I have added an emergency contact to my Strava account. The emergency contact asked me about how and when the notification knows when I need help or I just forgot to restart my workout

1. How does the watch know when something has happened to warrant an emergency beacon? (Like time of inactivity during a workout)?

2. What kind of emergency email or text would they receive?

I tried googling these things but nothing really came up.

I have added an emergency contact to my Garmin connect account. The emergency contact asked me about how and when the notification knows when I need help or I just forgot to restart my watch.

1. How does the watch know when something has happened to warrant an emergency beacon? (Like time of inactivity during a workout)?

2. What kind of emergency email (as I don't have the paid text feature) would they receive?
