Fall detection function not limited to Apple Watch
According to Apple, models under Series 4 or later can detect hard falls.
When a hard fall is detected, it will tap the user on their wrist, sound an alarm, and show an alert.
The watch will not alert emergency services if it detects movement from the user.
However, if the user is immobile for at least one minute, the device will automatically call the emergency contacts and send a message to them. It will also call for an ambulance.
Several smart watches have this function, including the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and a few Garmin Watch models.
