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.

The crash/fall detection has never worked for me. I do have it turned on, but the two times I think it should have gone off it didn’t.

Every time I’ve fallen (usually playing sports) it’s gone off. So I haven’t had it not go off when it should, but I have had it go off many times when it shouldn’t. I work in an auto shop, so I’m occasionally hitting things pretty hard. Goes off at least once a day at work, sometimes twice. I want to turn it off, but who knows, maybe it’ll actually come in handy some day
