In a world where smartwatches are becoming increasingly popular, there are significant differences between various models depending on their purpose and functionality. While many smartwatches on the market focus on exercise, health, and notifications, the MiniFinder Watch has been specifically developed to function as a mobile safety alarm. But what is it that sets the MiniFinder Watch apart from a smartwatch? Below we go through the most important differences.
Automatic alarm function – A unique safety measure
One of the most prominent differences between the MiniFinder Watch and a smartwatch is the automatic alarm function. Regular smartwatches lack a built-in feature to automatically trigger alarms in the event of a fall or other emergency situations. However, the MiniFinder Watch has an intelligent function that can automatically detect falls and immediately alert pre-defined contacts or alarm centers. This makes it particularly suitable for elderly people and individuals with special needs who require extra safety in their daily lives.

Easy alarm management via MiniFinder Live
Traditional smartwatches are often focused on fitness statistics, messages, and health data. The MiniFinder Watch differs by being integrated with a professional alarm management system. The MiniFinder Live app enables real-time alarm management, making it possible to quickly see the user’s location during an active alarm. This provides peace of mind and a quick response that regular smartwatches cannot offer.
Virtual fences for increased security
Another feature that sets the MiniFinder Watch apart from other smartwatches is the ability to create virtual fences or geofencing. This means that the user can define a safe area and receive an alert if the person wearing the watch leaves this area. This feature is invaluable for people with cognitive challenges or those at risk of getting lost. Regular smartwatches lack this feature entirely.
Senior-friendly design and user-friendliness
Many smartwatches are designed for tech-savvy users and can therefore be difficult for older people to manage. However, the MiniFinder Watch is specifically designed for seniors with large, clear icons and a user-friendly design. The simplicity makes it usable without technical expertise, which is not always the case with traditional smartwatches that often require a learning curve.
Summary
While traditional smartwatches offer a range of features for those who are active and interested in technology, the MiniFinder Watch is created with a different purpose – safety and security. The automatic alarm function, integrated alarm management system, the ability to create virtual fences, and the senior-friendly design make the MiniFinder Watch an invaluable aid for those who need extra security in daily life. The difference between a regular smartwatch and the MiniFinder Watch is clear: one is a tool for activity, the other is a lifeline.
