Apple Watch, which has made the headlines for saving the lives of many people, has finally come to the fore with an event like an anecdote. A gym trainer in Australia accidentally led a team of about 15 armed police officers to raid the gym.
Muay Thai trainer Jamie Alleyne saw a police officer enter the gym while he was training his student and went to him. Then, about 15 more police officers, including plainclothes police, came to the area. The police had received a report of a gunfight.
The tip was made from Jamie’s Apple Watch:

“I still can’t believe this just happened! My Apple Watch activated Siri, then accidentally called Emergency Services during a workout and about 15 cops showed up. It’s insane.”
This report, which sent the police to the area, was made by Siri, who somehow activated on its own and misunderstood the sounds around it. The watch on Jamie’s wrist perceived Jamie’s strike commands such as “1-1-2” as calling the emergency number during practice.
Moreover, during these kicks, Jamie was holding the pillows for his student to punch. Therefore, with each hit, Siri also heard a ‘pop’ sound.
Likewise, Jamie’s words like ‘Good shot’ for his student’s shots were also a sign of gunfight for Siri. As it turns out, Siri reached out to the police teams on Jamie’s behalf and reported a gunfight.
When the police teams learned the truth, there was no tension. “Now you have to fight us,” Jamie shared. made a joke, the event ended with laughter. Jamie disabled Siri on his Apple Watch.
