Apple Watch Fall Detection

My Apple Watch series 9, running is 10.6.1 does not fall detect. This is the primary reason I overspent on this watch. Twice now, full fall down accidents, and no fall notification at all. How do I fix this? I have reset watch and phone, turned fall detect off and back on, restarted them too and nothing.

This article clearly states “Apple Watch cannot detect all falls.”

That same notification appears when you turn on Fall Detection.


However, you can still start an Emergency SOS call as follows:
