Being able to go for a run without taking my giant phone with me would be the only reason that I would buy a watch in the first place.
It looks like Apple Watch isn’t there yet. Maybe an Android watch is?

Google Play Music is (AFAIK) the only media player that works on AW. However, you're unable to sync podcasts to a watch, only music (even though podcasts via GPM work on the phone). So over the last 1.5 years with 2 AW watches (Moto360 sport, Polar M600) across 2 major Wear releases, I've had to listen to music on my runs, rather than the podcasts I'd have preferred. And I take my phone on walks / hikes to listen to podcasts, when I'd prefer to leave it home.
If the apple watch supported podcasts, I'd probably switch.
