The watch is a little smarter than described above. After an alert:

” If your Apple Watch detects that you're moving, it waits for you to respond to the alert and won't automatically call emergency services. If your watch detects that you have been immobile for about a minute, it will make the call automatically...

” If your Apple Watch detects that you're immobile for about a minute, it begins a 30-second countdown, while tapping you on the wrist and sounding an alert. The alert gets louder, so that you or someone nearby can hear it. If you don't want to call emergency services, tap Cancel. When the countdown ends, your Apple Watch automatically contacts emergency services. ”

I suspect the author intended a brief description of the fall detection, rather than a 3 paragraph description of the decision making process.

I’ve noticed that I’m getting fewer false fall alerts than I did when I first got my watch. Is there some sort of learning going on in the watch?
