Aren't you just confused about this whole situation? You do know that the human the watch is attached to has ears right? Which record and store the information?
You have no expectation of privacy next to another human in public places.
Human memory is well known to be unreliable. There’s a clear difference with “he said, she said” type recollections and what Apple is doing. People forget things and they get things wrong.
There may indeed be no expectation of privacy in public but this still really creepy and slightly threatening.
It’s always listening and allows you to go back without pressing record before hand.
Now you have a potential written record of every off colour remark, joke and personal discussion you over hear.
Maybe you think the world would be better if we all watch what we say in public further, I don’t.
That really bothers me. It might be legal for Apple to do this but it's still creepy as fuck.
They're still recording everywhere and sending a transcription to iCloud and they're doing it without consent.
This has the same vibes as those Meta glasses. It's something that people will force on others.

Plenty of jurisdictions are single consent.
Moreover, what is the difference with using your phone to record?

Transcriptions count if you’re using them to intercept and record oral communications between others.
The recording doesn’t have to be audio to violate the Federal Wiretap Act.
