Director Steven Spielberg was giving a talk at the Tribeca Festival when his Apple Watch suddenly said he’d taken a hard fall. His reaction to the false alarm ended up making matters worse.
Although false warnings from an Apple Watch are rare, they are not unknown — and can sometimes happen at inopportune moments. In this case, the renowned filmmaker was in the middle of giving a talk about his earliest feature film.
When the Apple Watch on his wrist beeped and displayed the warning, Spielberg should have simply pressed the on-screen “X” to cancel it. Instead, eager to resume his talk, he removed it, and dropped it on the ground.
