Phones are designed to be operated single handed, but with this smartwatch you have to use not just the hand that the watch is on, but the opposite hand as well to operate it so it is actually less discrete than using your phone.
This reminds me of Microsoft & Apple. With Microsoft it was styles: "Don't write the way *you* want to, write the way *we* want you to". With Apple it was how to hold your phone. People need to realize that not everybody wants to live the way you do-assume they're aware of the possibilities (if they're intelligent, they are) and have already rejected them. The watch is another alternative that some of them might prefer. It's over-expensive, sure-and some people don't like any alternatives. Tough-people are different & that's pretty much it.

Personally I'm still looking for a Bluetooth headset that works for me. Technically they all work, of course, but I'm not willing to change how I do things, e.g. I want to choose which calls to answer but the 'Bluetooth' solution to fumbling for your phone (or that minuscule button on the headset) is to answer all calls automatically. That's not what I want to do so I don't normally use a headset-instead I simply don't answer (or even check) the phone when I'm driving. That sometimes causes problems but less than an accident would.
