Apple Watch Sport sets off security alarms in shops

[GmDude66]

I have been in an out of hundreds of stores with my AW and NEVER set the first alarm off!

Same here... nothing

Interesting that there's now an iPhone user reporting similar issues:
Setting off store alarms

Like Dr. Frankenstein's monster, thread reanimates!

It's been some time since I've read the work, but at what point does the monster come alive, die, and then reanimate?

The threads are both discussion Apple products randomly setting off security alarms; I wouldn't think I'd have to explain the connection, but there it is.

Happened to me at Lowes yesterday. I can only assume it was the watch or the iPhone but more likely the watch since I have been in and out of Lowes zillions of times without issue with my iPhone. Just got the watch last week and it happened. Never thought it could be the watch but it makes sense since I had nothing else that could have set it off.

My iPhone set off some alarms as well. Turning on airplane mode and off again fixed it. Hasn't happened since.
