loss of Jobs wouldn't change anything?
He was probably the main thing keeping them on target and on focus.
