The device has given my family a sense of security as well as myself. I like the fact that I don't need to sleep in it and that it is shower safe, as long as it is not immersed in water. I am still getting used to wearing it and there are two things I don't like about it. Mine is very sensitive to the touch. I have had to cancel alert calls because I have laid it on the bed while changing clothes, or touched it while putting on a jacket. There have been several of these occasions. Also It cannot be worn under clothing. It is not attractive to wear when wearing for a party or dress up occasion. I don't want to leave it at home when going out but hate wearing such a visible device. Maybe I should have gotten the one worn on the wrist!
