I called our rescue squad's regular land line to ask whether they would allow me to test the 911 feature on my Applewatch Series 6. I do not have cellular on the watch, so have to have the iPhone nearby. The responder thought that was a great idea. I called him on a day and time he suggested, and he confirmed that 911 traffic was light. I then triggered 911 on the Applewatch. The 911 operator spoke to me through the phone and within 60 seconds reported my exact location based on the GPS on my watch.
