Liberty Watch FAQ's

The back of the watch states the watch is 3ATM Water Resistant. This does not mean the watch is waterproof. 3ATM Water Resistant is often misinterpreted as waterproof to 3 meters or 30 meters.

Below are 3 common sources explaining 3ATM Water Resistant;

Google Search “what is 3 ATM water resistant” or “what does 3ATM mean”

30m, 3 atm = Splash resistant. Ok for rain, hand washing, other occasional contact with water. 50m, 5 atm = Suitable for swimming, fishing, other outdoor activities. 100m, 10 atm = Suitable for snorkeling and other prolonged contact with water, but not for scuba

3ATM (30 meters= ~100 ft.): This is the initial level of protection/water resistance. This is the basic standard to which the majority of watches sold today are built, both high-end and low-cost watches (there are real cheapies that don’t even have this, but they are not a subject of this guide). I wouldn’t even think of purposely immersing a watch with this rating for any period of time. Try to cover it up in the rain. If you get it wet, dry it off ASAP. NO SHOWERS and NO SWIMMING!

The Liberty is splash proof for everyday use, only when the charging port door is firmly closed. It is not waterproof.

No, the Liberty watch-phone is not water proof. The Liberty is splash proof for everyday use, only when the charging port door is firmly closed. It is not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming or other similar water conditions. Care should be taken while washing your hands. For young children we advise the watch should be removed while washing hands or other similar water situations.

The Liberty watch will fit a wrist up to 17.5 cm. The smallest setting is 12.5 cm but the watch can be worn a little loose for wrists smaller than 12.5 cm.

Here is a YouTube video to show you how to measure your wrist with a piece of paper and a standard ruler.

No it does not come with either a UK or Irish sim card.  The watch comes with a European SIM card based in Spain with a Spanish mobile number, in order to provide the great benefit of no roaming charges anywhere within 31 European Countries and the USA.  All calls to the SIM card from outside Spain will be charged by your mobile/landline operator at their tariff for calling Spain.  As the device is not intended for long communications, the cost of calling the device should not be significant for general use.

Some mobile operators let you add low rate international calls for no additional charge or for a nominal charge, but you must contact them and Opt in. Check with your mobile operator as it varies from operator to operator.

It is not an option to remove the sim card and use a pay as you go (PAYG) sim card. Opening up the device with make your warranty null and void.
At WatchOvers, we feel strongly that an SOS emergency device should not be on pay as you go sim , as you cannot risk the service not being available when you need it, i.e. in an emergency. In addition we have found pay as you go services are not usually as good as our service. When our sim cards are roaming, they use the best available network for that location, whether it is our mobile provider or not. With Pay as you go sim cards, you are stuck on 1 network.
In addition for Pay as you go and for many other services, the sim cards can be subject to “steering’ by the sim card provider. Steering is the process by which a mobile operator decides which partner their subscribers will use whilst roaming. These choices are usually exercised to take advantage of better prices from partners or based on bi-lateral agreements they with partners in that location. The quality of better priced networks is not usually as good. As part of our agreement with our mobile provider, our sim cards are not subject to steering.

Wi-Fi is not necessary for the functioning of the Liberty watch. It is not required for data connection purposes as this is covered in the data plan on the SIM card.

When the Wi-Fi service does become active, it is for enhanced location purposes and does not need to be paired nor is there a need for a password.
