The CERT-In advisory states that the users should apply ‘appropriate patches’ released by Apple Security updates. They can get remote access to these vulnerabilities by specially-crafted request. The warning page mentioned that these vulnerabilities can give remote access of the targeted device to the attackers who can then ‘execute arbitrary code and bypass security restrictions on the targeted device’. “These vulnerabilities exist in Apple watch due to buffer overflow in Apple AVD component an authorization issue in Apple Mobile File Integrity component out-of-bounds write in Audio, ICU and WebKit component type confusion in Multi-Touch component Multiple out-of-bounds write and memory corruption in GPU Drivers component out-of-bounds read in Kernel component and memory initialization in libxml2 component”, noted CERT-In explaining the reasons for flaws. In an advisory issued on July 22, the central team has urged the Apple Watch users to update their devices to Apple’s latest update - WatchOS 8.7 to fix the security threat. The CERT-in said that the vulnerabilities if exploited 'can cause severe harm as device becomes easier targets for attackers'. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) under the ministry of electronics and information technology has issued a warning of high severity level to all the Apple watch users about vulnerabilities present in the operating system versions prior to 8.7.

If you are an Apple watch user, then the warning issued by the Centre should concern you.
