    What is your favourite radio station?

    Smartwatches or devices for monitoring falling and or GPS-tracking

    Smartwatches or devices for monitoring falling and or GPS-tracking

    The device on Geewiz looks like a device from ReachFar. The app works well and is understandable. Got the V51 on Bobshop for my mother which she wears on a lanyard. You can monitor the device from your phone and remind them to charge it. It calls you if there is a fall or the SOS button is...
