The Apple Watch has the ability to call 911 when you press its button for six seconds and this feature helped save  Casey Bennett, a student after his car rolled over and his iPhone was out of reach. 

“I was trying to figure out if I could get out, and I was like nope, you’re just going to have to hang out here,” Bennett said.

It was then that he pushed one button on his Apple Watch.

“I just pressed down this side button on here for six seconds and it called 911,” Bennett said.

Not only did the Apple Watch call 911, which allowed Bennett to get assistance quickly and it also enabled the SOS feature which notified his parents. Emergency SOS sends your current location including updates over time when activated.
