IT REALLY WORKS AND A CAUTION

Hi all,


Here's a quick story which should get you all laughing but it has its
serious side as well! Yes, it is about the use of the emergency callout
following a fall! ...


The trouble is, in my case it wasn't a fall but an attempt to act as
conductor at our evening song practice. There I was sitting on an arm
chair, beating time vigorously, and then the watch on my wrist came into
action. Yes, I was through to emergency with a number of friends
listening in! <Smiles>


I have realised that I must never use my left hand as a drumb whilst
wearing my watch.


Be careful, everyone, but be prepared to explain (or not) about the
music practice which resulted in such an action! <Grins>

Hey, I really enjoyed the story. I’m sure it was rather embarrassing two.
But I would never have thought of such a result. You never know what’s
going to happen when you are just having a good time. Thanks for the good
story.

Oh yes it works! My condolences for the embarrassment! I have had my watch call emergency services um maybe three times! It even called when the watch was off my wrist! I called AccessibilitY, and they told me to turn all the settings off and back on and then hard reboot the watch by holding the crown button and the side button. They also routed my watch info to Apple for the engineers to monitor. Well, it has been almost three weeks since the watch has called emergency. So, you might try those things. I am left handed and my watch is on that wrist. You also may want to try putting it on your opposite wrist from the one you are using for conducting. This I have not been successful doing, but it is a thought. Now if I can stop calling SOS on my phone ... Think I am not catching the little dunk when I am turning off my phone because of my hearing loss. So, I avoid turning off my phone but for dire need. LOL. I am getting to be known by Zephyrhills finest in more ways than just phone or watch, story not Apple related!
