How to use the SOS Feature on Apple Watch
Editor's Note: This tip may also work with Apple Watch Series 1 with Watch OS3 installed.
Starting with WatchOS3, Apple has added a new way for someone to get assistance while waring his/her Apple Watch.  It's called the Emergency SOS feature.
Here's how to enable it:
- First, make sure the feature is enabled on the watch from the iPhone.
- Go to Apple Watch App > General > Emergency SOS.
- Make sure the above is turned ON.
- On the same screen, tap the Add Contact option.
- This will bring up your contacts.
- Select the person(s) that you wish to contact during an emergency.
To activate the Emergency SOS feature:
- Press and hold the side bar button for six seconds.
- A menu will pop-up with the "Emergency SOS" option.
- Tap it.
- It will then send a text message to your contacts letting them know that you've contacted 9-1-1.
- That's it.

Report: Student’s iPhone 6 Plus Explodes in his pocket during class
MT. LAUREL, N.J. (WPVI) --Â It was a scary scenario for Darin Hlavaty, a student at Rowan College at Burlington County, after he says his iPhone 6 Plus exploded in his back pocket, burning a hole in his jeans.
"I felt this crazy, hot burning in my leg," said Hlavaty.
Hlavaty had just been reaching for a pen in his 9:30 a.m. physical science class.
"Right as class was starting, my phone started smoking in my pocket. It was a fire," said Hlavaty.
"Out of nowhere, we heard a fizzing and a popping sound. Suddenly a great mass of smoke comes out from his pocket," said Rebecca Bookbinder, student.
Classmate Rebecca Bookbinder had been sitting nearby.
"Everyone was kind of like, 'What is that? What is that? And then we all realized that's his phone that combusted in the middle of class," said Bookbinder.
"It was super hot so I flinched, grabbed it, threw it on the ground. Had to kick it because it was on fire," said Hlavaty.
A school spokesperson confirmed a teacher called public safety for a report of a burning phone around 9:45 a.m.
A spokesperson from the college says when public safety arrived the fire was already out, but they could still smell the smoke. The students were moved to a different classroom for rest of the period.
Recently Samsung recalled its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones after finding some batteries had exploded or caught fire. Apple says they can't comment at this time, but will investigate the claim as customer safety is of the utmost importance.
Hlavaty said the phone battery was dead and it was not plugged in.
"I've had it for about six months. The only thing that was wrong with it was a simple crack, but I don't see a simple crack causing it to blow up in my pocket," said Hlavaty.
As for Rebecca, she says her classmate is lucky he wasn't hurt.
"If you were on a phone call, had been sitting on your bed near a stack of papers, it could do a lot more damage than just burning a hole in your pocket. He's very fortunate," said Bookbinder.
