Well, me and my family was in a car crash today. We are fine, nobody got seriously hurt, no broken bones, nothing thank god. We didnt pass out or anything, but my Apple watch instantly detected the crash and wanted to call 112 (emergency services) but we didnt need it. If we wouldve had a worse crash i think it would have saved my and my familys life today. This is why its worth the couple extra bucks for the apple tbh.

Unless you were in the middle of nowhere, where nobody would possibly see your crash I fail to see how useful the watch would be.

Did the watch “want” to call emergency services or prompted you? Because if you’re in a crash and unconscious it’s not very useful if doesn’t do it automatically.

It asks if you need it to call emergency and if after a few seconds you don’t chose the option to cancel, it calls automatically.
