Probably not, and no.
If and when the watch has a cellular radio, that could be a big selling feature. I think most people don't think they'll really ever
need that function, or don't want to think so.
There's no auto
Help I've Fallen! feature, so a lot of elderly people probably wouldn't/couldn't use it. Most younger people will probably think they'll never need it. And they're right. So as a selling point it will probably only appeal to a narrow range of geeky tech fanboys (like me!). But as an additional feature there'll be a Hey, cool! factor.
I have see a few negative comments from so-called techies who've complained that it will be too easy to activate accidentally, and prank 911 calls blah blah. They make me laugh.
