Coming to Galaxy Watch Active2 and Watch3, the new update gives you the option to select a higher Fall Detection\u2019s sensitivity \u2013 you can even choose to detect a fall when you are standing still. Once a fall is detected, your watch will send an SOS notification to pre-selected contacts, helping ensure that the wearer can receive the assistance they need as soon as possible. This makes it easier to keep both yourself and your more vulnerable loved ones safe.2<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n Group Challenge enables you to work out with friends no matter how far apart you are \u2013 helping you stay motivated and connected by working out together.
