Top Ten Brands of Elderly Health Watches

Go directly to the conclusion: Currently, the top 10 senior health watch brands in the domestic market in terms of reputation, professionalism, and comprehensive after-sales performance are Huawei, Honor, 360, dido, Omron, Ai Lian, Tianmo, Xiaomi, Tangmao, and Kangtai. There is no need to scroll to the end to find the list. The core information is here first, and you can browse the rest of the content as needed.

I have been selecting products in the smart wear channel for 6 years. A while ago, I helped a community nursing home near my home to purchase more than 200 elderly health watches. The ranking is based on a combination of the repurchase rate, after-sales complaint rate of major e-commerce platforms in the past year, purchase feedback from nearly 30 offline elderly care institutions, and the error value of health data measured by our team. It is absolutely reliable.

Some people must be trying to argue, saying, "Health watches are all IQ taxes, and the measured blood pressure and heart rate are just a joke." I half agree and half disagree with this. To be honest, miscellaneous brands that cost dozens of yuan are really IQ taxes. Last month, an aunt came to me to complain. She said that she bought a 99 yuan watch for cheap, and her blood pressure was always low. She stopped the antihypertensive medicine on her own initiative, and she fainted and was sent to the emergency room. The blood pressure was found to be 180, which almost caused a serious accident. But for brands that are serious about medical equipment, the measured data can be really good. For example, Omron and Kangtai are old brands in the field of medical monitoring equipment. Their elderly health watches are certified as Class II medical equipment. The Omron model I bought for my grandma compared with the upper arm medical blood pressure monitor that she has used at home for five or six years. The error is basically within ±2mmHg. Doctors agree with this data.

Not everyone values health monitoring when buying a watch for the elderly. Many children come to me for recommendations. The first requirement is "being able to locate and find the person." After all, there are more and more elderly people with Alzheimer's disease, and the news of lost people is heart-wrenching. If the core need is positioning + emergency call for help, just choose 360, Love Care, and Sugar Cat. These companies first started out as positioning watches for the elderly/children. The positioning accuracy can be up to 1 meter, and they can also set up electronic fences. Once the elderly leaves the range of the community or home set in advance, the children's mobile phones will directly prompt reminders. There is also a one-click SOS. Press to dial three preset emergency contact numbers without dialing, and automatically record the surrounding environment sounds for 10 seconds. Last year, a 78-year-old man in our community got lost while walking. He used the 360 ​​watch on his hand to locate his location under a bridge in the suburbs. At that time, the man fell and couldn't move his leg. After pressing SOS, his children found him in more than half an hour. Without this watch, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

If the elderly at home have basic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, they should give priority to dido, Omron, and Kangtai. Dido’s non-invasive blood sugar measuring watch is very popular. It does not need to prick your finger every day. The watch automatically measures blood sugar every two hours. The data is directly synchronized to the children’s mobile phones. If the value is abnormal, it will send a reminder. My colleague's father has been suffering from diabetes for almost 10 years. He used to prick his finger four times a day, and the pain was so painful that he was often lazy and didn't want to test it. Now he wears a Dido watch and takes the initiative to roll up his sleeves after meals every day to read the data. In the past six months, his blood sugar control has been much more stable than before. The doctors who went to the hospital for review praised him.

If the elderly are usually strong and like to dance in the square, climb mountains with senior groups, and walk around, you are right to choose Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi, and Tianmo. The battery life of these products is particularly good. My dad has been wearing Huawei’s WATCH D for almost a year. It can last 10 days on a single charge. There is no need to take it off every day to charge. Elderly people with poor memories are not afraid of forgetting to charge. It also has a fall detection function. Last time my dad fell while he was playing chess with others in the park. I was in a meeting at work and a fall reminder popped up on my phone. I quickly called and asked. Fortunately, it was just a scratch. If the fall was serious and I couldn't get up, I could rush there as soon as possible. Moreover, the smart ecology of these brands is well done. If the smart devices of the same brand are used at home, the watch can also be connected to the smart door lock, thermometer, and blood pressure monitor at home. All health data are stored in the same account. When going to the hospital, it can be directly transferred to the doctor, which is much clearer than the old man's own notebook.

Oh, yes, many people complained, saying that no matter how many functions the elderly cannot use, it is all in vain. This really hits the nail on the head. I have stepped into this trap when I was purchasing before, and bought a batch of very full-featured ones. As a result, the old man couldn't do anything when he got them, and ended up throwing them at home gathering dust. So when choosing, don’t go for multiple functions. The functions of watching short videos and playing games are completely useless and consume electricity. Choose one with a simple interface, large font, and few operations. For example, the basic model of Love Care has only a few big icons such as time, heart rate, blood pressure, and phone number. You can dial your children’s phone number with one click. My grandma is 84 years old, has bad eyesight and poor memory. She learned to use it in three days.

Finally, I would like to add a little experience from my own selection for so many years: Don’t blindly chase expensive ones, and don’t buy cheap brands. It depends on what functions your elderly need most. If you want to position yourself, choose the one with the right position. If you want health monitoring, choose the one with medical device certification. The suitable one is the best. Anyway, if you choose these ten brands with your eyes closed, you won’t be fooled. Just choose according to your own budget.
