Mike Menand in Georgia said his smartwatch likely saved his life.
Mike was on a hike with his dogs Cinnamon and Sugar back in April when he thinks they saw a coyote. "They got spooked and knocked me down and dragged me off the trail," he said.
His smartwatch instantly detected the incident and assisted him in calling for help. He called for an ambulance with a few taps on his smartwatch.
About eight months later, Mike said still has a titanium rod in his leg, but said his device was his only shot at getting immediate help that day.
For now, he said he’s sticking to paved surfaces to walk on but hopes to be back hiking in the spring.
