Locking your phone and Lockdown Mode are drastically different things.

One shortcoming of lockdown mode, as far as I can tell: you can pair your phone and watch so locking your phone will lock your watch as well, but you can’t do the reverse. It seems more likely that a hostile party would get access to your phone while you still (temporarily) have control of your watch, so being able to lock your phone from your watch would be extremely useful.

That seems like a very simple problem to just not need to worry about.
Just don’t buy a smartwatch.

It’s not that the watch is an added vulnerability (there’s little info accessible via the watch once the phone is locked)—it’s just a missed opportunity.
