Does fall detection work when in Sleep mode, Water Lock or Schooltime?

It was the middle of the night when I fell when going to get water. My apple watch was locked in the sleep mode thing with the Digital Crown rotation to unlock. Well, fall detection didn’t do anything. I was fine, but I kept still to see if anything will happen. And nothing happened.


Does fall detection detect falls when in all these lock modes such as Sleep mode, Water lock and Schooltime?


Apple Watch SE, watchOS 7

Hi tudor5808,


Thanks for reaching out here in the Apple Support Communities. We're very glad that you are fine after falling, and we see that a hard fall was not detected. We're glad to help.


Make sure that fall detection is enabled (there are certain instances where it will not enable automatically), and check out the various reasons why and why not a fall may not be detected:

Manage fall detection on Apple Watch (Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 4 and later only) - Apple Support


Use fall detection with Apple Watch - Apple Support


Take Care.
