There is a mute switch for that...even so your watch would probably flash the back-light on when you have a message...since the iPhone does the same.
and yes, I have attended events that ask you to turn off your phone. You know what I do? I turn it off and PAY ATTENTION.

3. Phones off during takeoff and landing - and most people leave them off for the full flight.
4. Most of the rumored phones do more than show the time. They show weather, etc. In order to see that on your phone, you have to do more than just glance at the phone.
As always, if you don't like the idea, don't buy one. But please don't pretend that yours is the only possible position and that no one has the right to have different wants than you.
So basically you're all saying you want an iWatch so you can have a new way to:
1. Not do your actual work...and have a more secretive way to check your personal messages without your boss knowing.
2. Not turn off your cell phone on a plane, since if your iWatch receives data from your iPhone, you'd have to leave your iPhone on to get data.
And basically all iPhones show the time. Pull it out of your pocket and press the top power button. Shows the time. Does it really take that much effort to pull it out of your pocket? And...if you work in an office with a computer terminal in front of you...there is the time that shows in the upper right of the info bar (lower right on PC's).
