Although many people may know this function, as it was also implemented in the iPhone, a lot will ignore it, and it is something that could reach save our livesand we do not say it as an exaggeration, but in a real way, having already happened, many times.
Before a road accidentmany things can occur that prevent us Apple Watch It is the tool we need, we are, or not, aware, and that is the key.
Detection and notice of accidents at the Apple Watch
From the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra, Apple incorporated a function called “Accident detection“That has proven to be more useful than it seemed at first. Thanks to a combination of advanced sensors such as the high -end gyroscope, the strength of force G, the GPS and the microphone, the clock is able to detect if you have suffered a serious traffic accident. Apple does not specify what is serious, but we understand that at a sufficient speed to produce damage.
When this happens, The clock issues an intense vibration, a sound alert and shows on screen a message with a back count. If in those second you do not answer, will automatically call emergency services and will share your exact location with them. You will also send a notice to your registered emergency contacts. In case it is not serious, and do not want the warning to give, you can cancel it without any problem from the screen.
It is not necessary to activate anything manually, it is enabled by default, although you can check it on your iPhone entering the app Watch> Emergency SOS> Accident detectionjust in case you have modified it unintentionally. If you have a compatible model, we recommend you always leave it activated, because you never know when you can need, and, as we said, if it is falsely activated, you can disable it.
Of course, you can Configure emergency contactswhich is also very useful, since if, for example, your friend, with whom you have confidence, receives an accident alert and coordinates, although it trusts that the emergency services know, you can call and notify him too, if he does not receive an answer from you, since, as we said at first, this is a good tool, since it works even if you are unconscious, being when you need it more.
And you, did you know this? The iPhone also incorporates it from the last models, however, sometimes, by the type of device, it is easier to communicate with something that we have attached to the body, especially in an accident that we do not know if the iPhone will be close, broken, etc., while, these Apple Watch models, which allow to call and have a microphone and speaker, are somewhat more useful and that we should keep in the wrist. Leave us a comment if you have ever tried it, although we hope we don't need anyone.
