A spin-class teacher told The New York Times her Apple Watch often "thinks I'm dead" during classes.
Her movements triggered Fall Detection which calls emergency services unless the user stops it.
But woman said the watch did not react when she actually fell "hard" running for a bus.

A spin-class teacher said her Apple Watch regularly "thinks I'm dead" as it detects potential accidents during her classes – but failed to react when she had a genuine accident.
