I have use for it because I've lots of meetings and appointments and is nice having something where I can glance at the notifications and next appointments information without taking my phone out of the pocket, it's also very useful to know if a new message is something important to stop what I'm doing to deal with it.
I also use the stop watch a lot and I also use it as remote for my chromecast because I'm too lazy to grab my phone.
I usually have it configured to only vibrate for priority notifications (that's one of the cool features of 5.1) so it only vibrates when really needed.
It's not completely essential for me like my smartphone is but it has it's nice to have.
That's a more enthusiastic appraisal of using one of these on a day-to-day basis than I've heard -- haha, but even there, you end with "It's not completely essential . . . but it's nice to have", so I don't know. It just seems like a lot of money to spend on something that's not in the "Hey, this makes my life significantly better!" class of devices.
If you are in doubt my advice right for now is not to buy it. Smartwatches and wearables in general are still on the early adopters phase, so right now we are all beta testers (which is strange taking into account the first smartwatches are over 30 years old). In a couple of years we'll have better and cheaper ones, and tons of apps for them.
