Crash detection is one of those features you forget about having on your watch or phone, but it makes a huge impact when it’s needed.
Yeah, I almost upgraded my watch just for the crash detection. Now m thinking about that again but it seems a shame to replace my series 6 so soon
These are the sorts of features that I am always wholeheartedly on-board with. Ones that work in the background with little to no input that work when required to improve the user’s everyday lives.
After recently finding out that my mother knocked herself unconscious some time ago while she was alone and woke up after almost half an hour had past I’m tempted to buy her an Apple Watch for some peace of mind. To be clear, it’s not a small purchase for me just as a gift but she’s recently had a couple of falls as well so it’s getting concerning.
You might also try a more conventional LifeAlert necklace or something. I had briefly considered Apple Watch for my Mom, but she wouldn’t be able to use it. Even with the alert necklace, she keeps taking it off to shower when that’s where she really needs to wear it
