Verizon Unveils Smart Watch for Seniors to Stay Connected with Loved Ones

Verizon this week introduced the Care Smart watch, designed for seniors to keep them connected while giving their loved ones peace of mind. 

The watch comes with its own phone number and a companion app (Verizon Care Smart), creating a simple way to stay in close contact with friends & family members. 

Starting April 16, users can preorder the Care Smart watch for $149.99 and receive $50 off with the purchase of a smartphone.

The Care Smart watch is ideal for grandparents or for loved ones who live alone. If they had an accident or an emergency, he or she could call for help. Customers can also set timers and alerts to remind them about daily tasks like taking their medication. The trust circle allows seniors to talk to people they already know, removing the worry of pesky robocalls. And, for the fitness enthusiasts, users will have step trackers to monitor their physical fitness. The whole family can get involved.

With the power of the Verizon Network, friends and family can download the Verizon Care Smart app to stay connected with their loved ones with calling, texting and location sharing features. 

One can see when mom gets home from church or dad has arrived at his doctor's appointment with Care Smart's location sharing. Caregivers can receive push notifications, and set reminders for appointments and birthdays.
