Easier button for SOS on Galaxy Watch 4?

Hi,

My Dad has a Galaxy Watch 4. It's set up to send an SOS when he presses the power button 3 times quickly.

Is it possible to change how this is triggered, say using the long press of the power button instead? He would find that easier.

Good question. I hope Samsung can do something about that. Also, using the accelerometers for fall detection like Apple have done. Would be very useful for some people.

I'm afraid not.

Thanks. It does have fall detection already, and he's got it enabled.

Thanks. I'll get him to practice, hopefully he'll get the hang of it.

Nice one. I've the Watch 4 Classic and I never knew! Lol. I haven't worn the watch for a while to be fair.

Yes something for Samsung to look at as the current set up would not be straightforward for everyone, the fall detection on smart watches is certainly  beneficial.

Im not sure. I haven't changed the settings on my watch much but if he can't find it in settings then more likely no
