An arguing couple and a smartwatch - this combination triggered a police operation in the Upper Palatinate.

A young woman and her partner got into a loud argument on Monday in the shared apartment in Hohenburg, Bavaria.

The woman said the woman was wearing her electric wristwatch.

The smartwatch registered that the woman's pulse rose significantly during the dispute - and automatically sent an emergency call.

Police drive to the apartment

The dispatcher only heard screams on the phone and couldn't speak to the woman.

He assumed that the woman was in need and sent the police to Hohenburg.

Four strips then drove to the apartment.

There, the officials found that the smartwatch had triggered a false alarm.

Certainly the young woman will now reset the alarm functions of her watch, said a police spokesman.
