SOS mode :-
In case of emergency, hold in the side button on your Apple Watch until your watch dials emergency services. Before your watch calls, however, you will hear an alarm and a countdown will show up on the display in an effort to eliminate accidental calling of 911.
Using the Watch app on your iPhone, you can set up to three SOS contacts that will each receive a text message letting them know you used the SOS feature, and a link to your current location. You can disable the default behavior, opting instead to slide the SOS button across the screen to begin an emergency call once the feature is triggered, in the Watch app under General > Emergency SOS.
