At first glance, Acticheck and Buddi Connect might seem very similar.
But delve a little deeper – the Buddi reviews are a good place to start – and you’ll begin to find some significant differences…
Uninterrupted Protection
This is a cornerstone of Acticheck, designed to be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and for a whole year without charging.
Why?
It’s the only way to be 100% certain it’s available when you absolutely need it.
Unfortunately, the Buddi Connect needs regular charging. And whilst it can last 14 days, in theory, they actually recommend you recharge every 4 or 5 days.
This means you need to remember to charge a Buddi regularly and, more importantly, your Buddi might be on charge when you need it most!
Cover where you need it
When it comes to your Home & Garden, the Buddi Connect only communicates via a smartphone app.
While smartphone apps are brilliant for this purpose when you are out and about with your phone –the Assure has an app for this very reason – they are less effective at home. That’s because you can easily move out of range of your phone when it is on charge, if you’re in the shower or if you simply leave it in another room.
That’s why we never sell an Assure wristband without a base station. The Acticheck Life-Saving Wristband gives resilient Home & Garden coverage that an app cannot, meaning we will always be there when you need us.
“I’m OK” checks
In a nutshell: Acticheck has them, the Buddi Connect does not.
Mind you, we can’t blame them for that because these are unique to Acticheck.
“I’m OK” checks are an ideal way to confirm that the wearer is up in the morning and OK before bed.
You choose the times that suit you and the wristband vibrates, inviting the wearer to press a button on their wrist to confirm they don’t need help and that everything is, well, all OK!
Amazingly simple and yet very powerful, this alert is loved by our users. Especially vulnerable pet owners who worry about their furry friends getting timely help in an emergency, as well as people who worry about lying undiscovered for days.
Great reviews
We love people to look at our reviews. Not only does it give you a good idea of what to expect from the Acticheck system and Acticheck as a company, it’s also the very best way to understand the huge impact it has on people’s lives.
Whether you look on our site (link in menu) or on Amazon, you’ll see an incredible 4.8-star rating and written reviews that explain the many reasons real people continue to give us such high ratings.
Conspicuous by their absence, however, is the lack of Buddi reviews. Because, rather oddly, you won’t find a single Buddi wristband review nor their 3.7-star rating anywhere on their website.
But if you care to seek them out, on Trustpilot, for example, the written reviews for Buddi explain in detail why their ratings are markedly lower than you might expect.
