After thinking about it for a few days, I would break the likely first wave Apple Watch buyers into 3 groups.
One are those who want to be in on the first wave of cool technology or will buy anything Apple.
The second are people who like the idea of an Apple watch, and plan to get it as a fashion statement.
The third are those who have a specific issue that it solves.
For me, it solves three problems. First, not having to pull my iPhone out of my pocket when I get a notification. The second is being able to not carry my iPhone around the house to avoid missing calls (also allows me to put the iPhone in a secure pocket rather than stick it in my shirt pocket where it tends to fall out when I bend over). The last is exercise monitoring.
IMPO, if someone is saying should I buy an Apple watch (people in the first two groups aren't asking that question), then I would simply ask, what problem are you trying to solve with it? In the programming industry we call this your use case.
