That's not the point we were making. The watch seems to be dependent upon the iPhone, and so appears to be largely an extension of the iPhone, without any obvious functions other than a heartbeat monitor that distinguish it from or make it better than the phone. To me, it appears to be a very small iPhone with an added heartrate monitor but without the phone, wifi, gps, and other stuff. I get that it is not currently possible to get this stuff into such a small package, but without that stuff, what exactly is the point? The few things the watch can do are not compelling.
