Apple Watch Ultra’s emergency siren vs. a $4 safety whistle - which is louder?  

In a situation like injury to the chest/ribs/abdomen, or getting trapped under debris, the person may not be able to use the whistle.. that’s where the alarm on the watch would be really helpful..

Please just convert to metric units for international audience

You should also try to compare it with just screaming, I bet it's louder than a watch xd

Not sure the siren is meant to replace a whistle or an air horn

Cool test. Does the Apple watch chime go off if, for example, the user has a fall (e.g., activating fall detection) and is unconscious? Maybe that's where it is useful whereas the whistle may not be as the user would not be able to blow the whistle. Maybe, I have no idea.

Doesn’t the watch also activate the satellite location feature if subscribed?

that is such a great point...what was that alarm for??? I guess if someone's too weak to blow a whistle?

That's really interesting. I haven't looked at the marketing on it, but I do wonder what their intended use cases are. That range means that maybe, on a quiet night, someone could hear the watch siren the next street up from mine. So it's probably too limited for outdoor search and rescue. But there is also a hearing safety issue. If they made the alarm too loud, it might damage your hearing, which may not matter in an actual emergency, but wouldn't be good if it was easy to set off accidentally.

Both items would be great to have along the way and is not heavy or bulky to carry. Any situation one might encounter, would give these items each a shot for its usefulness.

Nice vid, but please use metric units, you make it difficult for non-American users to picture the magnitude.

To be fair, the watch is not designed as a safety device. It’s a smart watch designed for athletes, with safety features.

Wesley Snipes called an needs his hat 🧢 back from white men can’t jump😂😂😂😂 Sidney Dean

use meters

500ft, 0.12 miles, ¼ mile? Please, I'm begging you, dont use fantasy units--or if you absolutely need to keep it consistent. Nobody knows how many feet are in 0.12 miles because its a nonsense unit

So it’s almost useless? Maybe it could work in a case where someone is stuck after an earthquake or something

This is a stupid comparison based on the elements of engineering and physics.

This is ridiculous! Of course the whistle is louder. But trying blowing one if you’ve just fallen or you didn’t have one with you

🤦🏻‍♂️did you really need to test it? Common sense 🤷🏻‍♂️
