Apple Watch saves lives! Again! Apple’s wear­able made head­lines again when it trans­formed into a res­cuer of a kayak­er who was washed out to sea by strong cur­rents off the north coast of Syd­ney, Aus­tralia. The man faced cer­tain death, which would have end­ed in tragedy had he not been wear­ing his Apple Watch. The man used the Apple Watch’s SOS emer­gency call func­tion to call emer­gency ser­vices and asked for help. The kayak­er had drift­ed near­ly 4 kilo­me­ters off­shore and was unable to pad­dle back to shore due to strong ocean cur­rents. Luck­i­ly, he was wear­ing an Apple Watch, which helped him send a sig­nal for help by acti­vat­ing the Emer­gency SOS fea­ture. The Apple Watch SOS fea­ture allows users to con­tact emer­gency ser­vices and also share their locations.

As report­ed by iMore, the search for the kayak was ini­ti­at­ed imme­di­ate­ly when the NSW Police Marine Area Com­mand called Surf Life­sav­ing NSW and the West­pac res­cue heli­copter. In addi­tion, life­guards and the Fresh­wa­ter Surf Life­sav­ing Club also sup­port­ed the use of jet skis and inflat­able lifeboats, the por­tal added.

Heli­copter res­cuer Nick Pavlakis is quot­ed by local reports as say­ing: “The man was lucky [a] con­nec­tion on his device to make that des­per­ate call for help.”

So! This isn’t the first time the Apple Watch has saved a life. Also last week we report­ed that the watch became the ulti­mate life­guard for a swim­mer who got caught between rocks in cold riv­er water. She got stuck in rocks while frigid waters rose relent­less­ly in Ore­gon, Colom­bia. She called emer­gency ser­vices with her Apple Watch and was res­cued. She was on the verge of exhaus­tion and show­ing signs of hypother­mia when she was res­cued. Also Read: Apple Watch SOS saves the life of a swim­mer stuck in cold riv­er waters

The Apple Watch has an SOS fea­ture that allows users to call emer­gency ser­vices by sim­ply tap­ping the side but­ton for a few sec­onds. It does­n’t even need an iPhone near­by, but it does need cel­lu­lar ser­vice and an active plan to work.
