Some of us are our own bosses. We also travel a lot and work with companies on different continents in different timezones. Some people may work in management, not everybody has a 9-5 job and can just shut everything off as they go home. When I travel family and friends also stay in touch via Skype or other IM messengers -- much cheaper than calling. In some countries you wouldn't want to pull out your phone just anywhere on the street (somebody might just snatch it away). In all those cases a smart watch would come in handy. But this ugly thing with limited functionality is not what I would want.
For those who care about making good money you can't get too hung up on the work/leisure time split. And a message on a watch is not much of an intrusion. A quick glance and you can tell if it is important or if it can wait until later.
