Apple Watch fall detection. I believe it’s only fully effective if an iPhone is nearby.

  I'm not sure that's the case (see [1]): Fall Detection requires a satellite connection, cellular connection, or Wi-Fi Calling with an internet connection from your Apple Watch or nearby iPhone. You can use cellular models of Apple Watch to make an emergency call in many locations, provided that cellular service is available. If an iPhone is indeed required even if your Apple Watch has a cellular connection, then that's just a lock-in "feature".
