Neither. The US’ wars in both places predate general availability “smart” devices by quite some time.

There were devices like black berries and tmobile sidekick, and gps trackers from garmin (etc) but I think the incidents you were referring to happened much later (2018 vs 2001/2002).

The issue with the watch is the data is publicly available (social aspect) and requires no effort on the other side to figure out.
