You're missing the fact that the Apple Watch isn't designed to be just
a watch, or even just a watch with stopwatch and alarm functions. 

It's currently designed to basically be a secondary display / input
device for those who are too lazy to take their iPhone out of their
pocket / purse / briefcase.

Later this year Apple will be releasing the Watch Kit programming
functions that will allow developers to create Apple Watch specific
apps, which may or may not make it far more useful by itself.

The real issue with the Apple Watch is that it's simply too expensive.
If it had been released at an iPod Shuffle-like price point, then it
would have made more sense.
