The window is still not found though.

      The fall detection on my Apple Watch is so rubbish. It’s gone off twice; both times when I’ve been playing with my dog, and remained upright on two legs.

      On the other hand I have fallen so many times. Fell off my bicycle a couple of winters back, got a massive bruise that took like six months to fully heal. Slipped on some ice and tumbled down a cliff. Slipped on a patch of ice and slid down a hill, completely ruining one pair of trousers.

      There’s countless other smaller falls in there, like one literally last Thursday where I hit my head and got a nasty headache for the rest of the day.

      None of these occasions ever triggered the fall detection.

        I’m really surprised at how many times you’ve fallen down. I can’t remember the last time I fell down. Probably before the apple watch even existed.

        Needless to say, it sounds like you have a much more active life than me.

          Lots of ice in the winter, and I have a mutt with husky in him. Looots of walking. I’m also really clumsy.

        If you get up right after you fall it won’t activate. And it’s usually set to only activate during workouts if you’re under a certain age, I think 50.

        It’s activated for me crashing a bike when I just lay there for a second, but doesn’t activate if I pop back up after a fall.

          In the bigger ones, like the bike and the tumble down the cliff I didn’t immediately get up. I laid there for a bit gathering myself.

          When it actually did ask if I took a tumble, I never fell over to begin with - I was standing upright.

          I guess our proverbial mileages vary.

        I crashed my motorcycle on a trail in Utah near Moab last June. My A-watch notified my spouse in Texas when I didn’t get up after the fall.

            ME, TOO!

            I was the recipient of a great deal of kindness from complete strangers in those 48+ hours I spent in Moab after the crash and I am grateful for it. That circle of gratitude encompasses the many far-away and unknown persons at Apple (et al) who positioned the watch so it could be on my arm.
