I have had my watch for some years now
I have had my watch for some years now, and although I have not had to call for help so far I check it regularly and have always received prompt and helpful response from your staff.
The only hiccup was when the charger magnetic connection needed replacing after about a year.
Otherwise I have been very pleased with the security it offers.
