WMUR (via 9to5Mac):

The tech school teacher has been ice skating his whole life. On Sunday, he was on Salmon Falls River in Somersworth when the ice broke.

“It was just that terrible feeling. ‘Oh my God. I’m going in the water,’” Rogers said.

And:

No one was around and he couldn’t reach his phone. He was in the water for several minutes as hypothermia started setting in.

Imagine the above scenario before Apple Watch. This is a piece of tech that has saved many lives. Not many tech products can make that claim.
