It would bother me at all.
What if the iWatch was a home automation device? It could have Siri integration to control things and would be perfect for iBeacons.
To the people who are into home automation devices, that could be exciting to them. Personally, it's not a big deal.
I mean you would have the watch on you all the time and it would have longer battery life than if you used your phone with iBeacons. The iBeacons would tells your devices where you are and could do things like turn on the lights when you walk in. And you could do things like just say "Hey Siri" to your iWatch where ever you are without fumbling for your phone and then tell it you spilled something, and Siri would dispatch the iRobot in the room you were in. And all this could be done in Apple's own home app that comes standard on your device. This app could connect to anything that uses HomeKit and would be where you set the schedules and set it up. What do you guys think of this idea? Would you buy an iWatch if that's what it was for?

If it was strictly for home automation, I would pass on purchasing it.
