Track important health information with Apple Watch
Your Apple Watch can help you meet your sleep goals, track important information related to your heart, log your medications, encourage you to wash your hands, and track your menstrual cycle.

Prioritize your sleep
With the Sleep app on Apple Watch, you can create a sleep schedule, set a sleep duration goal, and review your recent sleep history. You can even see estimates of how much time you spent in REM, Core, or Deep sleep, as well as when you might have woken up. While you sleep, Apple Watch also tracks metrics like blood oxygen, heart rate, time asleep, respiratory rate, and on Apple Watch Series 8, wrist temperature. To get started, open the Sleep app on your Apple Watch and follow the onscreen instructions. Then wear your watch to bed and Apple Watch does the rest.

prioritize_your_sleep_apple_watch_series_8_smart_fitness.png

Get heart health notifications
You can enable notifications from the Heart Rate appget_heart_health_notifications.png on your Apple Watch to alert you to high or low heart rates, as well as irregular heart rhythms that may be suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib).

Apple Watch safety features

Safety features on Apple Watch

Your Apple Watch can be helpful in a variety of emergency situations.

  • Show important medical information on Apple Watch: You can create a Medical ID that appears on the lock screen of your Apple Watch. Should you need emergency help, those attending you can see such details as your age, blood type, medical conditions, and any allergies you may have.
  • Contact emergency services: Press and hold the side button on your Apple Watch to call emergency services or use Siri or Messages to make contact. Add emergency contacts to alert your friends and family to an emergency. 
  • Alert emergency services when a hard fall has been detected: With Fall Detection turned on, your Apple Watch can help connect you to emergency services.
  • Alert emergency services when a severe car crash has been detected: If your Apple Watch Series 8 or Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation) detects a severe car crash, it can help alert emergency services.

Set up and view your Medical ID on Apple Watch

set_up_and_view_your_medical_id_on_apple_watch_apple_watch_series_8_smart_fitness.png

A Medical ID provides information about you that may be important in an emergency, like allergies and medical conditions. When you set up your Medical ID in the Health app on your iPhone, that information is also available on your Apple Watch. If you share your Medical ID, your Apple Watch can send your medical information to emergency services when you call or text 911 or use Emergency SOS (U.S. and Canada only).

Your Apple Watch can display your Medical ID so that it’s available to someone attending to you in an emergency.

To view your Medical ID on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:

  1. Press and hold the side button until the sliders appear.
  2. Slide the Medical ID slider to the right.
  3. Tap Done when you’re finished.
    You can also open the Settings app settings.pngon your Apple Watch, then go to SOS > Medical ID.

Contact emergency services with Apple Watch

In case of an emergency, use your Apple Watch to quickly call for help.

Contact emergency services

Do one of the following:

  • Press and hold the side button until the sliders appear, then drag the Emergency Call slider to the right.

    contact_emergency_services_apple_watch_series_8_smart_fitness.png

    Your Apple Watch calls the emergency services in your region—for example, 911. (In some regions, you may be required to press a keypad number to complete the call.)

  • Press and keep holding the side button until your Apple Watch issues a warning sound and starts a countdown. When the countdown ends, your Apple Watch calls emergency services. The Apple Watch makes the warning sound even if it’s in silent mode, so if you’re in an emergency situation where you don’t want to make noise, use the Emergency Call slider to call emergency services without a countdown.
    If you don’t want your Apple Watch to automatically start the emergency countdown when you press and hold the side button, turn off Automatic Dialing. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch, tap SOS, tap Hold Side Button, then turn off Hold Side Button. (Or open the Apple Watch appsettings.png on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Emergency SOS, then turn off Hold Side Button to Dial.) You can still make an emergency call with the Emergency Call slider.
  • Say “Hey Siri, call 911.”
  • Open the Messages messages.pngapp on your Apple Watch, tap New Message, tap Add Contact, tap the number pad button, then type 911. Tap Create Message, enter your message, then tap send.

If Fall Detection is enabled and you have been immobile for about a minute after Apple Watch detects a hard fall, it will attempt to make a call to emergency services automatically. See Manage Fall Detection. If your Apple Watch detects a severe car crash, it will display an alert and can initiate an emergency phone call after 20 seconds. See Manage Crash Detection.

You can use Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular), Apple Watch SE (GPS + Cellular), Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS + Cellular), Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular), or Apple Watch Series 8 to make an emergency call in many locations, provided that cellular service is available. Some cellular networks may not accept an emergency call from your Apple Watch Series 5, Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular), or Apple Watch Series 8 if your Apple Watch isn’t activated, if it isn’t compatible with or configured to operate on a particular cellular network, or if isn’t set up for cellular service.

You can also add emergency contacts.  After an emergency call ends, your Apple Watch alerts your emergency contacts with a text message, unless you choose to cancel. Your Apple Watch sends your current location, and for a period of time after you enter SOS mode, your emergency contacts receive updates when your location changes.

To learn how to add emergency contacts on iPhone, see Set up and view your Medical ID in the iPhone User Guide. When you start an Emergency SOS call while abroad, your watch connects to local emergency services, but it doesn’t send your location or a text message to your emergency contacts. In some countries and regions, international emergency calling works even if you haven’t set up cellular service on the watch. See the watchOS Feature Availability website to learn which countries and regions are supported.

Cancel an emergency call
If you started an emergency call by accident, tapend.png, then tap End Call to cancel.

Update your emergency address
If emergency services can’t locate you, they go to your emergency address.

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Go to Phone > Wi-Fi Calling, tap Update Emergency Address, then enter your emergency address.

Manage Fall Detection on Apple Watch

With Fall Detection enabled, if Apple Watch detects a hard fall, it can help connect you to emergency services and send a message to your emergency contacts. If Apple Watch detects a hard fall and that you have been immobile for about a minute, it will tap your wrist, sound an alarm, and then attempt to call emergency services.

To call emergency services, your Apple Watch or nearby iPhone needs a cellular connection, or needs to have Wi-Fi calling turned on and Wi-Fi coverage available. If cellular and Wi-Fi coverage are not available, and your iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro or later is near your Apple Watch, Fall Detection will use your iPhone to send the notification using Emergency SOS via satellite, where Emergency SOS via satellite is available. See the Apple Support article Use Emergency SOS via satellite on your iPhone 14.

manage_fall_detection_on_apple_watch_apple_watch_series_8_smart_fitness.png

If the birthdate you enter when setting up your Apple Watch (or adding it to the Health app on iPhone) indicates that you’re 55 or older, Fall Detection is turned on automatically. If you’re between age 18 and 55, you can turn on Fall Detection manually by doing the following:

  1. Open the Settings app settings.pngon your Apple Watch.
  2. Go to SOS > Fall Detection, then turn on Fall Detection.
    You can also open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Emergency SOS, then turn on Fall Detection.
    Note: If you turn off wrist detection, Apple Watch won’t automatically attempt to call emergency services even after it has detected a hard impact fall.
  3. Choose “Always on” to have Fall Detection on at all times, or “Only on during workouts” to have Fall Detection on only when you’ve started a workout.
    If you’re between age 18 and 55, and setting up a new Apple Watch with watchOS 8.1 or later, Fall Detection during workouts is turned on automatically. If you upgrade your existing Apple Watch from an earlier version of watchOS, you must turn on the feature to detect hard falls only during workouts.

Note: Apple Watch cannot detect all falls. The more physically active you are, the more likely you are to trigger Fall Detection due to high-impact activity that can appear to be a fall.

Manage Crash Detection on Apple Watch

If your Apple Watch Series 8 or Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation) detects a severe car crash, it can help connect you to emergency services and notify your emergency contacts.

When your Apple Watch detects a severe car crash, it will display an alert and automatically initiate an emergency phone call after 20 seconds unless you cancel. If you are unresponsive, it will play an audio message for emergency services, which informs them that you’ve been in a severe car crash and gives them your latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates with an approximate search radius.

To call emergency services, your Apple Watch or nearby iPhone needs a cellular connection, or needs to have Wi-Fi calling turned on and Wi-Fi coverage available. If cellular and Wi-Fi coverage are not available, and your iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro or later is near your Apple Watch, Crash

Detection notifications to emergency services may be communicated by the Emergency SOS via satellite system, where Emergency SOS via satellite is available. See the Apple Support article Use Emergency SOS via satellite on your iPhone 14.
Note: When a severe car crash is detected, Crash Detection won’t override any existing emergency calls placed by other means.

Turn Crash Detection on or off
Crash Detection is on by default. You can turn off alerts and automatic emergency calls from Apple after a severe car crash by following these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app settings.pngon your Apple Watch.
  2. Go to SOS > Crash Detection, then turn off Call After Severe Crash.
