I wonder if the fall has to happen in combination with some other health metrics that it senses? Does there even need to be a falling down? What if you have a heart attack while you’re strapped into your parked car and you don’t fall? Does it call then?
- djrogers 7y agoIt alarms (rather loudly for a tiny watch) and taps you vigorously asking if you're ok before calling. You have plenty of time to cancel the call to emergency services before it's made.
