its to ensure that if someone steals your watch, your data can't easily be accessed (eg. google wallet etc)

Yeah okay that sounds actually reasonable. But why the reset? Also getting access by stealing a thing sounds like a huge security flaw to me (2FA and such).

idk why the reset was necessary, it's really annoying
