With Incident Detection, your Garmin will automatically text your emergency contacts when an incident is detected on a run - Garmin does this by using its Live Track technology. Here, you’ll be able to add emergency contacts to receive a text message or email notifications in the event of an emergency. Under the Safety Features tab, you’ll be able to set up Incident Detection and Assistance Requirements. To do so, click on More, followed by Safety and Tracking. Garmin has its own set of features that’ll help you feel safer on the run, and the Garmin Connect app is where you set them up. We shouldn’t need the best running watches to have safety features pre-loaded, but unfortunately, for a lot of runners - especially those who are female - we do.
