911 called me back and I apologized. but what the actual gently caress happened?

what should i do now?

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.

apple tech support told me to turn it off and on again. as soon as i turned it on, it called 911 and sent sos messages again.

Throw it in the toilet and buy a nice (neat, clean, simple date plus time, with a case diameter 38mm or fewer) automatic

Putting on my Apple Watch only to have it instantly call an ambulance and the fire brigade as it has correctly deduced that both will be required to get me out the house.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

OP, since its already called 9/11 twice, you should turn it on again.

apple produces trash quality products that are fantastically overpriced. stop buying them.

If its happening to you, I wonder how many others its happening to too.

Lots of frustrated 911 dispatches out there.

I dialed 911 by accident once. In my work's internal phone system you had to dial 9 then 1 then the extension of the other person in the building, so I was pressing 9 +1 multiple times a day for years.

Then at home out of pure muscle memory I would hit 9 + 1 a few times before catching myself, but one time I must have double tapped the 1 since about 15 mins later a cop car showed up at my house.

But luckily I'm Canadian so he laughed it off when I told him what happened and didn't shoot me dead on my front step.

Dealing with winding and managing the date/day on real watches for short months is more annoying than anything I've had to deal with on my smartwatch

Imagine you were just doing a little heroin on the couch after work to relax and that thing accidentally called the EMTs/cops on you while you dozed off and now you are in front of a judge sentencing you to 36 months in prison and your life is in total ruins. Thanks, but no, thanks

I got a pixel watch bc it's the first one that doesn't look like total garbage. I get a lot of compliments on it and I like the heartrate/blood oxygen/ sleep tracking.

I was worried about feeling over connected but I find that I actually put my phone down for much longer periods of time which leads to less time wasted on instagram, the forums, etc

there’s a whole genre of tiktok videos in which an errant drop of water on a touch screen causes it to go berserk to humorous effect

if you had filmed your watch you could’ve become a tiktok star op, a good lesson to always be prepared
