I used MS Band 2 before, I can read message on it and see calls notifications.

For messages, the thing is that when I'm reading it, people around me also see, so it's not that useful in meetings, it's just the same as taking out my phone to read messages.

For calls, I can only reject/reject with message, to actually answer it, I need to take out my phone.

 

Again, smartwatches usefulness are limited, and looking at your smartwatch = looking at your phone. 

Only reason I found to wear smartwatches is if it doubles as your fitness tracker.

 

And yes, it speeds up your phone batt drain.

I don't think any of the mainstream one can take photo haha. Though I saw one at changi recently that can take photos and videos.

 

if you want to get it for photo/video, may I recommend getting something similar to a spy pen? Much more discreet haha
