The best smartwatches for seniors in 2024
- According to a 2024 report, published by Global Cardiology Science & Practice, “The number of smartwatch and fitness-tracker shipments is expected to increase by 11% between 2021 and 2024.
- For seniors, we’ve broken down the models into two groups, featuring three models from traditional tech companies for seniors confident in using technology and tech devices and two others from medical alert system companies for seniors who aren’t as comfortable with technology or using smartwatches.
- The best smartwatches for seniors include the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Medical Guardian MGMove, Kanega Watch, Google Pixel Watch 3, and the Amazfit GTR 4 Smart Watch.
- When finding a well-designed watch for seniors, consider the following factors: larger, easy-to-press buttons, a larger display, clear icons, a straightforward menu structure, a dedicated emergency button, fall detection, and a comfortable, easy-to-adjust wristband.
- The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the overall best smartwatch for seniors as it’s packed with top-notch advanced health and fitness features and is rugged and water-resistant.
- The Medical Guardian MGMove and the Kanega Watch are excellent options for seniors concerned about falling or for those who prefer a medical alert systems watch.
- The Google Pixel Watch 3 and the Amazfit GTR 4 Smart Watch offer good alternatives for seniors who are Android or budget-conscious.
- When buying a smartwatch for seniors, consider the type of smartwatch, health, and safety alerts, ease of use, compatibility, health monitoring and fitness tracking, and extra fees.
- Not every smartwatch will suit every senior, so you should consider factors like screen size, overly complex interface, and short battery life.
- Although there is solid evidence that conventional smartwatches can inspire seniors to be more active, it's important to remember that not everyone positively responds to such real-time data.
