Unless I’m missing a setting, the watch doesn’t unlock without a pin. It locks when it loses contact with the wrist.

Also, are you suggesting WiFi from the hotel covered not only the front of but the depths of the embassy?

The setting is in the Watch app. It’s Passcode > Unlock with iPhone. It used to be pretty hit or miss, but with the new OSes it’s worked really consistently.

And I’m not really suggesting anything about the WiFi. I know remarkably little about the network infrastructure in foreign hotels and embassies. Just that there are mechanism in iOS that could feasibly make this possible, rather than immediately jumping to a Turkish surveillance cover up.

You know, Occam’s razor and all that jazz.
