Crash detection


If you’re involved in a car accident (Lord forbid), the Apple Watch will go into crash detection mode. Its array of sensors, including a 3-axis gyroscope and a new g-force accelerometer (“with the highest dynamic range of any smartwatch,” according to Apple), will spring into action with a microphone, barometer, and GPS coordination. And pulling the strings of it all is a sensor fusion algorithm based on millions of hours of driving and crash data from the real world. The result? When it senses you’re in a crash, the Series 8 watch chimes and taps your wrist and displays a message (“Looks like you’re in a crash!”) and an emergency call slider. It waits 20 seconds for you to respond, and if you don’t, it automatically calls the emergency services as well as any emergency contacts you’ve added. One thing to note is that this feature only works with cars and not with other vehicles. Another thing to note is that it actually works and is turned on by default. In fact, it’s effective enough to send off alarms from roller coaster ridesSo if you’re heading to some crashy amusement park, put the Watch Series 8 in airplane mode.

Fall detection

Fall detection has been a feature of the Apple Watch for a while now, and it’s coming to the Series 8 as well. Excellent sensors that detect crashes also play a role in detecting when you’ve fallen hard. When the Apple Watch Series 8 detects that you’ve had a hard fall and haven’t moved for a minute, it taps your wrist, sounds an alarm, displays a message (“Looks like you’ve had a hard fall”), and gives you the option to indicate you’re okay or make an emergency call. If you don’t respond, it will try to call emergency messages. The feature is enabled by default if you enter your age on the watch and are older than 55. You should enable it otherwise. It’s as simple as going to Settings on your Apple Watch Series 8, going to SOS, and turning on Fall Detection. Note that the feature won’t work if you turn off wrist detection. In a nice touch, fall detection is optimized while you work!

By default, if your Apple Watch Series 8 detects that your heart rate is above or below certain points (you can change this in the Apple Watch app) for 10 minutes, it will send you an alert, letting you know that your heart rate is on the high or low side. So the next time you feel your heart racing and tapping on your wrist, check your Apple Watch Series 8. It will save your life.

Laboratory. The Series 8 can also produce an ECG similar to a single-lead electrocardiogram. Not only does it generate an ECG with a gesture as simple as placing your finger on the crown for 30 seconds, it can also detect irregular heart rhythms that could be a sign of atrial fibrillation.

Recording it is as easy as opening the option on the watch and keeping your wrist still for 15 seconds!

One of the worst scenarios for anyone is getting lost, especially in an area where you don’t have a chance to ask for directions.
