The first night I got my AW S9 I wanted to just shut it off, because it was charged up and I didn’t want to wear it for sleep tracking. So, at like 2:30AM I, half-asleep, tried figuring out how to shut it down for the first time.
I discovered that the shutdown process on AW is very similar to Wear OS watches - just going into Settings > General > Shut Down… The only problem is that, while on Wear OS there is a slider you have to swipe to confirm shutdown, but on AW that slider is instead for Emergency Call (and the power button is just a tiny on screen button you have to press). Well, I swiped out of habit before even reading.
I hit hang up the moment I saw that it triggered a call, thought that maybe I prevented it from going through, but then my phone started ringing literally like 2 seconds later. I knew ignoring the call would probably lead to EMS at my door, so I answered and just said “sorry, my mistake, new apple watch” and the nice lady on the other end already knew what I meant.
