Ideally I’d like to only have the watch detect falls, be used via Siri to call out or receive calls, and show the clock. Seems like this device may be too complicated for Grandma.

    One would think this is a common use case for the elderly and children.

    Apple definitely has featureitis

    I find rotating the screen orientation so the buttons are on the left (on my left wrist) stops a lot of accidental presses for me

    Go to the watch app> accessibility > touch accommodations, turn on the hold duration that will help with accidental touches. Hope that helps

    Do you have the watch set to your phone or to hers? I don’t want to read grandma’s text messages, don’t even care if she gets them from the phone, want to know if she’s fallen or allow her to call 911.

    Go into accessibility>touch accommodations and turn on “hold duration.” That might help the accidental presses.
