Not having to take your phone out of your pocket. This seems like a small thing, but it was a game changer for me. I was at a party the first weekend I had it, and I realized I hadn't touched my phone in three hours. I can see what's important at a glance. If I'm working and my phone vibrates, it breaks my flow to pull it out and see if it's something that requires attention. With the watch, I just glance over, and know if I need to address it before it breaks me out of what I'm doing. If I'm biking I can see if a call is worth pulling off to the side of the road for. I know longer worry the whole ride home if the phone going off in my pocket is a crisis, or something I can safely ignore. If only I could leave my phone at home.

I'm sorry that you feel so insecure about your own intellect.

Now I remember why I stopped visiting the comment section on this site.
