With such a vast range of personal information in a wearable, protection from unauthorized access becomes more critical.

Sometimes Apple Watch prompts to record a workout automatically.

Apple has been working on non-invasive technology to measure blood glucose levels. These sensors would use optical absorption spectroscopy to calculate blood sugar levels through the skin, making pin pricks for blood samples unnecessary.
