Assure Slim GPS Location Mobile Watch-Phone Review

Since I have become a father in recent years my eyes have been opened to the various child friendly devices, particularly tracking devices. Following on from last year’s Liberty Watch comes Watchover’s Assure Slim SOS GPS Location Mobile Watch-Phone. This watch is suitable for children and the elderly and puts your mind at ease when they are out and about.

The Assure Watch-Phone Box & Set-

The watch is a good fit, it’s slim and would not look too bulky on the wearers arm. It comes in three colours pink, blue and black. The packaging is quite attractive and definitely makes the product stand out.

Contained within the box are:

1 x Assure Watch phone
1 x USB Cable
1 x User’s Manual

The Watch Phone also comes with a mobile SIM card fitted. The SIM card needs to be activated and your subscription set up for the watch to work. The set-up process is quite straightforward and a quick run through of the quick set-up guide will have you up and running:

The watch also provides a level of freedom for the wearer that might not have been afforded previously. In the event of an emergency the SOS alarm, call features, silent listening and tracking features are a great way to locate a loved one quickly. The Alert Messaging also sends alerts to the app in the event of an SOS, when Geo-Zones are breached or when the watch has a low battery.

On the downside, there is an on-going subscription cost which may put some users off; this comes in at £7.95/€9.95 per month. This includes 30 minutes talk and all location data. Note : A subscription is required for Mobile Calls and Data, Pre-paid monthly, No Contract, Opt Out Anytime. You may also use your own sim card.
