How to enable 911

911 Emergency Calling is disabled by default. To enable it, on the watch, swipe to the settings app on the third page of apps. Tap Settings > Device > Call Options >  Emergency calling. Then tap on "Show". The 911 option will now be enabled in the phone app. 


If 911 is enabled

When 911 is enabled, it will appear below other contacts in the phone app. Tapping 911 will bring up a confirmation screen with a button that says "call the police". You'll need to to tap this button to confirm you want to call 911. After confirmation, a 5 second countdown begins, and then 911 will be called. Tap the red phone at any time to hang up during or after the countdown.
