Fall detection did NOT work
I have the latest Apple Watch, 7 I believe. One of the main reasons for my purchase was fall detection. I hike and I’m a long distance runner, often alone.
on April 10th, 2023 I took a hard fall; concussion, broken bones etc. my watch did not detect my fall. I was lucky someone from a nearby business saw me and called 911. Yes, my settings are correct. It actually went off while I was clapping at a race!
I see this is a problem for a lot of people. Now I’m nervous that I’ve had a false sense of security. What’s the fix? How can I test this? Very unsettling and expensive.
