Tracking watches

I heard a commercial for Sketchers shoes for kids with built-in Air Tag pockets - or something like that. I wonder if Sketchers has a similar product for adults, but isn't advertising them on the radio!

I forgot to mention, the Tranqui Watch has two-way calling. With the press of button, my husband can call my phone from his watch. If I don't pick up, the call goes to the next emergency contact listed in the app. I can also call his watch from my phone. There is nothing he needs to do to answer the call. He'll hear my voice and can just begin talking to me. It's an amazing feature!

Hi Michele my DH has an extremely good tracking watch. We tried a number of different watches and alarms but this watch is unbelievable.

It has digital and sweep hand time; automatic personal alarm if you have a fall; one press button to call emergency help; 3 nominated emergency numbers that are automatically activated at the push of a button or if you have a fall; a GPS tracking system that can be activated by anyone using the specific number; mobile phone technology to receive calls (we have spoken on the watch to our son 1500kl away); it comes with a magnetic band or leather band.

I have had to use the GPS tracking when he wandered away from home and a lady who had found him spoke to me on his watch (thank goodness) I have used the GPS tracking to find him in a shopping centre and at the beach,

I no longer let him out of my sight.

But the watch is truely brilliant I can’t fault it.

Any good purchase is matching the need with the product.

Our PWDs lack varying amounts of memory recall , judgement and ability to process and convey proper information.

ALL GPS etc tells you is at that time they were at that place.

Doesn't show or prevent if they crossed the street against a RED walk [ hopefully they aren't driving] or if they paid a 20 for a 10 dollar purchase because the clerk cheated them or made a mistake your LO didn't catch.

Or if they "hitched" a ride with who knows who . If they gave out information like DL or SSN to some random stranger just because they asked.

So you need to ask yourself , is knowing where they are the everything you need or hard as it is, is it time to face the fact that the progressive disease has progressed and your LO needs someone with them who can provide the needed memory recall , judgement and ability to process and convey proper information.

Look into adult day care etc. Dementia patients don't do well "free range."

My DH has a tracking bracelet from Project Lifesaver. LA Found is our local chapter but I think it's a national organization. It can be purchased or you may be eligible to receive it free of charge.

Could probably send an email to comany and ask.
