What should I do if my watch fits too loosely or is too tight?
The Kanega Watch band is a gender neutral, adjustable silicone band with a small magnetic clasp. If for any reason, the Kanega Watch band cannot be adjusted sufficiently, or you would like information about our alternate metal mesh band that has no magnets, contact UnaliWear Customer Success.
The watch looks a bit big in the pictures, is that true in real life?
It is not a dainty watch, for sure. The actual watch face is about the size of an Apple Watch. The size difference really comes from the watch band, which is about an inch across, to accommodate the rechargeable batteries. Note it is not a heavy watch—it weighs about the same as two slices of […]
I have a very small wrist. Will the Kanega Watch fit me?
Very likely. The Kanega Watch’s fully adjustable band comes in 4 sizes – Small to XL, and can accommodate wrists as small as 5 inches in circumference.
If I change my home Wi-Fi, does it affect my Kanega Watch?
Yes. Please contact UnaliWear Customer Success with any changes to your Wi-Fi or personal information. You can also update your WiFi information directly using the UnaliWear Wearer Portal.
What should I do with old batteries?
The Kanega Watch uses lithium ion batteries, the same type of batteries used in most cell phones, all of which require special handling when disposing. Each state has its own recycling regulations, so check with your local and state authorities on what is required for your area.
Where can I get new batteries?
Additional batteries can be purchased via our accessories page or by calling our customer success team at 888-343-1513.
How often do I need to change the batteries?
Best practice is to proactively change batteries daily; every 24-36 hours. We recommend our wearers to make it part of their morning or evening routine, like they do brushing their teeth.
Are the batteries easy to change, even for people with limited dexterity?
Yes. It is a quick swap every 24-36 hours. We recommend you change them proactively as a habit (like when you are brushing your teeth at night). The battery changing process was specifically designed to be easy for everyone, even those people with more limited dexterity. As an aside, our oldest Kanega Watch wearer is […]
Is it easy to charge the rechargeable batteries?
Very easy. It is quick and simple to swap the batteries in the watch band for the batteries in the charger. The batteries are about 1 inch square, so they are designed for people with limited dexterity. While we have many wearers in their 60s and 70s (and even younger), our oldest wearer is currently […]
Can I talk to the monitoring service through the Kanega Watch?
Yes. During an emergency your watch will “ring” briefly like a phone, and you will be automatically connected to an emergency operator. They will ask what is wrong, and get you the help you need.
