Common questions in Southampton
Frequently asked questions
Does the watch cover Southampton, Portsmouth, and wider Hampshire?
Yes. 4G coverage is excellent across Southampton, Portsmouth, Eastleigh, Fareham, Winchester, Romsey, and Hedge End. The multi-network SIM selects the strongest signal automatically. GPS tracking works reliably outdoors throughout Hampshire, including coastal areas and the New Forest fringes.
Can you deliver to SO and PO postcodes?
We offer £1.99 next-day delivery to all Hampshire postcodes including SO (Southampton), PO (Portsmouth/Fareham), and surrounding areas. Orders placed before 2pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day.
How does this compare to Southampton City Council's community alarm?
Southampton City Council offers a community alarm service with pendant-style devices that work within the home via a base unit. Our watch provides mobile protection using 4G, so the wearer is covered at home, in Southampton Common, at West Quay, or visiting the New Forest. The two services complement each other for complete coverage.
Is the watch useful for elderly residents who visit the New Forest?
Yes. The New Forest has good 4G coverage along main routes and in villages, though very remote woodland areas may have reduced signal. GPS tracking works well outdoors throughout the Forest. The watch stores the last known location, so even in areas with temporary signal loss, contacts can see the most recent position.
How water-resistant is the watch for coastal living?
The watch is IP67 rated, meaning it withstands splashes, rain, and brief submersion. It is perfect for walks along Southampton Water or the Solent coast. It should be removed before swimming or prolonged water exposure, but it handles everyday contact with water without any issues.
Can family members in different locations all receive alerts?
Yes. Up to five emergency contacts can be added, and they can be located anywhere in the world. All contacts receive simultaneous app notifications when the SOS button is pressed or a fall is detected. The watch then calls each contact in turn until someone answers for two-way voice communication.
Does the monthly plan include everything needed?
Yes. The monthly subscription includes the built-in SIM card, mobile data for GPS tracking and app connectivity, unlimited calls to emergency contacts, fall detection monitoring, and full access to the companion app. There are no additional charges, activation fees, or hidden costs.
How quickly can the watch be set up after delivery?
Most customers complete setup within ten minutes of opening the box. Charge the watch for two hours, download the free companion app, scan the QR code included in the box, and add your emergency contacts. The SIM is pre-activated, so the watch is ready to use as soon as it is charged.
