The Doro Watch (model DWO-0420) is a smartwatch designed to connect with a smartphone to track various health and activity data, provide notifications, and offer an emergency assistance function. It is compatible with Android smartphones (version 6.0 or later) and Apple iPhones (iOS version 9 or later), requiring Bluetooth version 4.0 or later for connection. For the Response by Doro assistance button function, a Doro Smartphone (Android 10.0 or later) is optionally required. Users will need a Google account or Apple-ID to download and install the Doro Companion app.
Function Description:
The Doro Watch primarily functions as a health and activity tracker, monitoring steps, distance, calories burned, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and sleep data. It also displays notifications from a connected smartphone, provides call alerts, and includes an alarm clock. A key feature is the emergency assistance button, which, when paired with a compatible Doro smartphone, activates the Response by Doro app to alert trusted contacts. For other smartphones, this button can activate a "Find my phone" function. The watch allows users to initiate and track various exercise modes directly from the watch, though starting exercises from the Doro Companion app is recommended for location tracking.
