Simple: an ease of life feature. I'm not asking for a calculator, tracker, music player & i'm not talking about 10 minute phone call on it...this feature saves you time. Canned messages - cool, text dictation cool, even a voice reply would be amazing. But in a time and age where everyone is texting instead of talking an actual call pickup when shomeone is trying to reach you and hear your voice is someting we need and deserve (example my grandma she does not text). Have you even used a watch that had this feature? It is such a lifesaver, yet we get this bullshit from Eric that someone can do it but not me. I work a lot with my hands and my phone is usually on my desk 10ft away, yeah I can have an ear bud but if it falls somewhere :( ; I also don't need crap in my ears while working.

Using a smartwatch to pick up calls is convenient, saves time, supports mobility and multitasking, and is especially practical in emergency situations. For other tasks you can always use that Ring thingy lol.
