A year ago i got a stealer deal on a Samsung Gear smart watch. Being a techie i thought lets give it a go at this price ($50) and see what all the fuss was about.
Well i am old school so soon after i had played with it etc it sat on my desk. And recently i even asked my son to see if he could sell it at school.
But since coming home from op, needing to use a walker to get about and not wanting to have to make sure my phone is with me given potential for a mishap, i realized the smart watch is back in business.
Instead of one of these lifeline beeper devices i think these watches could serve the purpose and more.
Of course its battery needs to be charged, but the lifeline type device also needs to have its battery kept in order. i am assuming they are non rechargable and merely get replace.
When the smartwatch came out i never saw it in this light.
For those that dont know u can text, dial and recieve calls all through the watch and yet phone can be 100ft away. Connects to phone via blue tooth network.
I am thinking for those of you getting on that work in your shop on your own out back this could be a better safety device than a cordless phone. And its no more in the way than an ordinary watch.
