Facebook is finally coming to the Apple Watch in the form of a Messenger app that allows users to send text messages, audio messages, and share their location. With 700 million monthly users globally, Facebook Messenger is the biggest US messaging app outside of SMS. It could turn the APple Watch into a more serious communication device, rather than something you just stare at.
Sharing a location is good when you need to share your location with friends when you go out since it would make it easier to know where they are at, and how long you need to wait for them to come. Sharing location is useful when you are lost, or injured, and need the police, or ambulance to find you.
I agree a 911 call would be more useful when you have a phone, but sometimes your cell phone got stolen, lost or not working because of a dead battery, or your phone broke unexpectedly.
One of the only options if your phone no longer works, or got stolen is to use an Apple Watch to connect to an unprotected/free wifi, use the Apple Wach to hack into a private wifi network, or use your mobile Wi-Fi modem which relies on 4G and 3G Data to connect to the internet and use the Facebook Messenger App to message the police or ambulance Facebook account, and share your location with them.
A lot of cars these days are connected to the internet, so you can use the Wi-Fi in your car to connect to Facebook.
The smartphone version of Facebook Messenger can also make free international phone calls, so I bet, the Apple Watch version of Messenger will soon have free Internet phone call feature.
