Google Pixel Watch Gets Life-Saving Fall Detection Feature: All Details Here

News 18  

When Google launched its Pixel Watch in October of last year, the reception was mixed. While some issues like subpar battery life and occasional bugs were to blame, the lack of safety features like ‘fall detection’ also played a significant role. Despite previously announcing a winter 2023 rollout, Google has kept its promise and made the feature available to users—bringing the Pixel Watch in line with what Apple and Samsung have to offer. Like Apple and Samsung’s popular smartwatches, the Pixel Watch utilizes motion sensors to detect if the wearer has taken a hard fall. And, if there is still no response—the Pixel Watch will automatically call emergency services and send an automated message—requesting help to your location.
