Don’t smartphones pose all the same risks? The only thing unique to an Apple Watch is that the screen stays visible at all times, so maybe something could leak

Don’t smartphones pose all the same risks? The only thing unique to an Apple Watch is that the screen stays visible at all times, so maybe something could leak there via a notification or whatnot. If he’s doing things right, the VP should have two phones with the watch tied to his personal one, reducing whatever risk the watch introduces further.

It is, and they give them special phones for that reason. Obama had a special Blackberry limited to 10 people. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/dec/05/barack-obama-cant-have-an-iphone-security-blackberry https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/dec/05/barack-ob...

  Your comment's interpretation is ambiguous. I interpreted as there are/were 10 people that had these special Blackberry phones, when the article says Obama's Blackberry was just limited to contacting 10 people.

    I would guess, three for family, three for end-of-civilisation emergencies, two for politics, that leaves two for miscellaneous.

The default behavior is for notifications not to show content until the watch is unlocked. This can happen by accident, but notifications can also be turned off completely for messages and email, if this is a concern.
