Strange, Pixel Watch 4 Security Feature Does Not Work When Traveling to Other Countries

JAKARTA - The security feature on the Pixel Watch 4 does not work if the user travels to another region. Instead of protecting, the security feature on this smart watch will actually lose its function.

This is explained by Android Authority. When the phone connected to the Pixel Watch is in an international roaming status, the security feature will be automatically disabled. This means that features such as car accident detection will be lost.

Users will also lose the heart detection and pulse monitor tools that are missing from the watch. This problem is known to appear when users leave the country of origin of the SIM card used on the phone.

Although the local emergency call function can still be accessed, Google's internal system will disable the safety feature on the Pixel Watch 4. This situation still occurs when users travel to neighboring countries that support this safety feature.

In fact, protection such as heart attack or accident detection is much more important when someone is traveling to another country. It is ironic that a device worth millions of rupiah becomes useless in the most emergency conditions.

The use of travel eSIMs that only provide internet data has also proven to be unable to solve this problem. The only way to reactivate the feature is to buy and install a local SIM card.

So, if you are interested in buying this device, you can't rely on its security features, unless you are willing to buy a SIM card in the region you are visiting. Make sure you have alternative security alerts other than the Pixel Watch 4.
