How the Kanega Watch Works in an Emergency
Press or Speak
Immediately connects to a US-based response operator 24/7/365 who knows your name, address, location, emergency contacts and other key info in your account.
Auto Fall Detection
Alerts the operator (even if you can’t press or speak) who will promptly reach out to your emergency contacts and can dispatch emergency services to your GPS location.
The Help You Need
Your response operator is trained to quickly determine and engage the appropriate support needed – ambulance, fire, police or simply contacting a family member or neighbor. Your stand-by assistance is always there.

“I fell 2 months ago and broke my left femur. I was so lucky to have been wearing my Kanega Watch. It saved me. It detected my fall and an ambulance was sent to my residence. I am grateful for my Kanega Watch”

AMAZING customer service
The watch works amazingly well, and the response is almost instant. The best is the AMAZING customer service. It is prompt, polite, professional, and attentive. I wouldn’t have any other system, and I can wear it 24 hours a day.

Dedicated to the well-being of their customers
UnaliWear customer service is beyond excellent. The customer service I receive with my Kanega watch is the result of a company culture that is dedicated to the well-being of their customers.

I've loved it since I put it on
My daughter-in-law found the Kanega watch for me. I’ve loved it since I put it on. I have Cerebral Palsy, and I live alone. Falls have become more frequent in recent years. Now that I have the watch, my kids are far less worried. I love keeping it on night and day, even in the shower.

A real human checks in
It works about anywhere with both wifi and cellular — and Verizon service is included. A real human checks in as if by phone after a fall, a button press, or a voice command and false alarms are easy to dismiss. The company will also increase/decrease the sensitivity of any band on request.

A great alternative to an Apple Watch
A great alternative to an Apple Watch designed specifically for seniors. I have been very pleased with my watch so far. It is a reasonably priced way to ensure that someone left alone for many hours in the day is still connected to the outside world to maintain his safety.

Operated just like my cell phone
I unfortunately live in a dead cell zone on the coast and both my landline and cell signals are degraded for various reasons. The Kanega watch was the only product I found that operated just like my cell phone – using my WiFi signal and home and cell service when I am out and about.

How can any one in 2023 not get this?
Did a lot of research including the Apple Watch which, while appealing, had a number of drawbacks including the fact it connects directly to 911 not a service. Finally found the Kanega which had distinct advantages.
1) Does not come off, just snap in the recharged batteries and snap the others in the charger.
2) Connects to a service not 911…
3) Waterproof. How can any one in 2023 not get this?

Nice looking, easy to use, reliable for fall detection
After an exhaustive search for exactly the right thing for us, and something he would wear, we were happy to find the Kanega watch by UnaliWear… Nice looking, easy to use, reliable for fall detection, and comfortable to wear! And the customer service is amazing.

Greater confidence in the product
My mother has had one fall since having the watch. The watch detected the fall. Fortunately she was not seriously hurt and we didn’t have to get help but it brought her, and us greater confidence in the product.

I really love my Kanega Watch
I really love my Kanega Watch. I never have to take it off, which is really comforting, and I don’t have to look like an old person with an alert device around my neck.

Life saviour
My 93 year old father wandered into the garage at 2:30 am. one night. The lights went out and he fell. Thank goodness he was wearing his Kanega Watch. We immediately received a call that he had fallen.

Ten stars
I had tried another Medical Alert device, but it only worked within my property line and was expensive for what it did (or didn’t) do. I sent it back and spent the next several years looking into other devices.
Carole H
Best medical device
I looked for a long time for a medical device that was not a necklace. This Kanega Watch works great and the best part is the staff. **************** is awesome, best I have seen anyway. They truly care about your situation and your experience.

Proudly Rated “Best for Fall Detection”
“Best for fall detection and voice control”
“UnaliWear has taken medical alert smart watches to the next level by including several exclusive features such as voice-activation, smart fall detection, and Wi-Fi compatibility.”
“The Kanega Watch detected all of my simulated falls during testing... The watch also learns from past false alarms. And unlike almost all the other medical alert systems we tested, it doesn’t impose an extra fee for fall detection.”
“If fall detection is your number-one priority, they Kanega Watch’s round-the-clock monitoring and battery system make it our preferred choice.”
“The Kanega Watch does a great job of understanding seniors, their desires, and their needs so that they will be happy wearing the watch constantly. This increases the likelihood that users will utilize the watch and its features appropriately to keep themselves or their loved ones safe in case of emergencies.”
“UnaliWear streamlines protection by offering a watch that contains the entire medical alert system in itself — no base station unit, cell phone or pendant is required.”
“If you want a product that you can literally wear for 24/7, because you worry that falls happen at night and in the shower, and don’t want to take the alert off, then this is one of the few medical alerts that make that possible.”
“Can’t say enough about this watch and the customer service we have received. It has allowed my mother freedom to live alone without the constant worry of a fall going undetected. I would give them six stars if I could.”
Test it, love it or return it.
