I think if you checked, you'd see that the time spent on smartphones is actually growing as a percentage of all other computing experiences, even as the options increase. Correct. All I'm saying is that for whatever time would otherwise be best spent using a phone, some could be taken by a watch when the watch form factor is more fitting. Exactly the same way phones and tablets have done to laptops and desktops. There might be a time when a watch could replace some of the phone usage, but for now, I can only see it being useful for connectivity as a last resort in situations where I cannot use a phone. Like when one arm is trapped under something heavy :). Because voice and browsing applications where larger screens are more suitable are really the two things that get lost, the easiest way to think about it is "at what times do I not need to speak at length and do I not need a large screen?" For work, a watch would almost never suffice. But recreational/casual situations are fitting much of the time, not just when working out or running errands.
