I got a Fitbit Blaze (I think that's the model) as a gift either last Christmas or the one before - it's sat in a drawer unused because I just don't like it. Granted, I didn't wear a watch before, so the whole aspect of actually wearing something on my wrist was a bit alien, but I just don't see the point. I know it's not an out and out smart watch, but there is phone connectivity, so it kinda qualifies.

1) It seems to be a lot of money for something that is rapidly outdated. If you're willing to splash the cash, or are happy for someone else to spend the money on it on your behalf then go ahead, but it seems to age even faster than smartphones do. I also hate having to take it out to charge every couple of days - it's just a faff and it's part of the reason it's sat gathering dust in a drawer. Unlike a normal watch, this is a tiny computer so it will chew through the battery quite quickly. It just becomes tedious.
2) It depends if you're after something flashy and futuristic or a more traditional watch with integrated features. We don't know what you like so that's up to you.

I'm a bit biased as I don't wear watches anyways, but I really can't see the point. As Pete says, it seems that manufacturers have realised this and development is starting to stagnate as they look to other areas to expand upon.
