So my watch does not ask me for my code anymore when I turn it on and put it on my wrist!! So that mean if someone steal it they can get inside it with out my code working. Is anybody else having this problem??

Am I the only one?

If your iPhone is unlocked that will also unlock your watch when it is on your wrist and both are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If you don’t want that to happen open the Watch app on your phone, tap Passcode and turn off Unlock with iPhone. You should always have Wrist Detection (also under Passcode settings) on.
