What happens if your iWatch is stolen?

Hi,


I watched the live event announcing the iWatch and am very concerned about the iWatch becoming another target for new or old criminals. Nobody has mentioned anything about how safe or secure the watch is. Many people have been beaten or even murdered over their iphone. Thanks to current technology, a stolen or lost phone can be made useless and has hopefully reduced thefts of this nature.


But what about the iWatch? Will owners be forced to turn then over to their assailant and will they continue to work for their new illegal owner? I hope Apple has thought about this and has something in the system to prevent the iWatch from becoming an easy target. I think Apple needs to mention their safety and security measure in order to prevent anything from happening. There are a lot of questionable people hanging around subways and lonely streets. A shiny iWatch will get attention no matter if it's silver or gold unless your sleeve is covering it up.


Thank you

iWatch-OTHER, Other OS, null

I hadn't thought of that. Some people can be annoyed when corrected on names — but searching is an example where "picky" details such as spelling is important. On a related note, there's this 2½-min. video which contains language that's NSFW:
