Given the consensus understanding of physics and gravity, it did. It just so happened that it was attached to a larger thing that also fell, and the larger thing likely either knows it and can comprehend this message trivially, or does not and summoning help is the proper action to take.

- airstrike 4y agoSorry, but that's just a pedantic take when we're discussing what is the best UI /UX for wearers to know how to instinctively react in a possibly stressful moment. You have to solve for the lowest common denominator, not the hacker's technically correct preference. This ain't about the watch falling, it's about someone possibly needing to call emergency services and contacts when they're hurt. "I'm OK" is a great prompt in that context, even if it's not an explicitly accurate response to whether the watch or wearer fell (which in turn is why the focus is not on the fall but on their need for help).
- Hackbraten 4y agoThere also must be some joke about special relativity hidden in that wearer-and-their-watch-falling incident.
- hunter2_ 4y ago> the larger thing likely either knows [about the fall] and can comprehend this message trivially, or does not and summoning help is the proper action to take. You did say "likely" but to provide an example: skiers who know they fell cannot comprehend the message trivially (not having noticed it's existence) and summoning help is often not the proper action to take. Call centers serving ski towns are swamped with false positives due to this issue.
