At the center of the sea, his mind clicked, and he remembered that the Apple Watch Ultra could be used for emergency service. He immediately used his Apple Watch. After that, according to Rick Sherman, he was floating on the sea until 1 hour after the contact.

After that, he was rescued and pulled out by a helicopter.
According to Rick Sherman, if I had not had an apple watch on that day, I would have drowned in the sea and not be alive today.
