      its to ensure that if someone steals your watch, your data can’t easily be accessed (eg. google wallet etc)

        Yeah okay that sounds actually reasonable. But why the reset? Also getting access by stealing a thing sounds like a huge security flaw to me (2FA and such).

          idk why the reset was necessary, it’s really annoying

      My guess would be that it’s a workaround.

      For what, I don’t know… But that would my guess.

      Tbf the watches didn’t really do much on their own. A factory reset didn’t do too much, let’s hope that changes as wear is matures.

      Apple has proven there is a market for it. Hopefully google will invest more into it.
