I couldn't agree more. For the "privilege" of paying for an additional cellular line MONTHLY and for a much more expensive Apple watch, over the 3+ years I've had my watch, I'd say its performance record looks something like this:
- % of times that the alarm DIDN'T GO OFF when I HAVE fallen is >90%
- % of times that the alarm DID GO OFF when I HAVEN'T fallen is also >90%
Shortly after I got the watch and began to realize how USELESS it was, I took it back to the Verizon store where I purchased it and, after 15-20 minutes of fumbling around with it, the "technician" said he couldn't find anything wrong and suggested I send it directly to Apple's Technical Service Department (or whatever it's called). I did that. A couple of weeks later, my watch was returned with a note that said they could find nothing wrong and the watch was working as designed. Further, they added that the watch was not designed to work on all fall scenarios.
Until I find a better solution, I still wear it, figuring a 10% chance of saving my life is better than nothing. If anyone knows of a good app to address this situation, or, a different device altogether, please let me know.
