You just gave me a Smart Watch from your mailed ad to this area. It has no known brand name. I'm told that it can somehow download private data from a cellphone, which could be disastrous. I don't use a cellphone. Is it dangerous to others?

Most Smart Watches operate by using Bluetooth to connect to YOUR cell phone -- you have to specifically scan with your phone to discover the watch, and then confirm the pairing with a PIN-number-like sequence of numbers that appears on the phone and on the watch. It generally doesn't happen automatically or anonymously. The watch can then use contact information, messages, and some apps on the phone that it's paired with. It doesn't access other phones automatically or anonymously either. Usually. Someone could use it to attempt to pair with others phones, but that someone would pretty much have to be you, in possession of the watch. If you don't have a cell phone, you don't have to worry; you likely won't get all the benefits of a Smart Watch like calls, contacts, and messaging, but without a cell phone, you're not getting that now, so you won't miss it. Go in peace. Do that which is right. Larry
