Something to add to your Christmas list!

The Apple 4 and above have fall indicators! If you fall, your watch will ask you if Siri should call your pre-programmed emergency contact or 911. If you do not respond within 30 seconds, 911 is called. That’s a present I’m getting for myself! Just waiting for Black Friday!

What a great idea, MaryAZ I might just put that one on my wish list. Thank you

[MaryAZ in reply to carolek572]

I’ll let you know when I get one!

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to MaryAZ]

And I will do the same as well!

That is so cool! Def want one of those!

[MaryAZ in reply to Midgey_Midge06]

It’s not cheap but it’s cheaper than an ambulance ride or ER visit.

[Midgey_Midge06 in reply to MaryAZ]

They have them on amazon for $200

Even though I feel a little creepy about most technology, that sounds like a great idea! Thank you for telling everyone about it.

You’re welcome!

That’s over $800 dollars in the U.K., I had better be good to Santa 😂

Wow! We have really good sales around Thanksgiving. In the US, the Friday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 29, is called Black Friday (why? Have no clue!) but they have really awesome sales that day. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t budge too much on their pricing. Good luck!

I worked retail when I was young. I can guess it was named by someone working in a store!

A good friend wears one. She loves it! It does many other things as well, like track her heart rate and steps walked. Now, if it could only go to the market and cook dinner...

[MaryAZ in reply to goatgal]

And clean house!

I have had the Apple 5 watch for a while now, my wife and children insisted that I buy one for the “fall down App”. It works! It also learns by asking you if you’ve fallen or not and if you need assistance. I bought the model with the cellular feature because I forget my phone a lot. I can still get my share of telemarking and Spam calls. Whew, what a relief.

I recommend it for the MS crowd, it’s pricey, but not getting help when you’ve fallen can be much more expensive in so many ways. I wish the insurance companies would see the benefits and cover some or all of the cost.

Thanks for real time info! I’m waiting for Black Friday sales!

[mrsmike9]

Cool! When I started reading I thought you were going to say that it would ask if you fell! Well, duh...I would know!

It's cool that there is something like that which is automatic and not the button, "I've fallen and I can't get up!"

there was a news story about it a month ago about man who fell down a cliff and his watch called 911 and they were able to find him. The watch didn't ask if it could call it just did it. He had broken his leg and had a cracked rib
