Smartwatch "Emergency SOS" Triggering Accidentally
4.5
The watch starts calling emergency services or contacts while you are just moving your wrist.
Symptoms
- Siren sounding
- Countdown on screen
- Emergency call started
Possible Causes
- Button being pressed by wrist
- Fall detection false positive
- Software bug
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Adjust Button Orientation
Flip the watch so the buttons face away from your hand.
2
Disable "Hold to Call"
Change settings so a long press doesn't trigger SOS.
3
Lower Fall Detection Sensitivity
If you do high-impact sports, you might need to turn this off.
When to See a Technician
If you wear the watch low on your wrist, bending your hand back can easily press the crown/buttons.
