My partners father has dementia and she asked me, knowing that I love watches, if I knew about a simple gps tracker watch so they can keep track of him in case he wanders off and gets lost.
I am into watches not gps watches so I have no clue what to search for.
Has to be simple I guess, that can connect to their phone so they can keep an eye on him.
Cheap, in case he loses it.
Thank you all….
There is a company called Gabb that makes watches for kids with a GPS function. It may be tricky to sell it as an adult watch, but it’s cheap and does the trick.
Apple Watch all the way. It can detect a fall, call 911 for it. With a cell service you can track the user of the watch.
Just in case you have not thought about it: depending on the country you are living in this might be illegal. Even with dementia a person has the right not to be tracked if he or she is not under legal support by a caregiver.
This aside: Maybe the Alzheimer‘s Association(https://www.alz.org/help-support/caregiving/safety/technology-101) can give you valuable advise of which trackers work best.
