I have been an Apple Watch user since the original Series 0. It’s been awesome to see the evolution of the Apple watch and what it is today.

This sensitive data is encrypted with keys derived from your devices and device passcode, which are only accessible by the end user, and thus this data remains secure even in the case of a data breach in the cloud.
