Find out why so people seeking accurate fall detection prefer the Kanega Watch over the MG Move Watch.
Which detects falls better. The MG Move or the Kanega Watch?
The Kanega Watch
The fall detection accuracy is simply unmatched.
The MG Move was never designed with accurate fall detection as a priority. It is not included as a standard feature (you have to pay extra) and relies on a low-accuracy, add-on system.
It frequently triggers false alarms and misses actual falls because it lacks the intelligence needed for reliable detection. The MG Move Watch is trained using artificial, heavy fall data and does not improve over time or learn to distinguish real falls from everyday movements.
With the MG Move, you face a much higher risk of emergency services showing up at your door for no reason or, worse, being left without help when you genuinely need it.

Some recent MG Move Watch Reviews

Fall detection done right.
When you choose a fall detection watch, it has one critical job: detecting falls accurately and reliably. It should not be easily misled by everyday movements like clapping your hands or sitting down quickly on the couch.
If your fall detection watch fails to do its job, it might trigger false alarms that send emergency services to your door at breakfast, or worse, miss a real fall when you need help the most. In either case, you have wasted your money and compromised your safety.
The MG Watch may cost less than the Kanega Watch, but just like budget airlines that cut corners on safety, a cheaper fall detection solution is not worth the risk. Your safety deserves uncompromising accuracy because reliability is essential when it comes to fall detection.

Our Users love the Kanega Watch Too





I fell in the garage and couldn’t get up. The Kanega watch signaled me to indicate it had detected a fall, and then called the call center. Without the watch, I don’t know what I would have done. I was stranded but the Kanega watch saved the day!! You have created an amazing watch!





I fell 2 months ago and broke my left femur. I was so lucky to have been wearing my Kanega Watch. It saved me because it was able to detect my fall and the agent immediately sent an ambulance to my residence. I am grateful for my Kanega Watch.





This is by far the best medical alert device out there. I am genuinely grateful for the UnaliWear Kanega Watch. The peace of mind it brings to me and my family is invaluable.





My Mother-In-Law has had her Kanega Watch for a few years now and loves it (we do too)! It's easy for her to use and wear and of course it gives us all peace of mind. We all highly recommend the Kanega Watch!





I'm a health insurance agent who specializes in Medicare. I've done a lot of research on these types of devices & decided on this watch for my loved ones. We love that this watch is easy to use-right out of the box. It can be worn in the shower, so you never have to take it off. It's discreet, looks just like a regular watch. Very happy with this product & so glad it exists!





It really saved me back in June when I fell and broke my neck.





The Kanega does everything it's advertised to do.





The Kanega Watch has been a lifesaver for my grandma (and mom!). My grandma lives independently and is able to continue to do so because the Kanega provides round the clock coverage in the case of an emergency. And even better, my mom can rest easy, knowing she's safe. Totally worth the price!





The Key Differences in Detail
The MGMove and Kanega Watches side by side.
- One is a fall detection watch. One tries to be.
The Kanega Watch accurately detects real falls and is rarely fooled by false falls. All falls are linked to a learning center so your Kanega Watch gets smarter and smarter. The MGMove, not very smart or accurate to begin with, does not improve over time.
- Better Coverage
The MG Move only has cell coverage while the Kanega watch has both WiFi and cell. This is a big difference. Cell coverage combined with a small watch antenna is very unreliable inside, especially on lower floors and internal bathrooms. WiFi connectivity is essential in the home to provide the most reliable connectivity in case of an emergency where you need it most – your residence.
- The MG Move battery system does not protect as well
A fall detection watch ideally would:-
a. Last a full day.
b. Not need to be removed to charge. When you remove your watch, your protection is lost.
The MGMove fails on both these counts. Many tests show the battery does not last the claimed 24 hours, and charging requires the wearer to go unprotected for some hours while it charges; compared to the Kanega Watch quick-swap rechargeable battery system that lasts at least a full day and never requires you to remove it to charge.
- The Kanega Watch has 3 ways to get help.
Button, voice and fall. The MG move only has button, and (on some models ) fall detection. The lack of voice activation means in a time of emergency, the user must fumble for a button press rather than just calling out for help.
