Watch is basically just a small phone you wear on your wrist, wouldn't worry me.

Since 2023 I've been using only my phone to drive both our Tesla's with zero issues except the occasional restarting BT, which takes literally 3 seconds. I can't wait until they add support for Android watches... although I still need my phone for other things, like posting here on CL :)

Same here, I only use my phone as a key even when my old Tesla had two key fobs. I never used the fobs and only used them to give to someone when they were working on my car. I wouldn’t use my watch for a key only since I always have my phone with me but it would be a good backup.

I trust the Tesla phone as a key 100% since I have NEVER had a problem with it to drive even when the phone wouldn’t connect to the car for some reason and it has done that a few times recently even after a reboot of the car and phone.

With my old BMW I just didn’t trust my phone only as a key and always had the fob on me.

Then it’s not real world ready if one ventures out with just the Apple Watch. Probably best to keep the back up card.

I think Jill just selectively chooses not to understand. No other explanation unless you live in a cave....

My AppleWatch (cellular) has been gradually morphing into a primary device the past couple years. Leave iPhone at home all the time. Curiously.... when I erased my iPhone to send it to Apple for repair I no longer had access to my credit cards with AppleWatch, nor receive text. Still make and receive calls.AppleWatch is not as independent as I thought .

interesting . Lots of people are unaware there is Apple Watch and Apple Watch with cellular.

you do not need a phone or wifi or cellular or bluetooth to use an apple watch to pay for stuff. it uses NFC and basically acts as a credit card. it might be that if a merchant doesn’t support apple pay it doesn’t work.
