Do any of the Garmin devices self activate? You can configure mine to automatically drop pins on the map every few minutes/hours but it won't signal for an emergency unless you hit the button and confirm on the prompt. The button is behind a rubber stopper to prevent accidental activation, without being completely careless you can't kick it off by accident.

Edit: But you're right, it's not a perfect analogue.
