Reply from UnaliWear

We are really sorry you find the fall detection too sensitive. As you noted, we have reduced the sensitivity of your watch multiple times - which is something no other medical alert provider is able to do. Our Customer Success Team will reach out to you shortly to see if you would like the sensitivity reduced further. We tend to be conservative with these reductions, as we don't want to reduce it more than necessary - so you continue to have as much fall detection protection as possible. All the best and stay well and safe.

Thank you for being a consistent Kanega Watch wearer for nearly 2 years. The volume can be adjusted on your watch. If you have questions on how to do that, please contact our Customer Success Team at 888-343-1513 and press option #1. Note because the watch has voice activation having the TV on loud (such as in bed at night) can trigger a voice activation. All the best and stay well and safe.

Sorry you feel that way. Note that the combination plastic and stainless steel is designed to ensure the watch is a light as possible - since people want to wear it 24/7 that is a key requirement. The vast majority of our wearers get their watch and wear it with no issues for years. You have had a number of replacements and we look forward to working with you to identify why this is occurring.

Reply from UnaliWear

Sorry for your experience, Virginia. We will have one of our Customer Success Team members call you today to discuss adjusting the Voice and Fall alert sensitivity of your watch, which should quickly address this issue. In addition, when you turn the Kanega Watch to your face, it should automatically light up with large black on white numbers for you to see the time. You can also push the crown button once and it will also light up. We do this to save battery power, so the watch is always able to keep you protected, 24/7. All the best and stay well and safe.

We are sorry for your experience. We lowered the sensitivity of your fall detection last month. Note the watch may be "going off" because it thinks you fell or you asked for help. The Voice Activation sensitivity can also be lowered at your request to our Customer Success Team. We will have our team reach out to you to see if you'd like us to make further adjustments. In addition, we are sorry you broke the battery carrier of your first watch and, as you indicated, we are promptly shipping you a replacement for free. All the best and stay well and safe.

Reply from UnaliWear

Thank you for being a consistent wearer for nearly a year. We are sorry you have had issues with breaking the watch battery carries. A very small percentage of our wearers have this issue and it is almost always caused by micro-fracturing of the battery carriers caused by changing the batteries too forcefully over time. We will have our Customer Success Team reach out to you shortly to see if we can help determine the cause of your multiple breakages. All the best and stay well and safe.

Too many technical problems with the watch, going off unnecessarily. Canceled the service.

2 years ago

Reply from UnaliWear

We are sorry for your experience. We worked with you to turn off the Voice Activation and reduce the sensitivity of the Fall Detection, per your requests. That said, the watch is designed to alert if it detects an odd movement via your arm. Pushing the crown button of the watch twice immediately disables that alert and, in addition, the watch uniquely learns your movements so that the number of false fall alerts decreases over time - something no other provider offers. We are really sorry to lose you as part of our growing community and wish you all the best in finding a medical alert option that best meets your needs.

The watch broke twice, and my father barely got to use it. It is very cheaply made. Misrepresented.

Reply from UnaliWear

Sorry for your experience. The watch is definitely not cheaply made, and we have many wearers who have not broken their watch in 3+ years. Even still, we have a generous replacement policy when issues arise. We do have a very small percentage of users who have broken their watch multiple times. For some of those, we may not be the best option and they might be better served by a traditional neck pendant that does not require changing of batteries or wearing 24/7, like the Kanega Watch. That said, we wish you and your family all the best in finding a provider that best meets your needs.

Several times, the watch said "detected a fall" when I never fell, other than that the watch seems fine.

1 year ago

Reply from UnaliWear

Thanks for your feedback. Like all medical alert devices, the Kanega Watch is trying to predict what is a fall and so false alerts are possible. Some of our wearers find these occasional false alerts comforting, as they can tell the watch is working, and others find them a bit annoying. What's critical to know is that, if you are more in the latter group, we can adjust the fall (and voice) alert sensitivity setting on your watch remotely to limit/eliminate these false alerts. If you would like to have us do that for you, you simply need to call us at 888-343-1513 and we will be happy to make that adjustment upon your request (we have a number of adjustment levels, so you could opt for a minor adjustment and see how that affects your experience). All the best and stay well and safe.

Set up is easy to follow. My only dislike is how bulky it is. I wish it came in a smaller watch size.

1 year ago

Reply from UnaliWear

Thank you for your review. Note the watch face is about the size of an Apple Watch. The "bulk" comes from the fact that the band includes your two rechargeable batteries, ensuring you never have to take it off to charge. It makes the band a bit thick, but that is the trade off for being able to wear your Kanega Watch 24/7. We really hope it gives you the peace of mind you deserve. All the best and stay well and safe.

Thank you for your review. Please note if the watch is not showing the time when you lift your arm, make sure you are actively turning the watch towards your face. It is that turning and lifting movement that causes the watch to light up the face. As you said, you can also just push the crown button or just ask the watch for the time as well using your voice.

Reply from UnaliWear

We are sorry for your experience. The watch is about the same weight as an Apple Watch. Its size is dictated by the batteries in the watch band, so you never have to remove the watch to charge (or for any other reason). These batteries do need to be changed every 24-36 hours (swapping out one set of rechargeable batteries that come with the watch with the other set that comes with the watch). This process, as you know, takes about 5 seconds. We are glad you are actively wearing your watch everyday and hope you continue to stay safe and protected with your Kanega Watch.

We are really sorry for your experience with your Kanega Watch and our company. We have done our best to do right by you, replacing watches for various reasons as a courtesy. As you know, the Kanega Watch is the only medical alert device where the sensitivity of our automatic alert systems - both fall detection and voice activation - can be customized to match the wearers needs and lifestyle. As a highly active person (and good for you!, it makes sense to reduce the sensitivity of your watch's fall detection. However, we reduce that sensitivity gradually, so it can match your needs while providing you with the most protection. This can, of course, take patience sometimes - particularly for people that are as active as you are. Since this review was posted, we have proactively contacted you and adjusted your settings further. Thank you for wearing your watch regularly and we hope it provides you with additional peace of mind going forward. Please contact us if we can be of further service.

We see your first watch had to be returned because of an internal malfunction, and we replaced it for free. Your second watch was due to breakage of one of the watch's battery carriers, which we also replaced for free (we do that the first time as a courtesy, per our lifetime warranty on the Kanega Watch). This is usually due to trying to force the batteries into and out of their carries.

We will have our Customer Success Team reach out to you today to remotely adjust the Voice Activation and Fall Detection sensitivity of your watch.
