[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1943866, member: 131855"] This is a large part of why I got the cellular model. I had been thinking about getting a watch for some time but Mrs. Slydude was reluctant thinking the watch might be obsolete in a year or two. After I took a nasty fall, she decided that fall detection was a good reason to buy the watch. If you've taken a fall, the ability to summon help is great but only useful if you haven't forgotten your phone at home. I have noticed that the flashlight function and taking calls on the watch can drain the battery faster than you might expect. Short calls are fine though. EDIT: Mrs. Slydude talked me out of getting one of the higher-end models as a first watch so I got the SE. I don't regret that at all but the next one will likely be a mid or higher-level model depending upon what's out at the time. [/QUOTE]
