- It claimed Saudis were able to unlock Khashoggi's watch using his fingerprints (the watch uses a passcode)
- Apple Watch does not have cellular functionality in Turkey -- e.g. how did the recorded data get onto iCloud?
Here's another actual news source covering it, rather than the entertainment show the op linked to: https://uk.reuters.com/article/saudi-politics-dissident/turk...
They say that the watch was linked to a phone that he left outside (with his fiancee, who could easily have his unlock code)
I don't know the range of the apple watch - phone connection - is it bluetooth or wireless? It's feasible that wireless could have been synced at some point, perhaps when the watch was removed from the embassy.

If that's the case then yes, it's feasible the watch could still communicate with his iPhone, which was being held by his fiancee outside. In ideal conditions, of course.
