No,it calls emergency services first then messages your emergency contacts,this can't be changed.

Fall detection SOS bypass With fall detection, is there a way to bypass the SOS call and have my watch call my emergency contact instead? I would like it to call emergency contacts only, not emergency services. Thank you.

Apple Watch 8 emergency call Hi sorry if this is a really stupid question but do I need to add the number for my local emergency services ie 999 in Uk to the Watch or will it automatically know to call that number in the event of an emergency I can’t work out whether I need to add anything other than personal contact numbers, say my wife for example, to the emergency contact numbers section than you Tim
