Is fall detection worth the Apple Watch price?

Question

Accepted Answer

For seniors living alone, yes — it is potentially life-saving. A fall with no one around to help can be fatal if emergency services are not called quickly. The Apple Watch detects the fall, waits 60 seconds for you to respond, then automatically calls 911 and shares your location. This alone justifies the investment for seniors at fall risk.
