Suggestion: Using versa 3 for emergency calls or texts

[rc211e]

I've been trying to figure out a way to use Versa 3 for emergency calls or texts.

Specifically I am thinking about a situation where somebody may have fallen or left their phone in bluetooth range but not be able to reach it. As far as I can see it's not quite there.

One idea would be to allow an outward phone call to a predefined number or numbers on watch. Most of the functionality appears to be there but right now its not possible.

Alternatively you could reply to a "sticky" notification on watch that was previously sent. This can be done now but only if you have an unread notification and as far as I can see notifications disappear as soon as you have read them so this method would be very unreliable unless there was some way of "keeping" a notification message.

Food for thought Fitbit. Either of these simple features could save a life!

@rc211e   You aren't the only one who wants this feature.  Fitbit users have asked for an Emergency/SOS for a little while.  Please take time to vote for and leave a comment on this Feature Suggestion.

Thank you @LZeeW for the heads up. I have now added my voice to the thread you referred me too.

Any news on a SOS app on versa 3?

I think you need a Google Pixel 4G LTE + Bluetooth® / Wi-Fi for SOS (coming soon)
