I think they are 100% useless. Their only function is to avoid you taking your phone out of your pocket 50% of the time. In the other 50%, you will look at your watch and think "well, I have to get my phone to answer that". It's a poor excuse for a 300 dollar device that ends up being one more thing to charge daily. And, of course, you may end up with a dead battery in the end of the day, so it will do less stuff than a regular wrist watch.
They do some health monitoring stuff, but I wouldn't count that since we have smart bands doing the same for 10% of the cost and with 10 times better battery.
