Look at what's featured in iOS 8 - a lot of it supposedly has to do with exactly those kind of features - medical records, heart monitoring, exercise logging, stuff like that. The preliminary reports seem to mesh pretty well with the target role / audience for an iWatch type device.
I have no need - I have a Fitbit and a Garmin unit for cycling that already tracks routes, HR, wattage output, etc. It's kind of a cool idea but I hardly think it's going to be the next iPhone. I'm guessing it's Apple's next Newton - good product but far too limited of a target audience and ultimately a due from wonkish bean-counter standpoints. Maybe I'll be wrong but I'd be surprised to see this thing be anything other than lukewarm in terms of sales.
