When the owner of the watch was involved in a severe car crash, the device automatically dialed 911, alerting authorities, despite the victim's unresponsiveness.

“The owner of this Apple Watch was in a severe car crash and is not responding to their watch,” the automated message from the Apple Watch transmits to a 911 operator.

This automated distress signal provided critical information to responders, allowing them to locate the vehicle within minutes. Despite the lack of direct communication, the notification from the Apple Watch led to the discovery of the driver, who had managed to exit the vehicle but required urgent medical attention.
