This is so hard to believe that I simply don't. Either the user had a bad digitizer, and misread and/or hallucinated the "We are in control" message, or the entire story is made up. Perhaps a group of people working together to post "Hey me too!" stories? I'm not sure what the motive would be, though. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and this is beyond believability.
I don't know what the catalyst for this was, but a lot of 20 years olds and younger seem to use the word hacked so casually. I read it all the time, "my insta was hacked", etc. I would really like to know if hacking is as common as it is reported rather than a successful phishing campaign, a simple issue of forgotten password or getting locked out of email, account ban for rule violation, or something else entirely u…
One of the posters posted a video of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6dazJk9AtU It seems like the ghost touch issue, and not actual hacking.

> I don't know what the catalyst for this was, but a lot of 20 years olds and younger seem to use the word hacked so casually. It is a mechanism of shifting responsibility. If your password is "1234" and you gave it away to a totally legit MS support center employee that called you recently because MS has detected that your iPhone has a virus, then it is on you. But if North Korean hackers compromised your watch via…

It's pretty obviously fake. A bunch of "level 1" (new) users, all with the same story? They literally mention the exact time & date in the same style, and mention the 1-minute lockout in the same way as well. Two of them use the same timestamp even, down to the minute. Also, something I noticed working for large orgs with over 100K staff and 1M users: An appreciable fraction of the human population is simply mentally…

Typing „we are in control“ would go beyond the ghost touch issue, if we believe the first reporter.

In my case I was waking up to my watch using itself. It changed contacts, added locations in maps, placed and cancelled two calls to emergency services and more. I then made the mistake of taking it off my wrist. Now the screen is locked and the watch will continue to enter wrong PINs, locking itself for more time every time. You can’t shut it down - the watch will start to type and dismiss the shutdown dialog (or call 911 again!).
I haven’t gotten around to taking it to an Apple Store and have returned to my Garmin watch.

I have the same issue. It’s clearly a bug and maybe both the funniest and most serious one I’ve ever had to deal with. In my case I was waking up to my watch using itself.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
and it typed "We are in control"? Very unlikely.
Not as unlikely as one might think. The random inputs, after unlocking the watch with a passcode, might hit the messages app if that is set up as a complication. Then something similar to we are in control is written (drawn letter by letter), which might autocorrect to what OP in TFA saw. Apple autocorrect can come up with some wild sentence constructions.
