Apple Watch Crash/fall detection crying "wolf'!

My apple watch Ultra sends crash detections when I have it packed in a suitcase while traveling via air. Today it did it while I was walking my dog - -can I turn down the sensitivity? If not I'll just turn it off - which seems to defeat the purpose. My daughter and wife started out worried and are now rolling their eyes because it happens so often

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 9

  1. You can turn off crash detection Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Go to SOS > Crash Detection, then turn off Call After Severe Crash.


I would recommend that when you put the watch in a suitcase.

Turning down sensitivity is not possible, but you can try and restart your watch to see if the issues persist
