Hacker attack via phone possible?

[Cameo]

It occured to me that a smart watch with WiFi could be vulnerable to hacker
attack, but I have not read about the subject yet. Have you?

Your subject says "phone".
Your para above is "smart watch"?

Plausible but not likely. I suppose there may be a paper out there with
some edge case that it can be done.

The Apple Watch WiFi uses the same security models as other Apple
devices. And Apple watches are "satellites" of the iPhone that they are
paired to. (The watch can get its data from the web directly or via the
phone depending on the data source).
