    Its not possible to save all the lives but at least it will help some who are valnurable and in times might even be a gift of life

    Any good smart watch will do this, why do you just take all the Apple watch stories and make this completely biased video?!

      Because its the apple watch anniversary. 😅

      Sternkrieger that’s not true… Apple Watch has health features that no other smart watch has

      @Rainer thats not true… other Smartwatches have implemented those features months ago… sad that they dont get any credit aswell

      Bru momento so your telling me there’s another smart watch with ECG, high low and irregular heart rate notifications, fall detection, and emergency sos, please name another watch that does all that

      Rainer I believe the galaxy watch active 2 from last year matches Apple Watch with the ECG, and maybe fall defection too but I’m not sure. Doesn’t really matter since it’s got such a small market share though. Still it’s something

    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.

      Jacqueline Payne well, i think this is because Apple Watch Series 3 does not have fall detection as far as i know. It was introduced in Series 4 and of-course in Series 5 and thus should work. But, I don’t trust on them much to be honest.

    • jet052673

      April 27, 2020 at 2:33 pm

      Jacqueline Payne because your series 3 watch doesn’t have that option.

      The series 4 has the fall option. The 3 does not

    • Apple_Guy SL

      April 27, 2020 at 11:17 pm

      thats because the series three doesn’t have fall detection

    Beautiful and touching stories. I wonder how much money this ad will make Apple.

    • Michael Brown

      April 27, 2020 at 1:16 pm

      This ad makes me feel like Apple cares about people. Even people that can’t afford to purchase an Apple Watch. Kind of reminds me of affordable healthcare, but without the affordable part.

      @Sam T I’m happy people that can afford an Apple watch can have their life saved.

    I wonder how many people get rushed to the hospital due to false (or misinterpreted) ECG alerts, contract coronavirus there and die.

    Hopefully Apple watch will end Coronavirus. That would be a video to watch

    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 soooo wish Apple would fix the issue that prevents Apple Watch from working with tattoos. I’ve bought and returned the last three versions for this problem.

      TexasVet72 How come it doesn’t work with tattoos
