Apparently, Casio fails to recognize that nowadays, most people don't really need a watch for timekeeping because they carry a smartphone that does time perfectly well.
I wear a cheap $5 Chinese made watch only because I use it to carry a backup of all my crucial data with me at all times, even in the shower. If something goes bump in the night, my data is always with me so all I need to worry about is my own personal safety.

Casio could easily and cheaply add this to their watches and instantly make them much more desirable in my opinion.
Is your data encrypted at rest? Someone could kill you and steal it very easily.
The watch itself is certainly nothing anyone would kill me for <g>.
But yes, the entire microSD card is encrypted using BitLocker in case it happens to be lost or otherwise falls into the wrong hands. My will contains the decrypt password.
If you think about it, my data is as safe as I am --- if not safer. The authorities aren't going to spend any effort to recover a memory card --- but they will to recover a body with a memory card attached..
Since this is always with me, it serves as the off-site copy in my 3-2-1 backup plan.

If the threat model includes murder, they can get my encrypted data anyway.
