Do you think wearable tech like the Apple Watch is becoming essential for health and emergency situations?

In a recent incident, an Apple Watch's SOS feature reportedly saved a man's life after he experienced sudden breathing issues. The smart device detected abnormal vitals and immediately notified emergency services, allowing help to arrive just in time. Stories like these highlight how wearable tech is no longer just about tracking steps—it’s becoming a life-saving tool. From fall detection to heart rate monitoring and emergency calling, devices like the Apple Watch are blending technology with health in ways we never imagined.
 
However, not everyone finds it accessible due to high costs, and some remain skeptical of its reliability in all situations. Still, as technology advances and health features become more refined, many people are reconsidering the role of smartwatches in daily life. What’s your take—are these devices just a luxury, or are they evolving into personal safety essentials?
