Any device designed for Bitcoin users has strong incentives to operate maliciously—whether it’s a watch, a hardware wallet, a software wallet, or a dildo.

In this regard, Greg Maxwell is right: use general-purpose hardware and software that has been reviewed by thousands of pairs of eyes, such as Bitcoin Core.
