Remember the Liberty Watch? Well this is the new version here from the Irish company Watchovers, Last year we checked out the Liberty Watch which turned out to be robust and effective and this time around we have Watchovers Assure Slim SOS GPS Location Mobile watch phone in for testing…
The Assure from WatchOvers is an SOS GPS Location Mobile Watch-Phone. It is a slim device that can be worn by the elderly and the young, giving them freedom, and you and your family peace of mind. The Assure is a stand-alone watch-phone bypassing the need for the wearer to also carry a mobile phone or any other device, and is managed through an App on your smartphone.
Differences between Liberty and Assure
- Location data is sent every 1 minute instead of every 20 minutes which along with its location algorithm, improves the location and the Geo-fencing.
- The watch has a sim card slot on the side. It would be supplied with a sim card fitted but the customers have the option to use their own sim.
- It is slim at only 13mm so fits better under a shirt sleeve and looks more like an ordinary digital watch.
- The strap is longer, which is better to also suit elderly wearers.
- Multi repeat alarms in the app will allow for setting several watch alarms per day for reminders for elderly to take medicine and other similar uses.
- There are also additional features such as silent mode for during school hours, remotely power on and off, voice messaging, shake 2 watches together for kids to share voice message contacts, allowing kids to send voice messages to each other.
It is a much more attractive and competitive price point at €79.99, in addition to the device having additional improvements on our previous watch.
