Such watches could conceivably be abused, but in practice would be little more than ... watches.
Of course the headline has to bash Apple Watch in particular, failing to note that there are other “smart watches” available & popular which are also likely being worn.
Like guns: if someone really wants to abuse one under such circumstances, rules against mere possession won’t stop someone pursuing substantially greater crimes.
So no democrat would actually record all or part of something said in the hearings and hand it, edited or not to someone in the media to further the Chuckie meme of this all being a Republican "Cover Up" because Apple would never sell one of their watches to someone so inclined?
gotcha.
Basically you're saying an Apple watch is an electronic recording device but that no Apple watch owner would sink so low as to abuse it.
