Smartwatches come with all sorts of extra features these days. From counting your steps to ensuring you get a good night’s sleep, they can do a lot in everyday life. Now, Google Pixel Watch helps you even in the event of a bad fall.

The fall detection feature has rolled out to all Google Pixel Watch devices and uses motion sensors combined with machine learning to know when you’ve been in a particularly bad crash. He will then give you 30 seconds to respond before calling the emergency services.

During those 30 seconds, you can tap one of the two options on Google Pixel Watch. One tells the watch that everything is fine even if it has been dropped, while the other will allow it to connect to emergency services more quickly.

While this is certainly not a new idea, and the latest Apple and Samsung Galaxy Watches have already included some form of fall detection, it still puts the Google Pixel Watch ahead of another Google smartwatch in the Fitbit, which holds its own. gradually. in terms of functionality.
