How to set the Apple Watch to delete all data after 10 incorrect code entries

Each of us has precious data stored in all smart devices. This data can, for example, take the form of photos, notes, some documents, etc. We're not going to lie, probably none of us would want anyone to be able to access this data. Despite the fact that the security of Apple devices is really high, from time to time there is a procedure that can be used (most often) to break the code lock using the brute-force method. Of course, most personal data is found on the iPhone, but some is also available on the Apple Watch. That's also why there is an option within watchOS, with which all data can be deleted after 10 incorrect code entries. How to activate this feature?

Now, if someone enters the wrong passcode ten times in a row on your locked Apple Watch, all data will be erased to prevent misuse. However, it should be noted that this function is not suitable for everyone. For example, if you have a child who plays with your Apple Watch from time to time, you risk unintentional data deletion. So definitely think before you activate this function so you don't regret it later.
