Feature Request: Improve security for stolen/robbed smartphones

Hey Guys, I am thinking about the security of 1password. Sometimes when I use 1Password in public I am think - oh dear, I am using 1Password no - if someone grabs my phone out of my hands he has full access.
So following usecase: I open 1password app in public, e.g. in bus or train. A thief is grabbing my phone while it's unlocked with 1Password App and runs away. He has full access to the database and all the secret items. Or I accidentally drop while 1Password is unlocked and someone takes it.
Feature Request: 1Password should use the gyroscope sensor to monitor and detect phone drops on flor or "fast" movements of the device. When this is physical "signature movement" is detected, 1Password will lock the App automatically - so a thieve would not have access to the secrets.
Other options to improve security (if this is even possible): monitor connection to an Apple Watch or other smartwatch - when 1password is open and unlocked and the connection to that device gets lost during using 1Password unlocked, the App should automatically lock. So at least a thieve would need the master password or biometrics to unlock it again.
