1 Emergency SOS is dependent upon network connectivity and other factors and may not be reliable for emergency communications or available in all countries or languages. The Wi-Fi version of Google Pixel Watch relies on your phone to call emergency services. This feature requires your phone to be nearby and connected through Bluetooth. Your watch can’t be used to speak with emergency services without the Bluetooth connection to your phone. Your Google Pixel Watch LTE doesn’t need a phone to call emergency services. However, it needs an active LTE connection on your watch to call emergency services. Go to g.co/pixelwatch/personalsafety for more details.
