I talked my mom into upgrading to the Apple Watch Series 4 specifically for the fall detection feature. On her 2nd day of owning it, she already had a false trigger and is ready to turn the feature off.
The "fall" was actually just her taking the watch off, and setting it down on a counter.
Shouldn't the watch be able to detect if it is even being worn when monitoring for falls???
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5
I am also finding false fall positives on my Series 4 - and it is repeatable.
First, I have triggered fall detection multiple times when in putting on the watch, it slips out of my hand as I am putting it on. It falls to the floor and triggers fall detection.
Second, the Watch repeatably will trigger fall detection when I am gesturing during making presentations.
You clearly know nothing about the movement of the arm and wrist when you chop garlic. The movement is so trivial it's absurd. that it sets the fall alarm off.
