How does the smar****ch get around that? The problem wearing an Apple watch (or any other health monitoring device 24/7) is that the thing collects very personal data about you and your health and you can never be sure about what happens to this data. If you are unlucky, your data gets into the wrong hands. -- Alfred Molon I'm not too sure how useful this data will be in the 'wrong' hands. Depending on the data, but I;m not sure how useful it could be if someone know my heart rate, temperature, number of steps takne today/week or any other health thing. Yeah, it's hardly as if anybody could really give a ****. Or maybe some day one could inexplicably start receiving ads for iCoronaryCarePills or GoogleSedatives. Or one's watch could spontaneously give a defibrillating jolt. And for those who do have something to be concerned about I'm sure they are by now aware would choose to avoid such technology. geoff |

To get at my watch (if I were wearing one) I'd need to push back the cumbersome sleeve of my coat while (probably) wearing cumbersome gloves. |

Those gloves presumably not at all cumbersome when diving into your pocket and fumbling for and then extracting the phone then. A simple swipe up with the flat of the gloved hand, at worst with maybe a small jiggle for me (and you). Wanna race ? geoff |

You forgot the putting gloved hand into coat pocket, grasping, and removing phone bit. Not to mention the putting it back again. geoff |
