@cat620: I don't have an apple watch but have worked with people who wear them daily. I think it depends on your personality. I had a fitbit and got tired of wearing it after a few months, and I generally don't wear a watch so for me it is a fad item but for some of my coworkers they can't leave home without their apple watch

I have a Series 3 and I love it. The fitness tracking is great and it's waterproof if you want to swim with it. If I start running again I plan to add it to our cellular plan so that I can run without my phone -- I'll be able to stream music and make calls from it, so it will be all I need.

As for daily conveniences, being able to ring my phone and find it is something I do at least twice a day, and I love being able to send quick voice texts from my wrist while driving. You can also set up Apple Pay on it, which can be really convenient.

I've had one for about a year and wear it a majority of the time. I like it because I usually keep my phone on silent, but it vibrates if I have a call. Or if I don't have pockets and my phone is down somewhere, I can still scan for emails, texts, etc easily. Esp. nice when I'm with my kids and don't want to keep my head in a screen but still waiting for a work email or whatever. I like the fitness and heart-rate tracking, as well as sleep tracking though that's not as good as an old fitbit I had a long time ago (I have an older model now though...). Also I misplace my phone a lot around home and can use the watch to ping it and find it!

I got the 3 for my birthday a year ago and I wore it everyday. I'm not a watch person. I wore fitbit for only a couple months and stopped but the apple watch I love. I do have the cellular feature so I can use it whenever and with 3 littles 6 and under, it just helps to have when I need to run in real quick somewhere. I ping it also several times a day. I'm a weather nerd and I can find that info right away. alarms for anything are great. I also have the RING on my doorbell and I can see whose at the door from the watch, etc.

I resisted getting it for a long time but have LOVED it. For most of the reasons listed here. I have the wifi-only version. Great to get vibrations when you have to completely silence your phone for meetings but still need to know if daycare is calling. Great for doing so many things hand free when I'm carrying/pushing LO around and don't have easy access to my phone. Great for workouts. Also, one of my fears with a cell phone is that I'll misplace it and there will be an emergency. I like the peace of mind of being able to do that immediately from my watch. Obviously it's a luxury and in no way necessary, but I have really, really liked it and can't imagine I'll stop wearing it while LO is still small at least.
