I don’t need a smart watch, just something basic. The main features I’m looking for are:
Digital display (numbers for the time, no analog face)
A simple way to track the watch (like the find my device or AirTag, doesn’t need live GPS, just basic tracking)
Good battery life
My father-in-law is starting to have some memory and cognitive issues, and his analog watch is becoming hard for him to read. We want to get him something simple to replace it, and maybe a way to track him if he wanders off. A longer battery life would be awesome. Any suggestions that are affordable?
(Another option we were thinking about is just a regular watch with a Tile or something on his keychain.)
From what I know, most watches that have a tracking feature use bluetooth, so the range is limited.
I also know that most phones have a built-in feature to find your phone or make it ring through your account. Pixel watches have this feature, but they can be expensive. Casio Bluetooth watches are around 100 USD and have a similar feature, but it works through their own software, which isn’t as reliable.
