The latest wearable from Apple – Apple Watch Series 4 is a case in point.

Emergency Feature

  • In an event of misfortune, if you fall the watch does the following to detect if you’ve actually fallen, tripped or slipped while wearing it:
    • Taps you on the wrist.
    • Sounds an alarm.
    • Displays a hard-fall alert.
  • You can choose to contact emergency services or dismiss the alert by tapping “I fell, but I’m OK” or by scrolling down and tapping “I did not fall.”

Apple Watch Screen

In case you want to call emergency services, drag the Emergency SOS slider in the alert. Apple Watch will instantly make the call if it finds that you did not move for more than a minute.

On the other hand, if it finds you’re moving, the watch will not make a call (Selected countries and regions have multiple emergency service numbers. So, for such countries, Apple Watch will call the number associated with ambulance services).
