This reads as though Apple did it first: https://fortune.com/2019/01/07/garmin-vivoactive-cellular-sm...

Poor wording I suppose. My garmin is prior to that one, and has fall detection by using my phone via Bluetooth. Not sure who had it first, but definitely before that 2019 Verizon model.
Kinda. The part that they're referring to is it being Garmin's first device with cellular capability. But it's definitely vague around fall monitoring too.
I'm referring to this sentence, which has nothing to do with cellular capability:

> Like the latest Apple Watch, which has a built-in fall detection system, the new Garmin watch also has a safety monitoring feature, which the company calls incident detection.
