I'm the same way about technology, if something has the potential to enhance my life I want it. I'm on the phone (or listening to podcasts) a lot, mostly on the move, these would be perfect. Yes, I really struggle with the Watch. It's at a price point where it really has to deliver something extra for me to justify it. If the rumors are true gen 3 coming out this year will have cellular capability, round face, and extra batteries stowed in the band.. If it would truly allow me to keep my phone tucked away It might be time to buy it.
