Anyone who steals an Apple Watch can -- in about 20 seconds -- simply reset it and make it their own.

That's because the way Apple designed the Apple Watch makes it surprisingly easy to override your passcode and completely wipe it clean. You can set up a passcode on the Apple Watch. But -- get ready for this -- anyone can just hold down the "Power Off" button, then select and erase all the data on the Watch.

Why is it not on your wrist :noidea:

Apple's plan for world domination includes that being on your person at all times.
