So given that a watch is never going to replace your phone outright (the fact that Apple was obliged to make bigger phones should be proof enough of that), how often are you going to be wearing a smart watch but inexplicably not want to have your phone?
The lack of GPS when running is troubling though. How does it track distance? The FitBit is pretty bad at it. Another thing is that listening to music while running is a key feature for me. The larger iPhones won't be good for that. What to do???

If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong.
