I have one.
I have one. I don't work with my hands, but I'm clumsy; it's already a little scratched. Oh well. I also have problems with the gesture, though for some reason it doesn't really bother me. I have the opposite experience with rudeness...I feel like a subtle glance is just way, way less disruptive than pulling out your phone. I keep my notifications (both phone & watch) pretty dialed back, so it's mostly just when someone is directly messaging me that I get a notification. Before, I just couldn't keep myself from pulling out my phone and seeing what was up, and then at that point usually saying 'excuse me' and taking a moment to respond, even if it wasn't urgent. Now, I just glance at it, see it isn't urgent, and reply later. I also find it helps me from accidentally slipping into my phone in group social situations, since I have zero excuse to pull it out in the first place. I think it has a lot of potential overall as a device, but besides the issues you brought up, there are other frustrating things about it: Siri is ungodly slow (why can't this be natively recognized on device like my mac?). Replying to a message with voice or emoji is a ridiculously cumbersome process. You can't reply with more than a single emoji, which makes your responses seem overly curt and rude. Shipping with os1.0 apps (where all the computation is on the phone) means almost all 3rd party apps are terrible. &c. I feel Apple has gotten away a bit from their 'do few things well' core (classic example: original iPhone shipping w/o copy and paste or 3rd party apps), and fallen into the temptation of 'do lots of things so-so'.
