Whether you’re prone to occasionally take a tumble, or it’s something you’ve never really had to deal with, the latest Pixel Watch update adds a critical safety feature that every Pixel Watch owner should turn on. Actually, I’d go as far as saying that Google should enable the feature by default.
The new Fall Detection feature uses a combination of sensors in the Watch to detect when whoever is wearing it falls. The wearer then receives an alert on the Watch asking if they’re alright, and depending on the answer — or worst case scenario, non-answer — the watch will contact emergency services and get help.
