It's an interesting idea. You don't really want a computer for a watch, but it is nice to get notifications as to who is calling and prompts for meetings. The "notifier watch" is less than $40 in some versions, and looks primarily like an analog watch except for a small single line window.

You now have an alternative to fumbling for your phone in your pocket while driving which is obviously dangerous and illegal. You also have an alternative to laying out your phone on the table like it is part of the place setting.


The low price tag compared to hundreds of dollars for an iwatch obviously comes with limited functionality, but for many people they don't really want to be controlling things with their watch.
