Can a smartwatch save your life? In this video, I break down how Apple Watch fall detection, Garmin incident detection, and safety features on Android watches like the Google Pixel Watch actually work in real-life situations. From satellite SOS to live tracking and medical ID sharing, I go through the facts so you know what to expect.
I take a close look at the Apple Watch Ultra with its 24/7 fall detection, satellite SOS for emergencies, and features like a siren and car crash detection. I also cover Garmin’s incident detection and track back navigation, including how it works (and doesn’t) with Garmin inReach. Plus, I explain what Android watches, like the Google Pixel Watch, offer for safety when you’re off the grid.
If you’re trying to decide which smartwatch is better for your safety needs, this video will give you a clear comparison of the pros and cons of each. Watch now to see which one might make the most sense for you.
