Common questions in Birmingham
Frequently asked questions
Does the GPS tracking work well across Birmingham and the West Midlands?
Yes. GPS tracking works reliably outdoors across Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Dudley, Walsall, and West Bromwich. The watch also uses Wi-Fi positioning for indoor location estimates. The 4G signal is strong throughout the West Midlands conurbation.
How quickly can the watch be delivered to a Birmingham address?
We offer £1.99 next-day delivery to all Birmingham and West Midlands postcodes including B, WS, DY, and WV areas. Orders placed before 2pm are dispatched the same day from our UK warehouse.
Can this watch work alongside Birmingham City Council's telecare services?
Absolutely. Many Birmingham residents use council-provided pendant alarms at home. Our watch adds mobile protection when the wearer leaves the house — visiting shops in Solihull, attending a day centre in Walsall, or walking in Sutton Park. The two systems complement each other perfectly.
Is it suitable for elderly residents in Birmingham care settings?
Yes. The watch is used by residents in sheltered housing, extra-care schemes, and by those receiving domiciliary care visits across Birmingham. Carers and family members can both be added as emergency contacts, and the geofence feature alerts you if the wearer wanders beyond a set area.
How waterproof is the watch for everyday use?
The watch is IP67 water-resistant, meaning it handles splashes, rain, and handwashing without any issues. It should be removed before swimming or bathing in deep water, but it is built to withstand the demands of everyday wear.
Can the watch make and receive phone calls?
Yes. The watch can make and receive calls to and from the nominated emergency contacts. When the SOS button is pressed, it automatically dials contacts in sequence. Family members can also call the watch directly to check in on the wearer at any time.
What is included in the monthly subscription?
The monthly plan includes the built-in SIM card, unlimited calls to emergency contacts, data for GPS tracking and app connectivity, fall detection alerts, and full access to the companion app. There are no additional charges or hidden fees.
Is it easy for an elderly person to use?
The watch is designed specifically for older adults. It has a large, clear display, a prominent SOS button, and simple one-touch operation. There is no complicated menu system. Most users are comfortable with the watch within minutes of putting it on.
