Samsung has outstripped all smartwatch manufacturers by adopting the new Wear OS 3 before anyone else, with a special version based on One UI and its services.

SOS function and fall detection in Galaxy Watch watches
Finally, Samsung wants our watch to be able to save our lives if necessary. With the SOS function we will be able to communicate with an emergency phone number and send the location; once activated, emergency services will have access to medical information to expedite treatment. Fall detection, one of the most useful features for all ages, will be enabled by default.
