The Tunstall Gem5 is a personal safety device designed as a smartwatch, offering a range of features for personal monitoring and emergency assistance. It is primarily intended for users who may require quick access to help in various situations, such as falls or other emergencies.
Function Description:
The Tunstall Gem5 functions as a personal alarm system integrated into a smartwatch form factor. Its core capabilities include:
- SOS Alarm Activation: Users can manually activate an SOS alarm by pressing the side button for 3 seconds. Upon activation, the watch vibrates and provides a voice prompt confirming the alert. There is a 10-second window to cancel the alarm. If not cancelled, an SOS alert text message is sent to pre-programmed emergency contact numbers, followed by outgoing calls. The system attempts to connect to the first number, then the second after a 10-second delay if the first fails, and so on. During these 10-second delays between calls, the user can stop the call sequence or prevent a false alarm by pressing the SOS button.
- Fall Alarm: The watch is equipped with an automatic fall detection feature. If a fall is detected, the watch issues a warning message to the user. Similar to the SOS alarm, there's a short period for the wearer to cancel the fall alarm by clicking "Cancel" on the watch face. If not cancelled, emergency contacts are called. It's important to note that some daily activities, including sports or abrupt sitting, might trigger a false alarm. The manual also cautions that the watch may not detect every real fall and strongly advises users to press the SOS button if able, in any emergency situation.
- Heart Rate Measurement: The device can measure the wearer's heart rate. By wearing the watch on the left hand and selecting the heart rate function, the screen will display the heart rate in BPM after a few seconds of checking.
- GPS Tracking: The Tunstall Gem5 includes GPS functionality for location tracking. To obtain an initial GPS fix, users are advised to go outdoors or near a window, as it may take a few minutes depending on the environment. The manual notes that GPS functionality may be unavailable or inaccurate in certain locations, such as inside buildings, near tall structures, or underground.
- Time, Date, and Step Display: The watch face displays the current time, date, and the number of steps taken.
- Customizable Watch Faces: Users can choose from five different watch faces, including two analog and three digital options, by navigating through the settings menu.
