Abstract
A method controls access to at least one confidential datum archived in a memory element of a watch. The memory element includes general data and confidential data, the access to which by a function of the watch requires the wearer of the watch to be identified. The method includes authenticating the wearer to grant access to the functions of the watch, selecting one of the functions of the watch requiring the use of at least one of the confidential data or general data archived in the memory element, determining the category to which the at least one datum required by the function belongs, verifying the identity of the wearer based on an interaction between the wearer and a graphical representation included in the watch, and authorizing use of the at least one confidential datum by the function when the identity of the wearer has been verified.
