Apple Watch rescued a cyclist who was swept away by the current

Smart watch Apple Watch helped to survive a man who was caught up by the overflowing river Wye in the UK. As reported by the publication BBC, with the help of the watch he contacted the rescue service.

The cyclist was able to grab onto a branch of a tree and call the rescuers, who eventually quickly got to him. This is due to the fact that the Apple Watch supports phone calls over LTE or a paired iPhone. The smartwatch is also equipped with an emergency call function that contacts the local authorities and then sends a text message to the contacts specified by the user.

Rescue station commander Sean Bailey said the cyclist “Very quickly carried away into the fleeting” part of the river. “We are very surprised that he has not lost his grip.”– he noted.
