Great but miss some old features

I use my tag as a medical alert and it’s incredibly helpful. I’m not always capable of sending a text or making a call and being able to press my tag on a bracelet is amazing.

Though I do wish some features hadn’t been removed in the recent major update.
Like the ability to have different groups. It was nice to be able change who got alerts depending on necessity. Now I have to completely remove and re-add if I want to change this.

Be prepared to buy LOTS of batteries

You will need to own stock in batteries. Mine dies every two to three weeks.

Glad I have it

I like that I can get help from people I know even if it's not always a huge emergency. I've used it a couple of times on long runs just to have someone come and pick me up.

Won't work with Series 2 watch

Phone app says it sees the watch. Watch says to set up on phone. Done all the reboot troubleshooting. Nada.

Confusing instructions

Never could load a second family responder. Quick $7.00 for 1/2 hour I had on my devices!!
