You typed something very logical. I equate this post to: “We were cooking in the kitchen, but didn’t burn the house down, and having a phone saved our life since we didn’t have to call 911.”
As with all of reddit, all you need is a couple downvotes, and the sheep will follow perfectly in line.
It’s probably the wording of the main post. The word “saved” means that the watch actually helped in doing the “saving.” So anyone with a proper understanding of the English language sees this as clickbait.
And no matter who OP is, I’m glad they all made it out fine. Car accidents are no joke and I’m happy for their safety and well being.
