What advantage is there with an emergency alert pendant over an Apple Watch ?
By life emergency alert pendant I mean the ones that elderly and weak people use when they are in physical or mental distress. Example: “Life Alert” and “Life Protect 24/7”.
Yesterday I made a phone call to my pharmacy to simply renew a prescription. The answer computer told me to push #1 to get a free Life Protect pendant. I chose not to push #1. Nevertheless my phone call was directed to a Life Protect salesperson who went immediately into the hard sell. The free Life Protect pendant costs $50 per month.
I let the salesperson tell me all about it. Then I said that I can call 911 from my waterproof Apple Watch anytime anyplace, it’s free and I don’t have to deal with wearing a bulky pendant.
The salesperson claimed that their emergency response team is better than the 911 response team. So I said maybe but I’m not going to spend my life tethered to that thing. It makes me feel old just looking at it.
Am I wrong?
Do you wear some sort of emergency alert pendant?
Have you used it?
Do you like it.
