To be honest if I saw that popup I'd think my watch was hacked and not do anything before I figure out what that endpoint is used for.

I think someone else having come to a similar conclusion but having the know how to research what the URL is supposed to do is realistic based on the title. Can't fault somebody for that.

It's not a popup, it's the message you get when you open the music app.

To quote the OP of that post:

Just to update y'all, I got the 45mm and loving it so far! However I haven't been able to use Amazon Music on it. I attached a picture of the weird error I get.

If the popup came out of nowhere, or in an unrelated app, I could see how it could be interpreted as a scamming attempt.
