Okay, there's just one. IN PARTICULAR, I've heard that wrist watches can "buzz" when you're on a motorcycle and using them for GPS. I have a very poor sense of direction and I am a novice rider. Therefore a digital wristwatch buzzing at me in some way to indicate that I need to turn left immediately into Pork & Grimey's for the Tuesday lunch special means that I can "side" my bike (not low side or high side - I just look like I was flung from it by the giant pet from Black & White) and die.
Watch a Samsung Galaxy do that!
(In seriousness though, I have no idea how I'd ever notice vibrations on a watch while riding, nor is there anything they can do to make me think, "Oh, a left turn" versus a right. Couple that with the fact that the GPS I do use - my phone's - loves to give me the instruction on when to turn five feet before the intersection... and, well, I just don't see how this highly-touted feature of watches works. So Stew is right after all.)

There is no role that a wristwatch can fill that a phone does not already by Entropy Stew 11/17/2015, 2:24am PST
