I bet this is a great feature (and I do have an Apple Watch), but can we please hold for a sec here? This piece reads like an Ad. Furthermore, many comments here are about "I want to see my kids grow up". Now please, calculate the odds of:
- you are in a terrible accident
- there is no one around you to call an ambulance
- you can’t call an ambulance yourself, because you are knocked out or can’t move
I think the odds for such an event are rather low. If you like smart watches, sure, go ahead and buy one. But for everybody who just wants to wear it because they are afraid: I don’t think it’s necessary for most people, unless you ride around alone in remote areas and are inexperienced or whatever.
My point is: don’t buy because of fear if your risk profile is super incredibly low.
