fall detection too, i think it's on by default when a workout is detected

[–] DKplus9@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I thought fall detection was only on by default if the wearer is over a certain age like 65.

I think there are two types of detection. Fall detection and risk of falling alerts. I have the fall detection only turned on while in a workout. I have the 2nd gen SE. You can also turn it off completely.

Mine is on all the time. I’ve had it go off several times when I’ve been hot at work!

Hit at work?

[–] steeldragon88@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Nope, it’s active all the time, and likes to go off if I reach down to pick something up too quickly at work

You can turn it off though, I’ve got mine set so fall detection is on while doing a workout.

[–] steeldragon88@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks, I never realized it was possible to.

Nope this is false, you can turn it off or even set it to on during workouts.

Open the Apple Watch App, go to Emergency SOS, and then you can toggle it from there.
