Apple Watch saves surfer in Australian waters – Technology News

A terrifying day at the beach for an Australian surfer had a happy ending thanks to his Apple Watch. Bodysurfing enthusiast Rick Shearman got caught in strong currents at Tallow Beach and was swept far out to sea.

Shearman tried to swim back to shore for about 20 minutes, but the waves were too strong. He started to worry because no one knew he was in trouble.

Luckily, Shearman was wearing his Apple Watch, which allows him to make calls without having to have a phone nearby. He used his watch to call for help and stayed on the phone with emergency services for over an hour! Even though the waves were big and the wind was blowing hard, Shearman managed to hold on to his watch and keep talking.

The emergency responders stayed on the phone with Shearman and sent a rescue team to find him. Thanks to the call, they were able to find Shearman and bring him back to safety.

This story shows how cool technology is could be! Rick’s Apple Watch saved his life because he could call for help if he could not get back to shore on his own.

It is important to remember to be careful on the beach, especially when the waves are high. It is also a good idea to bring safety equipment and wear a watch or phone that you can use to call in case of emergency.
