I really don't agree they are worthless but until about last week I was really considering dropping my Apple Watch.... In favor of going back to a Pebble (I had a Pebble steel). Now that Pebble is no more I'll be sticking with the Apple Watch. I love having the time on my wrist (never knew how useful it was, I was never a "Watch guy") but even more so I love the notifications. Pebble had an awesome product but living in an Apple ecosystem I decided to go for the Apple Watch and while I like the look and finish a lot more than the pebble I'm not sure it justifies the cost in the end. My Pebble vibrate could be heard across the room while the haptic feedback from my Apple watch is silent. My Apple watch looks nicer than my Pebble but my Pebble blew away the Apple watch on both battery and cost.
I agree with some of the other comments here, I want a companion device not another smartphone on my wrist. I have used apps on my watch 1-2 times ever because the screen is just too small to really do anything on. With one of the new updates texting with drawing made it useful for responses again (I never got into canned responses) but really I want the time and notifications. I has hoped for better siri integration but it's failed me enough times I just reach for my phone to use siri at this point.
