      Activation lock on newer Apple devices is pretty bulletproof. Unless you’re stealing it for parts, it’s not gonna be worth your time and since the repairability is pretty low, I don’t see theft as being a huge problem for the Apple Watch.

      Personally I would be more worried about it falling off with magnets. I was in a river this weekend and wasn’t worried at all, but if all I had was magnets holding it on, I would definitely think twice about going in with that setup.

        Unfortunately the people that steal these don’t have the foresight to consider activation lock, they’ll probably turn around and sell for dirt cheap to someone who doesn’t know any better
