DIY surveillance state

Despite some less than glowing reviews, it looks like the apple watch will soon become the must-have in wearable electronics.  Besides usurping many of the functions of smart phones, the watch will also have the ability to make restaurants aware of our arrival and usher us to a table without human intervention.  Other functions will include monitoring of fitness, reminders of appointments and even telling time.  I have a feeling the latter would be my main use of the watch, but for tech geeks and the younger generation it will connect them to the world in a way that is presaged by things like the Disneyworld bands that inform the rides you are there and the restaurants you have arrived.  Of course that connection can be exploited by the government and large corporations (not to mention Apple).  When everything you do and everywhere you go is recorded on the watch what secrets can you possibly have?   Paul Krugman likens the watch to the servants of the rich.  The rich, as the British aristocracy of the last century, are surrounded by those who know all their secrets, but are paid to keep them.  Will the apple watch be the servant of the merely affluent, and if so, will it keep their secrets?
