Yes. Monitoring falls is not tied to the cellular reception.


What it may have trouble doing is placing an emergency call if the wearer falls and does not respond.


The watch will detect the fall, but the call may not be able to go out. If its connected to Wi-fi and the carrier supports it, it can use Wi-fi Calling for calls instead of cellular.
