Apple Watch is a series of smartwatches manufactured by Apple Inc. It connects with iOS and other Apple goods and services and includes fitness monitoring, health-related features, and cellular telephony.
The Apple Watch was debuted in April 2015 and immediately became the best-selling wearable gadget, with 4.2 million sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and more than 100 million people expected to use an Apple Watch by December 2020.
With a few exceptions, Apple has launched new versions of the Apple Watch with enhanced internal components each September, each designated as a ‘Series’ by Apple.

The Apple Watch’s health functions have once again been credited with saving a life and eventually detecting a far larger health problem.
Raylene Hackenwerth, a 71-year-old lady from St. Petersburg, Florida, told WFTS Tampa Bay about how the Apple Watch fall detection function assisted her in a time of need…
Apple Watch comes to the rescue with fall detection.
Hackenwerth fell while alone earlier this month, but the Apple Watch’s fall detection feature was able to inform Jason, her son, and alert first responders. According to the report:
The culprit was the Apple Watch. Jason had given his mother a fitness tracker as a Christmas present. However, this was an unanticipated action. The 71-year-old grandma had had a serious tumble.
The watch sensed the fall and automatically dialed 9-1-1. One of the paramedics who responded, Joshua Stevens, said a distress call from a watch is unusual.”It communicates the geolocation, latitude, and longitude, so it’s a fairly useful function,” Stevens added.
When first responders arrived, Hackenwerth was “almost unconscious and pretty bruised up.” She was sent to a nearby hospital, where physicians “found a malignant tumor in her lungs.”
I wouldn’t have known this was there if it hadn’t been for the falling and the Apple Watch calling them, and it could have been too late by the time it was discovered later, Hackenwerth said in the interview.
Hackenwerth is currently awaiting treatment and is using her ordeal to express her gratitude for the Apple Watch and its fall detection feature, which she and her son “didn’t even know the watch had” until this encounter.
Apple Watch Series 4 and later contain a fall detection function built-in. If you’re under the age of 65, it’s turned off by default, but anybody may enable it using the iPhone’s Watch app.
The function detects a sudden fall and instantly calls emergency services if the individual does not dismiss the warning within one minute of falling. If the individual’s emergency contact information is entered, that person will get a text message and a map of the watch’s position at the moment of the fall.
