The incredible offering from Samsung in the category of wearables is the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic. These smartwatch comes with a bunch of exciting features, but given the presence of the newest ‘Wear OS Powered by Samsung’ platform, there is a lot of curiosity about what features the Watch 4 has and what it does not.
Among many outstanding features, one is Fall Detection. The Galaxy Watch 4 can detect hard falls using the accelerometer. After detecting the hard fall, the smartwatch will ring for 60 seconds and if you do not respond, it will send an SOS message to the emergency contact listed with your location. The smartwatch also allows you to call an emergency contact if you are in a position to do so.
The Galaxy Watch 4 series may not detect all falls and even intense physical activity can trigger the symptom. Also, in order for SOS message or call functionality to work, your smartphone must be paired with a smartwatch and a network connection must be available.

- Open the Galaxy Wearable app.
- Head to Watch Settings.
- Tap on Advanced Features then SOS.
- Grant specific permissions for the SOS features.
- Here is the SOS option.
