Don't see what the big deal is. TapSense already do an API for the iphone. This is just one for the watch. I don't get ad spam on my phone so why would I be worried about getting it on my watch.
Saying that I would be majorly pissed off to be pestered by ad spam if I was jogging past a cafe and instead of the watch telling me how unfit I am I get some ad for a free pastry.
Wait until Google perfects the contact lens micro display. If you think web, app, and watch ads are obnoxious, wait until augmented reality ads start appearing in your field of view.
Not as much concerned about the apple watch, as Apple has the clout to stop this.
But in general it makes me concerned for the "Internet of Things"....
6 days into the supposed "Year of the 'Internet of Things'" and advertisers have killed it (the IoT) by proving definitively that if it has a screen that you look at, they will find a way to put an ad on it.

Makes you wonder if one of Apple's competitors came up with the idea, to kill the apple-watch.
Bingo!
