Un Apple Watch 3 4G it saved the life of the owner who was using it when he decided to go kitesurfing in California, the watch from Apple proving to be a real help. The 49-year-old man was driving a kind of jet ski when a wave threw him off the boat, being unable to raise the kite above the water.
The biggest problem at that point was the fact that the man was a mile away from the beach from which he had left, and in that area sharks were reported to have attacked people. After spending 20 minutes in the water trying to return to the shore, the man gave up the idea because of the heavy equipment he had and decided to use the Apple Watch 3 4G.
According to him, his watch had a surprisingly strong signal when he decided to call the emergency services to ask for help and be rescued. The man was saved by the authorities, but before calling them using the Apple Watch 3 4G, he placed a call to his family, from whom he received the phone number to ask for the help of the authorities, so the smartwatch was very help.
Of course, Tim Cook received an email from the client who told him the whole incident, and the Apple president only told him that he was glad that the Apple Watch 3 4G kept him safe.
"I was out learning to foil on a light wind, and was cruising along, proud of myself, and realized I was quite a way offshore. I realized I needed to get everything together and start swimming to shore, which was difficult as I had a lot of gear with me. I was really surprised that I had a strong signal, so I called my kids, and said 'don't worry. I realized I had my watch – so I called the Ventura Harbor Patrol, explained my situation and asked for help.”
