Hahaha that’s a good strategy Kawal. The new watch is dual core and even IOS 3 feels faster on my original version so it should be pretty fast.
The SOS feature is global. It sets up based on your location so in the US it knows to dial 911, in the UK I believe you use 999. It selects the emergency number based on your geographic location. You can also define up to 3 contacts who get texted and sent your location if you press the SOS feature. This is a great option I feel for women especially and the blind community as well. Women who travel alone and get hassled or worse in any setting but especially big cities have another tool to get help and same for us. I’ve gotten lost before and had my assistant remotely track me to determine my location. This should be able to help a lot of people and I hope it prevents a lot of crime. Hope that helps. > On Sep 15, 2016, at 4:57 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu <[email protected]> wrote: > > Is the SOS feature only for the US?
