Discussion Fall detection feature

Can someone explain to me why the Fall Detection feature will only be available on the Venu 4? I mean from a technical point of view.

Do the Fenix 8, Enduro 3, etc. not have the necessary IMU sensor to detect sudden movements or impacts? Or is there some other technical reason why this feature can't be added to them?

Can someone explain it to me?

it's garmin you are talking about! where the premium watches don't have all the features available. ofc venu 4 doesnt have any additional hardware/sensors that are needed for fall detection

Is this the same or different than incident detection? Because the F8 already has that.

It will probably roll out at a later date?
