GPS watch

This watch has an inbuilt easy touch SOS button, which when linked to our monitoring centre, can raise an alarm anywhere you go – be it indoors or outdoors. It has two way speech so you can talk to our 24/7 monitoring centre to get the most appropriate help

The GPS location function allows us to pinpoint you accurately and direct responders to you quickly. It tells the time and also monitors your heart rate, steps and calories so can be used to help you stay active.

The watch runs via the 4G cellular network and is water resistant. It comes with an ‘at-home’ beacon which recognises the watch when in range and powers down the GPS function (which can help increase the battery life). A magnetic charging pad comes with the watch for ease of battery charging.

How does it work?
  • Detecting a ‘hard fall’ – If enabled, the falls detector senses certain ‘hard falls’ and sends an automatic alarm, or this can be raised by pressing the SOS button. You will automatically be put through to one of our friendly operators.
  • Speak to us – talk to our helpful operators through the speaker in the watch. If they can’t hear you, they will get the appropriate help.
  • Help is on its way – the operator will contact your nominated key holder (relative, friend, carer) or the emergency service.
