Choosing The Right Fall Alarm: Watch Or Pendant?

Staying safe doesn’t have to mean giving up your independence. 

 Having the right fall alarm can make all the difference for yourself or someone you care about. But with different styles and features available like pendants and smartwatches, how do you know which is right?

In this article, we’ll break down the pros and cons of each option to help you feel confident in your choice. At NexAble, we believe safety should always be simple, comfortable, and personal.

Pendant Fall Alarms

Why Choose a Pendant? 

Pendant alarms are a great option for those who prefer simplicity. Designed to be worn around the neck, they offer quick access to help with features like GPS tracking and fall detection, all without needing to interact with a screen.

Pros:

• Discreet and lightweight.

• Simple one-button operation.

• Has automatic fall detection.

• Can be worn under clothing for privacy.

Things to Consider:

It may not suit everyone’s style.

Neck-worn options might feel restrictive for some.

Smartwatch Fall Alarms

Why Choose a Smartwatch?

Smartwatches offer more than just safety — they’re stylish, multifunctional, and can blend into everyday life. Many models now include fall detection, GPS tracking, heart rate monitoring, and two-way calling.

Pros:

• Modern and discreet looking.

• Combines multiple features in one device.

• Worn on the wrist like a regular watch.

  
  

Things to Consider:

• Slightly more complex to use for those unfamiliar with tech.

• Some users may find the smaller screen or touch controls less accessible, depending on dexterity or vision

• Both the pendant and the smartwatch offer peace of mind, just in different ways. If you’re after something simple and straightforward, the pendant could be your perfect fit. If you like the idea of extra features and a more modern look, the smartwatch might feel more natural.

  At NexAble, we believe the best choice is the one that fits into your life, not the other way around.
