I don't wear mine anymore really, but the use case for it for me was to see notifications quickly and easily without taking my attention away from whoever I am with. You can quickly just glance at your watch to see if the text/phone call/email is important or not and then just twist your wrist to dismiss.
Not all notifications need replying to, and it's sometimes nice to have them be glanceable. I don't use a smartwatch per say, the battery life on them suck, but my Garmin watch still has some of the same general functionality along with the fitness stuff I mostly have it for. Plus underrated feature for me is using it to ring my phone when I can't find it ha
The point is I don't feel the need to reply to almost any notification immediately. There are emergencies that can't wait sometimes though.
