Common questions in Bristol
Frequently asked questions
Does the watch provide good coverage across Bristol and the surrounding area?
Yes. 4G coverage is strong across Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Portishead, Keynsham, and Yate. GPS tracking works reliably outdoors throughout the region. The watch also uses Wi-Fi networks for indoor positioning in areas with weaker GPS signal.
Can you deliver to Bristol and North Somerset postcodes?
We offer £1.99 next-day delivery to all postcodes in the Bristol area including BS, BA (Bath), and surrounding North Somerset and South Gloucestershire areas. Orders placed before 2pm Monday to Friday ship the same day.
How does this compare to Bristol City Council's telecare alarm?
Bristol City Council offers a home-based telecare service with pendant alarms connected to a base unit. Our watch works anywhere via 4G — at home, on a walk along the harbourside, visiting the shops in Broadmead, or catching a bus to Bath. Many Bristol families combine both services for comprehensive protection inside and outside the home.
Is the watch helpful on Bristol's steep hills and uneven streets?
Very much so. Bristol's steep terrain — from Park Street to the hills of Totterdown and Knowle — increases fall risk for elderly residents. The automatic fall detection feature is designed for exactly these situations, sending alerts to family even if the wearer cannot press the SOS button after a fall.
What network does the watch connect to?
The watch contains a built-in multi-network 4G SIM card that automatically selects the strongest available signal. This means it works reliably across different parts of Bristol and the wider South West without being limited to a single mobile network provider.
Can I monitor the watch from a different city?
Yes. The companion app works from anywhere with an internet connection. If you live in London, Manchester, or overseas, you can still view your loved one's Bristol location in real time, receive SOS and fall alerts, and call the watch directly. There is no distance limitation.
Is there a minimum subscription period?
No. The monthly subscription is rolling and can be cancelled at any time with no exit fees, minimum term, or cancellation penalties. The subscription covers the built-in SIM, data, unlimited calls to emergency contacts, and full access to the companion app.
Can the watch be used by someone with arthritis or limited mobility?
Yes. The watch is designed with accessibility in mind. The SOS button is large and requires only a light press to activate. The silicone strap is soft and easy to fasten, and the watch face is clear with large text. No fine motor skills are needed to operate it day to day.
