In recent years, the smartwatch market has experienced tremendous growth, with the Apple Watch being the undisputed leader since its launch in 2015. However, the competition is working hard to catch up, and the Google Pixel Watch, which will be released this year, is expected to be one of its main rivals.
Among the most interesting features that the Pixel Watch is rumored to have is the ability to detect falls, a functionality that has already been found in the Apple Watch for several years and has proven to be very useful in emergency situations. If the watch detects a fall, it will send an alert to the user’s emergency contacts, and if there is no response within a certain time frame, it will call the emergency services. This functionality is especially important for elderly people who live alone and are more likely to suffer serious injury in the event of a fall.
In addition to fall detection, the Pixel Watch is expected to have a wide variety of features, such as fitness tracking, health monitoring, message and call notifications, and support for virtual assistants such as Google Assistant. In terms of functionality, this would bring the Pixel Watch ever closer to the Apple Watch.
Nowadays, it is increasingly difficult for manufacturers to differentiate themselves in terms of hardware, so software features are becoming more and more important. Drop detection is one of those features that can make a difference, and so its integration into the Google Pixel Watch is great news for seniors and anyone who values safety.
It’s exciting to see how the competition between Apple and Google is driving innovation and improving people’s lives, which is beneficial for all smartwatch users.
