The apple watch actually saved my life: Here's how

Kacie was trapped in her car after a near fatal wreck, Toralv fell and hit his head in the middle of the night, Jason was dangerously close to having a heart attack and Heather would've never known she was sick if it wasn't for her Apple Watch. Hear them tell their stories.

Mine saved my life too... I was on my bike at night when a car hit me violently before running away. I passed out and the apple watch detected that I had a fall and called 911 with my location. The ambulance arrived on time and today I'm standing on my 2 legs

I was in a car crash in Dublin City about 9 months ago. It was pretty bad! The car was destroyed and it happened on a crossroad. A taxi ran a broken set of traffic lights. So two cars were destroyed and not a single car stopped!
Same thing for me, it was my first day in the office after the pandemic and my watch kept on beeping because my heart rate was elevated and I have to rush to the hospital and it turns out I have hyperthyroidism and high-blood pressure.
I had a bike accident last year and I was laying unconscious on the ground for nearly an hour and thank god for the Apple Watch fall detection it send an SOS text & my location to my parents and they are able to find me. I always use the Apple Watch as a sport device but I can't believe it really save my life and I even got it as a Christmas present for my parents after that incident.
Apple Watch series 5 told me last November that my heart was in atrial fibrillation. I called my cardiologist's office and had a scan which showed I was in afib.

I have had high and low heart rate notifications from my Apple Watch. Also the noise notifications and hearing health has been very helpful.

@@francescoschettino5726 The same thing happened to me and I am 26. It happened to me during Ramadan while fasting and I was a month post-Covid. At the same time, my mother was having her 3rd surgery which was very life-threatening and I was the eldest of all my siblings, my father was in Bahrain and could not come because of covid lockdown so all the major responsibility was on my shoulders. What was causing the rapid heartbeat? Well, my doctors(after doing all the necessary tests) indicated I had high levels of Anxiety even my physician scolded me for this that I am just 26 and should not be having this level of Anxiety. After everything went well with the surgery and all, I started focusing on my stress levels which eventually brought my heart rate down. You should not be having heart issues even in your 30s it's just stress that is causing all that. Hope my experience helps you.
I'm about to update my apple watch bc I've done an EKG and found out I had an irregular heart beat a few years ago. I'm also now asthmatic and anemic ...my stepmom just had emergency open heart surgery a few months ago out of nowhere. Heart disease is no joke!

I've been experiencing a significant issues with my Apple Watch series 6, specifically when it comes to Siri. Whenever I wash my hands or have a shower, Siri activates without me saying ' Hey Siri' and not pressing the Digital Crown. Unfortunately my wrist is not that flexible to suggest that it's pressing against the crown. Furthermore, Siri ( on my watch) randomly activates when I am having a conversation on the phone or with someone face to face. Those conversations do not include phrases ' hey Siri'. I have uploaded an example of Siri activating to the sound of running water, on my channel. Appreciate any views ?

The Apple Watch is not certified or able to warn you or detect a heart attack, because that requires a more sophisticated multi lead EKG approach and interpretation. The FDA doesn’t approve that except for medical grade or hospital grade devices like an EKG machine and certain types of blood test, only useable by techs and doctors to interpret. Learn the warning signs of heart attack and if you do have any of those symptoms, seek medical care urgently.

Unless you have small ankles, probably no band is big enough to go over your feet or wrap around an ankle. The Apple Watch sensors are designed to work best on either wrist. You can get them in aluminum in pink, midnight black, starlight white, silver or red, or stainless steel in mirror polished gold, silver or graphite, 2 different sizes and about 6 different styles and 40 different colors. Lots of options to allow you to customize the look you want, or at least accept.
While that's all well and good but a lot of things are saving your lives. Your house, your clothes and your food are saving your lives.

I have the Apple Watch ⌚️ series 3 and fell twice and it never called for emergency services. When I went to my Orthopedic appointment the next day he ordered X-rays and MRI’s. I had multiple broken bones 🦴. The whole reason why I purchased the watch was reading about the 16 year old sitting 🪑 in church ⛪️ when her watch went off in Florida. Her mother, a registered nurse 👩🏼⚕️, duplicating the findings took her to Urgent Care and then an Emergency 🚨 Room. The young ladies kidneys were functioning at less than 10 or 20%. She would have died because her mother, the nurse, ignored all of her other symptoms. My Orthopedic noted in my chart that the Apple Watch ⌚️ “did not” notify Emergency 🚨 Services.
