better than the other site

Compared with the other site I used for my mother, this one is much easier to set up and the watch is more comfortable to wear. I know the product area well from working with community alarms. The fall detection has been reliable and the monitoring centre is quick to pick up. Would send people here again.

Fall detection is the real deal

The fall detection is what made me go with them, and it's properly sensitive without going off every time my dad sits down hard in his chair. I've used a couple of these over the years for clients and this is the first one that doesn't set off false alarms every other day. The alarm button is easy to find by feel too, which matters with older hands. Set up took about ten minutes.

does what it needs to

My sister recommended these and the monitoring has been dependable so far. The sign up was simple enough once I had my details to hand. I would call it reasonably priced for what's offered.

lifeline for my mum

We needed something for my mum after her fall last winter, as she lives alone and wanted to feel safe. I've been ordering from them for a few years now for her replacements and batteries. The alarm watch itself has worked well and the staff on the phone have always been patient with me when I've rung with questions. Would happily keep going with them.

Pricier but the alarm holds up

Compared with the cheaper sets I've seen in the shops, this is dearer up front but the monitoring cost works out fair over the year. I've worked in care for a while so I know how much the alarm needs to be reliable. The button is positioned well and the fall detection has picked up test drops without false alarms. Signing up was straightforward and the monitoring team answered quickly when I rang.

Needed it for my gran

Needed it for my gran after she had a fall at her flat and I was worried about her being on her own. Booked it through the site on my phone and it was sorted quick. The app is a bit clunky when you're setting up the contacts but it got there in the end.

Better value than the rest

Compared with the other providers I've looked at, the monthly cost here is lower for what's included. I've been through the product area for my elderly neighbour so I know what to look for. The alarm pendant is sturdy and the activity tracking is a nice extra. Only small gripe is the app notifications can be a bit slow.

needed something for dad

Dad had a couple of falls at home and we needed something he would actually wear. First time using them, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The sign up asked a lot of questions but the process was clear enough and the watch arrived ready to pair. Dad says it's comfortable enough to forget about, which is the main thing. Would use them again.

Cheaper than the big name

Compared with the bigger brand my mate uses, this came out a fair bit cheaper for the same sort of monitoring. The sign up was quick and I liked that I could do it all on the site without ringing anyone. The app is a bit clunky to navigate, mind, but the alarm itself works properly. Had no real problems.

Best of the ones I looked at

Best of the ones I looked at, and I looked at quite a few. The sign up took a couple of minutes and the monthly cost is clear with nothing hidden. Happy to say it.

not as clear as the pictures

I purchased the alarm watch for my wife some weeks ago. The item was not quite as the pictures had suggested, the screen is smaller than I had expected and the strap feels rather flimsy. The support line was courteous but it took several days to get a reply about the strap. I would have expected a more accurate description.

Bought the watch for my nan

Bought the alarm watch for my nan on Friday, she's already wearing it. Ordering was easy on my phone and it turned up in a couple of days. The app took a bit of fiddling to link to her account but got there in the end. Happy with it.

Ok but fiddly

Got one for my gran, she likes it and it does what it should. Took ages to get the sign up done though, kept getting sent back to the start. Eventually sorted.

Quick to order and works well

Ordered the alarm watch for my mum on my phone while waiting for the bus. The ordering process took about five minutes and the watch arrived within three days. She's been wearing it all week and the alarm works well. Really glad we went with them.

Fair price but slow to sort

The price is fair for what you get, and the monthly fee is lower than what my sister pays elsewhere. Getting the account sorted took nearly a week though, with a few emails back and forth before the watch was switched on. Once it was going the service has been fine and it does what it's meant to.

tracking is the bit i like

The activity tracking caught me off guard, I didn't expect it to log steps and sleep this well for a safety device. I've been wearing it on the way to work and it's been fine. The charge lasts a couple of days which is decent. Small niggle is the wristband rubs a bit after a long day, but otherwise it's a solid buy.

Does the job but slow

Honestly it does the job, my dad wears his every day and it's kept him safe. The booking for the monitoring took a bit longer than I'd like though, I was waiting nearly a week for someone to call back. Once it was sorted it was fine.

The fall detection sold me

What sold me was the fall detection, which the other sites seemed to bury in the small print. I looked at three or four options before picking this one. Setup took about ten minutes and the watch came ready to use. Very pleased with it so far.

needed one for my dad

Needed one for my dad after his fall, he didn't want to wear anything obvious. Ordered on my phone during my lunch break and it was sorted fast. The watch looks like a normal watch which he likes. Setup took two minutes.

Really happy with it

Really happy with it, the signup was quick and I had my nan's watch set up the same evening. The monitoring team answered when I rang with a question about charging. Good first experience and I'd use them again.
