Overview

• Satellite connectivity is restricted to emergencies and cannot be used for routine location updates or status messages.
• The watch prioritizes LTE, then guides users to lock onto a satellite, confirms GPS, and exchanges largely text-based messages via keyboard or voice-to-text.
• Manually initiated options include Emergency Sharing to broadcast real-time location and Safety Check to alert contacts if a set timer expires.
• Automatic protections cover hard fall detection, car crash detection, and loss-of-pulse detection that can trigger an emergency call if the wearer does not respond.
• The LTE model carries about a $100 premium, includes at least two years of satellite data at no extra cost, and still requires a carrier plan for voice calls.
