"3 - an issue. I am not sure just swiping an Apple Watch across a payment device is going to cut it: somebody coaxes your Watch from your wrist, do they have your credit cards? So you're going to need the phone around anyway for security."
I believe the watch locks up as soon as it leaves your wrist.
Uh, then the other person would put it on their wrist. Unless you're saying that it will only work on the "owner's" wrist.
It'll probably also work on the thief's wrist if they additionally steal your iPhone or drag your dead carcass close enough to enable the Watch.
But a Watch without corresponding iPhone (not the thief's iPhone ...) not so much.
I read somewhere yesterday that you have to enter a code every time you first put it on. Sorry, I can't remember where. There was so much coverage yesterday.
