Yet to check those stuffs. Already too many smart devices around and making me dumb day by day. Definitely not this year.

I voted no, but if I had to choose between the 2, I would get a smart watch. They are a companion device to the smartphone and can come in handy in cases where you want to read a text, email, or answer your phone without having to reach into your pocket in situations such as in meetings. Right now the offerings are not very stylish -- it is very obvious you are wearing one. I think they would be better if they looked more like a traditional wristwatch, so you could wear them more discretely.
Smart glasses are just far too impractical for me to take seriously. I wear prescription glasses, so I would either need to wear them all the time, or swap between them. I wouldn't want to have a screen in front of my face 24/7. I'm not even sure if they would technically work for me because my glasses prescription is stronger than the maximum recommendation.

I'm not sure if looking at your watch every few minutes during a meeting could be a good thing

The majority here in the comments seem to be laggards (as I am admittedly). Nonetheless, I'm interested how it evolves.
So, what exactly do you use it for (what is the use case that a company buys a google glass for his employees)?
Is it a technical need, a geek culture in your company, or cocooning tactic?
Cheers

Ok, interesting. Thanks for sharing your application/use case with us.
The private part is geek/fun.
The professional part seems research at the current point. I wonder how much "stress" the eyes/brain have with the permanent exposure to google glass. I have zero experience with that and no clue how that feels, e.g. haveing google glass on for a full working day. I wonder how much ergonomic this is (tired eyes that fail to focus in the evening, dried out eyes since lid movement is disturbed (i.e. due to constant "staring"), headache, ...?). Maybe you tell use sometime in an article on CP 
Cheers

Granted, even a cell phone is really only a convenience, and I did without one for quite a while. Yet it does help solve the problem of my wife and I having to determine who will pick the kid up from school.

Does it count if I first buy smartglasses and smartwatch and then I donate these items to charity or cancer reserach or whatever?
Veni, vidi, vici.

Because, I don't know if you intended or not to include the smart goggles into the equation?
I have a basic set of Transcend GPS goggles with Recon-Instruments HUD from a few years back, and looking to upgrade to the newer versions.

I've already a smartass and there's no more room in the budget.

I bought one of the first iPads and not one person noticed it. After 9 months it died. Complete waste of money.

Now, now. There's no need to blame him for it, even though he is to blame! Without him the iPad may never have become as widespread a problem!

Somebody will someday realize that people don't want to be turned into cyborgs. I find the idea of wandering around continuously plugged into Google an abhorrent idea, smartphones are annoying enough as it is.
