I have a couple of watches. One expensive for dress etc, and another that does everything from being a compass, to measuring altitude, to several times zones and alarm (usual digital watch functions), spirit level, blah blah etc
Smartwatches right now are nothing but a stop gap. All they do display texts and let you pick or dial up calls from your phone.
You still need a headset to speak (unless you want o look like a real twat and hold the watch to your head), but you also need a phone.
Suddenly you've gone from needing one device (a phone) to needing three to do the same job.
I laugh whenever I see one, as it's like someone walking down the street with their wired headphones in clutching the phone in one hand while pushing one headphone in to their ear. My brian goes so much for hands free lol.
So no, it's no extreme, it's common sense.
When they make a phone that can be worn on your wrist and they figure out a good interface to make and receive calls, as well text or mms, then I will be all over them.
Until then, you're really just buying it because they suckered you in to the marketing hype.
