That’s going to be a hell of a security risk for us. I think it’ll be a no watches policy in the office going forward.

Surely you'd also have to ban phones and other devices with microphones? All these devices can trivially be set up to record, so if your goal is full security, you should be a no phones workplace.
Given how much people tend to get distracted by their phones, I am surprised most workplaces do not have a phone ban.
Already do that in some situations.
The watches have had a microphone for ages haven’t they?
Why does this feature change things? Unless it can’t be turned off?

My device has no microphone. Promise.
How would you verify?
It’s the other way around - for secure environments there is an approved device list. If your device is not on that list, it does not go in.
There is also an approved human list. And the approved humans carry responsibility and consequence when going into the space.

I imagine this is why Apple has kept the mic array and camera as separate removeable components in their devices when pretty much everything else is integrated.

The irony is that that would probably be Apple's policy with its own offices if a competitor came up with such a feature.
No watches, no glasses and soon no implants....
Agreed, I was finally considering an Apple watch after years of hating how ugly they are but this is a hard pass for me. Back to the drawing board since now I need to consider privacy when selecting a watch brand..
Got a shitty old Casio here. Does the job.
Sounds like a mighty fine watch. Simple, cheap, fulfills requirements with no scope creep.
