Pixel, Emergency SOS

Pixel Watch now requires your confirmation before contacting emergency services
Just as we spotted Google prepping earlier this week, the Pixel Watch is starting to get a new workflow for activating Emergency SOS.

The good news is that the current method to activate Emergency SOS isn't going away. The code shows that the users will be given an option to choose. In addition, Google will also apparently be revamping the current method by adding a five-second delay before emergency services are contacted, which should mitigate most issues.
