    Your subject says "phone".
    Your para above is "smart watch"?

    Which?

    Sorry. I blew that one. I hope this one is correct.

    Plausible but not likely. I suppose there may be a paper out there with
    some edge case that it can be done.

    The Apple Watch WiFi uses the same security models as other Apple
    devices. And Apple watches are "satellites" of the iPhone that they are
    paired to. (The watch can get its data from the web directly or via the
    phone depending on the data source).
