Our monthly subscription covers calls and data in the following 31 countries:- Austria , Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

We cannot guarantee that all features of the watch will work outside these 31 countries so we cannot provide support for watches used outside these countries.  In theory, as the watches are mobile phones, the watches should work in countries that have a 2G mobile network but should you have any issues outside these 31 countries, unfortunately we will be unable to provide support.

 

As both watches, the Liberty and the Assure, use 2G and 2.5G networks, they are not guaranteed to work in USA as some American mobile networks have stopped using 2G and 2.5G networks.  American mobile networks are changing to 3G and 4G networks only.

The location data may not be sent to your app in areas that are not covering 2 G and 2.5 G and similarly you may not be able to make calls to and from the watches.  We do not advise you buying our watches for use in the USA as we cannot guarantee that the watches will work in the USA.

We want you to be happy with our product or with how we help should you wish to return our product.

The watch works with all mobile operators with the exception of one Irish operator, Virgin Ireland. The watch can make outgoing calls to Virgin Ireland mobile and landline numbers but Virgin Ireland’s mobile and landline network are unable to call the watch currently. There are no issues with Virgin UK calling the watch.

If your mobile operator or landline is with Virgin Ireland please contact us at support@watchovers.com before ordering your watch.

 

You can cancel your subscription at any time by emailing support@watchovers.com quoting your watch mobile number and requesting cancellation.  We will deactivate your sim card and your subscription. Unfortunately part monthly subscriptions cannot be refunded.

To reactivate your sim card, simply re-subscribe and forward a copy of your subscription confirmation email to support@watchovers.com and we will reactivate your sim card within 1 business day.  There is no charge for deactivation and reactivation.

 

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

The Assure watch will fit a wrist up to 21.5 cm. The smallest setting is 13.5 cm but the watch can be worn a little loose for wrists smaller than 13.5 cm.

No it does not come with either a UK or Irish sim card.  The watch comes with a European ‘always roaming’ SIM card based in Spain with a Spanish mobile number.

With our ‘always roaming’ Spanish sim card included, unlike a standard sim card, they use any 2G mobile network available, enabling the watch to get mobile coverage with any 2G network, not just 1 mobile provider.

In addition there are also 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.

Most 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.

 

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that all of the features of the Assure watch will function with a sim card other than the one that we provide. Therefore, the Assure watch is now only available to buy with our pre-fitted sim card and we can only provide support for the Assure watch using our sim card.

With our ‘always roaming’ Spanish sim card included, unlike a standard sim card, they use any 2G mobile network available, enabling the watch to get mobile coverage with any 2G network, not just 1 mobile provider.

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 Assure 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.
