This is a new one on me

We are all aware of scams on our phones and computers. What about our watches?

I have an Apple watch that will call 911 if I do something dumb with my tractor or chainsaw.

I looked at my watch to check the time but instead of the time I see this notice to sign in with my email password. Huh? Why? It gave a "not now" option which I took.

Weird.

It could be international hackers looking to steal funds?

The US government trying to collect more data or spy?

The ghost of Steve Jobs trying to communicate with you?

Skynet starting to infiltrate personal devices before a global takeover?

Beware! Technology is dangerous

Is your watch linked to your iPhone? Check there. It may be an update.

If it‘s strictly a cellular watch, there may be something in your email.

I know I’ve had a message like this, though can’t remember the reason.

When I got home I checked, there's nothing anywhere that relates to what I saw on my watch.

It is linked to my iphone and my computer.
