There are many among us who don't really treat security with the importance that it deserves. Mainly because we are above the two extra seconds that you require to place a pin or a lock pattern. However, with the smartwatch on your wrist, there is now a smart option where your phone will take the decision. Get the Delayed Lock app, check "Delayed Lock enabled", check "Admin permission granted" and select "Activate" on the next screen, and later pair the wearable to it.

Speak to Your Smartwatch

Speak to Your Smartwatch

You can see a menu of simple tasks on your watch, and anything in this list can also be said aloud. Similar to the way you can dim the smartwatch on your wrist by placing your hand over it, just say "Ok Google" or touch anywhere on the background of the screen and you'll see a white screen with a red "g". Later, touch again anywhere on the screen to see a menu of things you can do.
