    Very pleased with this product after withdrawal of Buddi

    We've moved to this product from Buddi.

    The way it works as a phone call was a concern but the calls come in from the same number so can be stored as a priority number so it will still ring in sleep mode, for example, which is great.

    Set-up was good.

    We've not had to use this "for real" (thank goodness), but when we tested it it worked as it should and cycled through the responders with telephone calls.

    The different options for checks and emails are good. I like the daily email that reports that the system is working and the wearer is active.

    We've not had to use the additional responder service, so can't comment, but if it is as reliable as the rest of the service I'm sure it will be there if we need it.

    Response from Acticheck: Thank you for your helpful and comprehensive review Andrew. It's unfortunate that Buddi are discontinuing their service, but we're pleased that Acticheck has been able to step in and supply some of their wearers with just as good as, if not better, service!

    Great new bracelet band

    Still as comfortable as the old one but much easier to fasten & unfasten

    Peace of mind for another year

    I've been an Acticheck customer for several years and although I've been lucky enough not to need help so far, I really value the peace of mind that it's there should I need it. Renewal is a doddle even for a complete technical idiot like me. Slide out the old puck from the wristband and slide in the new one. The activation instruction leaflet is clear with step by step instructions for linking the new puck to the base. There is even a freepost return packet to send your old puck back for recycling.

    Great service

    The acticheck service is excellent as is their renewal service where they replace the active electronics to ensure the battery and everything works seamlessly for the next 12 months.

    Snug without snag.

    So much easier to fit on your wrist and less likely to be pulled off accidentally.

    A great improvement.

    This new strap is a great improvement on the old one. It feels more comfortable and is a lot easier to do up. It is easier as well to do it up to the right tightness. The colour is better too.
    Very pleased with it.

    This newer band has more of a tendency to rotate around the wrist but I’ve now tightened it fully and it is now much more stable.

    Great service

    New puck arrived very quickly and was easy to fit, although I am still at a loss to know how and when the original slid out.

    John P. · Verified buyer ·

    Response from Acticheck: We're glad that's all sorted. The puck can sometimes slip out if it's an old (silicone) strap as silicone can wear out and stretch. Or, there could have been a build up of soap inside the puck holder – it's good to give that a clean out once in a while

    Easy Peasy

    Battery started to run down last week. Was sent new one via post on following day with clear instructions on how to replace it in the wristband- easy peasy! Thanks Acti check

    Product generally gives peace of mind.

    The product has mostly given me the peace of mind that I was after, as I live on my own and I particularly like the ‘I’m OK’ checks. However, I had hoped that, having purchased the cellular version, it would have wider coverage, as I often get emails to say the check was missed as I was out of range. Also when I purchased the product I wasn’t aware that there would be such a high annual expense to replace the battery.

    Shirley G. · Verified buyer ·

    Response from Acticheck: Thank you for your feedback Shirley. The cellular version wouldn't necessarily give you wider coverage (the cellular version has a SIM card inside to communicate with our servers, instead of using the internet), as the base communicates with the wristband the same way and covers a distance of around 200m as the crow flies, so will cover a large garden, depending on terrain. If you want to be covered further away than that, we have a free smartphone app which effectively takes the place of the base unit when you're out of range. As for the renewal price, we do communicate the renewal price in an email around 10 days beforehand. The renewal costs are very clear on our website, but the price does include a year's 'service' as well as the new puck/battery. We still remain one of the best value monitoring services.

    My Peace of Mind

    I have recently changed my wristband from a rubber one to the new velcro and find it so much easier to wear. Several of my friends now own one and I am a responder.
