Yes, the cheating is undoubtedly more important than the devices involved. The Red Sox could have swiped pitching cues using CB radios and it would still have been relevant. If the scoop is true, however, this might be a classic case of a device becoming so synonymous with a category that people don't realize there are alternatives. Just as every game console is "a Nintendo" to some people, someone in the pipeline may have assumed that the wearable was an Apple Watch just because it had a touchscreen.
