On the Apple Watch app, when you go to pairing, there is an option to line up your watch with the viewfinder...

how many people tried to trick it by holding up an image of the watch??

That's a gimmick to make sure people keep the watch in good Bluetooth range for pairing. Tile does the same thing.

I was wondering if that actually did anything. It might if the Apple watch displays a barcode or something.
