A more stylish alternative to an emergency pendant, this device can help older users stay connected to loved ones, take care of daily tasks, track steps, and call for help. The Australian-made SpaceTalk Life smartwatch is one of few designed for seniors, and features fall detection, an SOS button, and can share the wearer’s location. Of course, it also will deliver or place phone calls and texts, as well as reminders and alarms. Users must provide their 4G SIM, though, and the app costs $7.99/month.
