I have read all instructions & have entered emergency contact information however, the instructions tell me to "Press the Home button 5 times to call an emergency number". This does not work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or maybe there is something wrong elsewhere but I'd like to solve the problem. TIA

Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand your concern with the SOS feature not functioning as expect and would be happy to look into this further for you. In order to provide you with the most accurate troubleshooting steps, can you please provide me with what type of watch you are using?

Thank you for following up. Are you pressing the button five times fast or just like a slow clicking pattern?

Thank you for that information. Are you getting any error messages when you are pressing the button or does the SOS feature just not work?

Why is this post marked as a solution? I don't see any new information to change the situation..... unless, of course, I am missing something.
