Jane, my apologies, but there is no such thing as an "iWatch" to ever properly pluralize. That product name does not exist. Your description of being eavesdropped on by an Apple product is something that would never happen and in fact could not happen with an AppleWatch by design because they literally do not listen all the time they are on your wrist due to battery constraints, nor does Apple sell any advertising or customer data to third-parties at all, ergo, your experience could not have arisen from wearing one.
If your third generation AppleWatch had independent internet cellular connectivity, you’d know it because you’d have to pay an extra fee to your service provider to make calls on your watch when you were away from your iPhone. It would also have a red inset in the crown, and have cost you considerably more money than a non-cellular version.
I again apologize for my misapprehension, but with your use of the denigrating name of the AppleWatch, usually used only by those who don’t own them, and your description of a functionality that it can’t do, I think my misunderstanding was reasonable as your claim paralleled those I’ve faced before posted to cause people to distrust Apple’s promised privacy policy for its users which I’ve found to be reliable.
I suggest you give it a real world deliberate test. I know I’ve NEVER had such a thing occur with Apple.
I too consider you a FRiend.

My AppleWatch (apologies, I call everything Apple, iWhatever :) does have the red inset and separate cellular.
I didn’t mean to denigrate the name of Watch :)
We just find it really remarkable that the pop ups and emails have stopped, since we stopped wearing our Watches as often. Could be pure coincidence, I’m sure.
Thanks for your reply, FRiend.
