What it is, and who it helps
A fall-detection watch looks like an ordinary watch but senses sudden movement followed by stillness and can call for help automatically. It suits people who may not be able to press a button after a fall, for example if they are dazed or hurt.
Many models also track steps, show the time and let family see the location through an app.
How to choose
- Check the fall-detection accuracy and whether the wearer can cancel a false alarm.
- Look for a battery that lasts several days, and a simple charger.
- Decide whether it needs a phone nearby or has its own SIM and GPS.
- Pick a comfortable, waterproof design with a large, easy-to-read display.
Using it safely
- Wear it all day and charge it at a regular time, for example during dinner.
- Test it with the response team and family before relying on it.
- Remember that no device detects every fall, so keep the home safe too.
Before you buy
Does a fall watch work outdoors?
Models with GPS and their own SIM work outdoors. Others only work near a phone or base.
