First unveiled at theGoogle Pixel launch eventalongside theGoogle Pixel 7and theGoogle Pixel 7 Pro, theGoogle Pixel Watchsignalled the Californian giants' first foray into thesmartwatchworld. It built on years of supplying the popular Wear OS to third party manufacturers, and was generally well received.
At launch,Googlementioned a Fall Detection feature which would be coming in the winter. The feature, which was popularised on theApple Watch, detects when a user falls and can alert your emergency contact if no response is given after a fall of up to 32G.
Now, according to9to5Google, some users have already spotted the feature appearing on their devices. After resetting their Pixel Watch, the user was prompted to set it up. If active, Fall Detection can be found in the Safety & Emergency section of your settings, and you’ll likely get a pop-up notification too.
But it will need to improve in order to win over new fans – particularly those already integrated into the Apple way of doing things. Offering a similar core feature set will go a long way towards achieving that.
