Hello, I would like the Emergency Siren feature to be added to the Galaxy Watch 4, 5, and 6 Series with the official release of One UI 6 Watch. I think it would be very useful for a lot of people.

Hello @MatthewReiter,

Thank you for your suggestion (and interest!) on Emergency Siren feature.

Siren feature has been a long-debated topic over the past years, whether to include the sound in the devices or not for emergency alert. Among various reasons for not including "Siren feature", we've implemented SOS feature to safely report/direct the calls to emergency contact (Watch - Pressing home button 5 times, Phone - Side button 5 times) as it has higher chance of recovery / assisted rate than making a loud sound. (There were a lot of complaints in the past where users were accidently triggering SOS button causing unintentional scenarios šŸ˜…)

However, we have communicated your suggestion to developers, and will discuss the improvement on SOS (+ Siren) features. 

We appreciate your contribution to Beta program.

 

Regards,

One UI Beta Team

I think additional features would be good. It would also be for people that just like annoying others with loud noises, lol. Imagine the Galaxy S25 Series and other S Series getting that as well.

Thank you for your suggestion @MatthewReiter

We did implement Siren feature on Watch Ultra for essential purposes (emergency situations instead of being used to annoy others for no reason šŸ™„) but still discussing the eligibility for Watch4/5/6.

You know people tend to do that, and also test it outside to see how it sounds in the distance, there's YouTube videos of testing the Galaxy Watch Ultra siren outside to wonder how far away you can hear it, it sounds very loud
