You could secure authorizations (including but not limited to payments), use GPS-enabled geolocation applications, monitor biometrics, and receive/transmit data (including short voice bursts) when needed, retaining a useful battery life. You don't need network capabilities for half those things (payments, biometrics, GPS). We'll see what native apps crop up for watches that are standalone and independent from a phone, but for now, I don't see any reason to pay $10 a month for a phone. And it's not that I'm cheap-- this is from someone who can't be bothered to carry more than one credit card to maximize rewards :)
