Is there anyone in the Watch 6 beta program that can or has tested the fall detection? I ask because on the Watch 5 Pro it has never worked with several falls, concussions, and hospitalizations. It has only gone off to things like shutting a door loudly. Thanks!

Hello @PV2Omni,

Thank you for your interest in Fall Detection mode. We are also monitoring any comments related to Fall mode from Galaxy Wearable settings (Safety and emergency > Hard fall detection) to ensure a smooth user experience. (Although, we certainly hope nobody gets hurt during the testing process)

 

Regards,

One UI Beta Team

It's been my experience through Active, Watch4, Watch5 and now with Watch6 that the Fall Detection activates for no reason (standing still,  sleeping, reading a book,  etc), and has never correctly activated with a true hard fall.  Seeing this through multiple watch models, to me seems the entire feature needs to be stripped down and re-engineered both hardware- and software-wise .

Happened again earlier this week.  Watch detected a Hard Fall.

Only I was in the hair salon, just sitting ìn the chair having color applied to my roots. No fall, no bump. There was no way I could get to send in an error report,  though.
