Apple Watch 6 fall detection false-positives

Every day when I carefully put on my socks, sitting, standing, or leaning against the wall, I am asked if I am OK and whether I have fallen. Is there any way to adjust the fall-detection function so it is not so sensitive? I'm 74 years old and am beginning to be a little unsteady, so I bought this Apple Watch Series 6 for that reason, but it has never detected a real fall, but I get a lot of false positives. Seems like an expensive experiment if it doesn't work.

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8
