Actually, the reason I am buying it for her is because of health issues. She can barely walk, even using a 4-legged walker. She is in horrendous physical shape, overweight and if she were to fall, the smart watch could be used to call 911 as a standalone cell phone attached to her wrist. While she has a flip phone in her purse, she never turns the damned thing on, and most of the time, she leaves it in her car when she goes shopping. Why she goes shopping is another story. At our age, we don't need ANYTHING, well, other than the winning Power-Ball Lotto ticket. Kinda like one of those emergency pendants old folks wear that connects to an emergency center, but the smart watch offers much, much more. They have built-in heart rate monitors, GPS (In case she gets lost - which is never according to her), WI-FI connection, and other neat, health associated features.

If I am out on the boat, and she falls on our sidewalk, which is 300 feet from the road where no one can see her, she would lay there until I get home, which may not be for 3 or 4 days - that worries the Hell out of me. And, the way it looks, she can use her current cellular pre-pay plan with T-mobil, which is dirt cheap at 10 cents a minute, instead of $30 a month for the pendant which may or may not be able to reach the emergency center from where we live in the sticks.

The big problem has been finding a quality, smart watch, unlocked and with WIFI. Nearly all of them require that you have your smart phone with bluetooth with you in order to connect, which doesn't make sense. Only a few are stand alone cellular smart watches with WIFI, plus optional bluetooth if you wish to go that way.
