Also, letting people hear your conversations and what you search for might not be broadly appealing for any watch. So if you want to say "call my hooker" you wait until other people aren't around, or dial the number on your phone. iWatch doesn't have to work for everything all the time, no product does. Your just fishing for any negative you can think of. You do that a lot.

They certainly won't release one that will allow you to use an Android phone. Whatever Apple releases will be closed-wall to their OS. And it will likely cost 2-3x as much. So Google won't try to make an app or apps similar to what they are doing with iOS? With that being said, I have no idea if the iwatch is in fact going to happen much less the capabilities of the alleged watch.

"Also, letting people hear your conversations and what you search for might not be broadly appealing for any watch. " But talking to your glasses is fine?! I agree, voice control has it's time and place; IMO it's one of the interactions that make sense in a watch. The other is glancible data. People criticize IOs for not having widgets or Live Tiles (tm), but maybe on a watch, it starts to make more sense, and now completes the product offering...

I don't think the watch is going to be a phone. I think it will quietly alert you to incoming messages. Show them via text possibly. Remind you of appointments. Play music like the old iPod nano without the iPhone connection Convenient for those of us who might choose to leave the phone off occasionally. To reply or do real work, like set up appointment reminders, you'll use your iPhone. I think it will be $150 - 250 and that people who get them will quickly become addicted. Basically they will be a small adjunct to an iPhone which will also make the phone much better. Professionals who need that quiet unobtrusive interaction when they are in situations where it would be disruptive to pull out their phone to check a message will not be able to live without them.
