fall detection not working on my series 7

Had 2 falls recently and my apple watch did not beep, or react. I purchased this specifically for the fall detection and i do not think it is working. could the watch be defective?

Please make sure Fall Detection is enabled on your Apple Watch before calling Apple Support to see if it's defective.


On your iPhone's Watch App:

  1. Scroll down and tap Emergency SOS
  2. Make sure Fall Detection is toggled on


On your Apple Watch:

  1. Open Settings
  2. Scroll down and tap on SOS
  3. Tap on Fall Detection
  4. Make sure it's Enabled


Fall Detection can be setup to always be on or only on during workouts! Be sure you click the setting that works best for you!
