For starters, it doesn't keep the bloody time accurately - often out by half an hour, which is ludicrous!
The screen is black until you press a button on the side, which is unhelpful for someone who can't remember how to do that, and inaccessible for sometime with arthritic fingers. It should be on the face if they can't make the battery sustain an always-on display.
Tracking was hopeless. I watched him (via the app) on an outing with a friend and saw they made it to the hill they were walking up. Then the tracker showed him as remaining on the hill until half an hour after he got home. So that's useless.
It claims to have 'geo-fencing' whereby I'd get a notification on my phone if he leaves a defined area. But that area is so large that it basically covers the whole town. He could have walked for at least 20 minutes (probably more) before he triggered the warning.
The emergency calling doesn't work in our house because it can't find a signal. To be fair, we do have thick stone walls, but my mobile phone works here and so does my brother's. We're both on different networks and this CPR Guardian watch claims to be on a 'chameleon SIM' which can switch between the major networks to get the best signal.
And trying to return it had been a nightmare and we're having to go through a claim via the credit card company.
I strongly recommend avoiding them!
