Wednesday\u2019s Apple event opened with a warning. The video montage at the start of the event highlighted times when people in emergency situations had their lives saved by the Apple Watch<\/a>. They used it to call 911 and make phone calls. It flagged dangerous heart conditions. Without the watch, they might not have made it out alive. The implication being: without a watch, you<\/em> might not make it out alive. <\/p>\n

Apple has been inching toward that sort of messaging from the very beginning. At the first launch in 2014, Tim Cook called the Apple Watch a health device. In 2018, when Apple introduced the feature that could detect irregular heart rate, Cook called the watch lifesaving. Now, instead of pitching the watch as something that could save a life, it\u2019s framed as something people can\u2019t live without.<\/p>\n

The anecdotes used to back that messaging up in the videos \u2014 the people whose watches alerted them to heart problems or helped get them out of trouble \u2014 are worth paying attention to. Real people<\/a> get help from Apple Watches during emergencies. But Apple is grouping active safety features \u2014 like crash detection or the ability to make emergency calls from the wrist \u2014 in with passive health monitoring features. And there still isn\u2019t clear evidence that the health features on Apple watches can keep people healthier overall. <\/p>\n
