Completely unreliable GPS – made me more worried, not less
I bought the Spotter Senior GPS Watch for my elderly mother because I wanted the reassurance of being able to see where she was if I became worried about her. Unfortunately, the GPS function has been completely unreliable. At one point, the app showed that my mother was still in central Stockholm for more than a day – including throughout the night – even though she was actually at home. I repeatedly requested a new position, but it still did not update. Instead of giving me peace of mind, the watch actually made me more worried, because I could not tell whether the location shown in the app was real or completely outdated. For me, accurate and reasonably up-to-date positioning is the whole point of buying a GPS watch for an elderly parent. If I cannot trust the location when I really need it, the product is useless for its intended purpose. A very disappointing purchase and, in my experience, money completely wasted. I would not recommend this product for anyone relying on it to keep track of an elderly family member.
