Can I customize Apple Watch Fall Detection settings?

Fall detection is sensitive to my normal daily activities, like doing yard work, exercising or playing sports. Can Apple please delay the 911 call through for another couple seconds to give people enough time to respond and cancel the call? Or at least make the “X” (cancel) button a little larger for those of us with bigger fingers/hands? Please

No. There are no customizations.


Not past (presumably) (maybe) age and any related built-in adjustments.

Hard to cancel while wearing gloves, too. And I too have certain activities that can routinely trigger fall detection.
