Google's extra step for Emergency SOS on the Pixel Watch is now available


It's aimed to reduce accidental triggers.

If you don't complete the "press and hold" requirement within 20 seconds, the Emergency SOS screen will be closed automatically to avoid accidentally triggering a call. Google is also making it optional to manually set your Pixel Watch to call emergency services after a five-second countdown, eliminating the "touch and hold" requirement.
