After thorough research, I convinced my 82-year-old father to agree to the Kangega watch. I regret that I did. It has caused him nothing but trouble: repeated false alarms (when sitting, eating, and even napping) but FAILED to REGISTER A THING when he FELL flat on his back on pavement, malfunctioning voice activation, next to impossible to turn off the false alarms, bad batteries (which he was charged to replace). When he finally had enough and was told to mail the watch back, the company didn't deactivate the watch, and it registered a fall en route. Neighbors and the police were contacted and he awoke in the middle of the night to them pounding on his door! To add insult to injury, because he has had it barely over one month, the company has told him that MAYBE he'll get a PARTIAL REFUND. He's retired and living off social security! He spent around $1200 for the watch and a full year of service for nothing. SHAMEFUL. Don't be scammed by this company and their promises.

We’re sorry this experience did not meet expectations, but we do want to clarify several points. Fall detection technology is not 100% perfect across any device or manufacturer, which is why the Kanega Watch includes adjustable sensitivity settings and multiple ways to request help. In this case, the wearer remained extremely active, including still working and regularly riding his bicycle. Some of the alerts referenced here occurred while biking. After the reported fall, our team discussed adjusting the sensitivity level to better match his activity level, but those adjustments were declined before service was ended. We also want to clarify that the replacement batteries referenced here were physically damaged. Based on his specific situation, he was not charged replacement cost for those batteries and was only charged shipping for the second replacement battery. Regarding the shipment return alert, customers are instructed to power down the watch before mailing it back specifically to prevent emergency alerts during transit. In this case, the device was shipped while still active, which triggered the response. The wearer later acknowledged this oversight directly to our team. When issues were reported, our support team responded, troubleshooting steps were provided, sensitivity adjustments were discussed, replacement components were sent, and a full refund was already approved despite the account being active beyond the standard 30-day return window. We understand that every medical alert device may not be the right fit for every individual situation, and we genuinely wish your father the very best moving forward and hope he finds a solution better suited to his needs.

Band broke the first week. Watch was returned and received by company - for credit in February- still waiting for refund. Frustrated!
Response from UnaliWear· May 12, 2026
We’re sorry for the frustration, but we do want to clarify the timeline for anyone reading this review. Your return was received and processed for refund. However, after the return was initiated, a payment dispute/chargeback was also filed with the card issuer. When a dispute is active, refunds are temporarily paused because the disputed funds are already being reviewed through the banking system, and issuing both a refund and losing the dispute could result in duplicate reimbursement. This was discussed by phone earlier today, and now that the dispute process has been adjudicated, your refund was processed and the details were communicated to you during that call. We understand delays are frustrating and appreciate your patience now that the banking process is resolved.

Eddie was so very helpful! He understood my battery problem and walked me through taking pictures and texting them to him. He is sending a new battery. Eddie could not have been a better representative of your company.

Receiving and getting started with this watch was actually quite easy. The only issue I’ve had so far was a battery that wouldn’t charge and a sensitivity of the device.

So far I really like my new watch. The idea that you can change the batteries while still wearing the watch is a big plus. It's only detected a fall once when there wasn't a fall and once it was going to call the operator when I was just sitting in my chair. I think it's a wonderful piece of equipment.

Thank you for the kind words! We're glad you're enjoying your watch and the convenience of being able to change the batteries without removing it. If you ever have questions about alerts or settings, or want to make any adjustments, our team is always happy to help.
