I'm not suggesting a first party would do it, but say a platform akin to Pebble, Apple Watch or Android Wear were to enable an app like that to be developed. What part would be illegal then - the device itself? The app? The app store? Restricting this seems somewhere between asinine and impossible.

Illegal would be such an device with that software installed.

We restrict many things that are hard to enforce but this is not a reason to refuse to try at all.
