On ordering my watch

On ordering my watch, I received it within 2days and it was already set up to use. I spoke to one of the staff when she rang me to say that due to my illness, I did not have to pay the VAT and it was returned to me asap. Excellent service.

Be aware of the alert conditions

My husband has had a Stride watch for well over a year and wears it daily. The slightest knock to the watch triggers a message saying fall detected followed by a call to ask if he is ok or needs help. Always lovely people, helpful, kind and efficient.

Luckily the occasions for a call have not been an incident needing attention - until this week.
My husband fell in the house whilst alone and was not in a condition to press the button on his phone nor seek help. He lay on the floor for 45 minutes. When I queried this with Stride I was told his wrist must not have twisted in the way to alert help and he could have pressed the button. I was asked if I wanted to upgrade. The fact the phone has always told us ‘call detected’ from a simple knock had given us the false reassurance he was covered should he actually fall to the ground. There’s no guarantee an 83 year old on the floor will be able to do anything to help himself.

This is an issue of which prospective buyers might like to be aware.

Until now. We gave been delighted with the watch, the service and the staff.

Reply from YourStride

Dear Margaret,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and for your kind words about our operators being so helpful, kind and efficient.

I am truly sorry to hear that your husband had a fall and I do hope he is recovering well. I was glad to speak with you personally to provide some further clarity on how the fall detection system works. As discussed, it relies on wrist movement to detect possible falls and, whilst it regularly saves lives, we strive to be transparent that no system can detect every fall with 100% accuracy.

I was pleased to adjust the sensitivity on your husband's watch to a higher setting and to confirm that no upgrade is ever required when selecting different sensitivity options. We also encourage regular manual test calls to build familiarity and confidence in activating the watch should it ever be needed.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if there's anything else I can help with.

Kind regards,
Ollie Laver
Customer Success Manager

Clear and transparent information

Clear and transparent information on the website was very helpful. The device arriving already set up was helpful, and I liked it being self-contained (my previous fall alarm relied on connecting to my mobile phone). The step counter seems slow to kick in - it doesn't really register much if I just get up to go to the next room - but seems ok for actual walks. Showing the date on the watch face was useful, but it would perhaps be even more so if it also showed the day of the week.

Very good service & extremely helpful team of staff members.

Highly recommended, this service is better than other services around due to not being tied to been close to a box in your home, which limits the range of essential safety cover & peace of mind which your product provides.

Many thanks!

I’ve only had my watch a very short time but it gives me more confidence since I am not very steady on my legs. In this short time it has already given four warnings when I’ve set the alarm off by my unsteadiness - thanks to being able to cancel the alarm when it is unnecessarily triggered. This shows that it is sensitive, but so easy for me to cancel if the help is not necessary. And very comforting to hear the voice over the watch.

Piece of Mind

I am a new customer and am happy withe the service I have received so far. Also, having the watch gives me peace of mind knowing that I can contact Your Stride at the "touch of a button", which is reassuring.

When I first wore my watch I was in garden and mistakenly caused an alert this was answered quickly so this makes me feel safe when working in my garden. It also gives me more confidence when out and about. I would advise anyone thinking about this watch to get one right away I am sure you will not regret it.
