The MGMove is a smartwatch designed with built-in life safety capabilities, powered by 4G LTE. It offers a range of features aimed at enhancing personal safety and connectivity for the wearer, while also providing standard smartwatch functionalities.
The primary function of the MGMove is to provide immediate assistance in emergency situations through its SOS capabilities. It allows the wearer to connect with a Monitoring Center for help. Beyond emergencies, the smartwatch facilitates communication with a designated "Support Circle" through a messaging app and helps manage daily activities with features like reminders, step tracking, and weather updates.
The MGMove offers two ways to activate an emergency call. The wearer can either tap the SOS app icon on the touchscreen or press and hold the physical red SOS Button located on the side of the smartwatch for 5 seconds. Once activated, the device will initiate a call to the Monitoring Center. In the event of a false alarm, the wearer has a 5-second window to cancel the alarm. The device provides visual feedback during the emergency call process, indicating when the call is being placed and when it is connected, along with the contact number.
To ensure the device is functioning correctly, the Test App should be used at least once a month. This feature allows the wearer to test the emergency call system with an automated recording, rather than sending an actual alarm to an agent. The device will confirm a successful test call.
The Messages App enables caregivers to communicate with the wearer via the MyGuardian Web Portal & App. The smartwatch's Messages App icon displays the number of queued messages. To initiate a message, the wearer taps the Messages icon from the home screen.
These apps are designed to keep the wearer connected to their support network. To add Support Circle members, the caregiver needs to create an account on the MyGuardian website. They fill out a registration page, verify their account, and then provide the Care Recipient's name, zip code, and the System UDI number (found on the back of the watch face and the box). The Account Owner is notified for approval, and once approved, the caregiver can log in to MyGuardian.
The Steps App tracks the number of steps taken daily and weekly. To collect data, the "measure" toggle needs to be on. The wearer can set a daily step goal by clicking the gear icon and adjusting with "+" or "-". The "Reset" option sets the goal back to zero. After adjusting the goal, the back button returns to the main screen.
The Weather App uses the device's current location to display current weather conditions, including temperature, high, and low.
The wearer can customize their watch face style and update their "Shake to Wake" preference. To change the clock face, they tap the current watch face name, swipe to their preferred style, and tap it to save. The SOS Button can be used to go back. "Shake to Wake" is enabled by default, and turning it off can extend battery charge.
To access settings, the wearer taps the setting icon from the home screen, then "More Info," scrolls to the bottom, and taps "User Settings." The code 1234 is required to access these settings.
The expected battery life is up to 24 hours. To view the battery percentage, the wearer slides their thumb from the top to the bottom of the clock screen. The watch face also displays a colored dot (green, yellow, or red) indicating signal strength.
The MGMove comes with a Charging Cradle, Charging Brick, and USB Cable. When the smartwatch is placed on the Charging Cradle, a light will indicate its charge status:
