Despite the risks for intel officers, senior government officials & special operations forces, the Apple Watch is a powerful tool that has already saved numerous lives in peril
Coming from the world of intelligence, we are admittedly not big fans of smartwatches, preferring the combination of utility and heritage offered by analog tool watches over an increasingly connected lifestyle. However, these connected devices can be powerful tools, and there are already numerous instances where the Apple Watch has been the difference between life and death.
In this new video on the W.O.E. YouTube Channel, we’ll discuss examples of lives saved by the Apple Watch while also confronting the benefits and liabilities of connected technology for members of our community.
Enjoy episode thirty-five of W.O.E. TV.
Happy Hunting,

But I allways take of my watch when I give you a rectal investigation…..
Apple watches are what I call Internet of Threats not Internet of Thing (IOT). Carrying an iPhone or a phone in general (that isn’t highly modified with a custom privacy/security Distro and further hardened) and even driving a modern car emits a digital exhaust from all the behavioral and location telemetry and sold to data brokers for marketing. US car manufacturing executives even admit they are not longer in the car manufacturing business; they are in the data harvesting business- it’s the new “oil”. Your modern car is most vulnerable connected device you own. As an OSINT guerrilla grey/white hat I can personally attest that the line between ‘advertising profile’ and ‘targeting package’ is razor thin☠️⚰️. I can find out everywhere you have been, your whole pattern of life, perhaps as far back as the past decade, with couple totally legal $5 API calls to location data brokers and some filtering/tradecraft. I can find out family members and known travelers and find out their patterns of life too.
I have an Ultra 3 as well as numerous analogue watches. They all serve a purpose.

I’ll stick to analogue & my few beat up G-Shocks.
