Dunno if it was the loose watch that couldn't detect the impact, or feature just not working. Not planning any more testing either!

Noteworthy that I have not had even one of the false alarms I was warned about either - I think I would be happier if they were proving a nuisance.

I think the 'call 000' function is the most important feature for someone like me, living alone and somewhat isolated from neighbors.

I have all the health stuff too, mostly ignore it all, I have 'proper' BP monitor and oximeter if needed.
Hi. You may find that fall detection doesnt work unless it is on your wrist. Cheers MD
