Sending an SOS request when you are hurt from a fall
When there is a large impact, the Watch will detect the hurt from a fall through your
arm’s movement. If there is no movement detected for more than 30 seconds after
the fall, it will display the alert while emitting sound and vibrating. If there is still no
response after another 60 seconds, the Watch will automatically place an emergency call
and send an SOS message to the previously registered contact after the countdown.
•
The Watch may believe that you have been hurt in a fall if you are doing a high
impact exercise. If it is so, cancel the alert not to send the SOS message.
•
If the
Share info with emergency contacts
feature is turned off, a message that
includes your current location will not be sent to emergency contacts.
•
If you want to cancel the SOS request or manually place an emergency call and
send the SOS message after a hard fall, open the
Galaxy Wearable
app on your
phone, tap
Watch settings
→
Safety and emergency
→
Hard fall detection
, and
then tap the
Countdown
switch to turn it off.
Stop sharing the location information
While sharing your location information, the icon appears on the Watch screen, and
you can check the sharing status on the notification panel.

.
If you do not stop sending SOS messages, additional messages that include your
location information will be continuously sent to the previously registered contacts
every 15 minutes for 24 hours after the first SOS message is sent. However, the
message will be sent only when your current location is some distance away from
the location where the last message is sent.
