What is the difference between the AngelSense Watch and the other AngelSense devices? Features: It has all the same features as the previous model. Location Playback is not enabled automatically because it drains the battery more. It needs to be enabled in the app for each place separately. Alarm has one type of sound, with...

Since AngelSense is device agnostic, our analytics and application can work with different devices. We constantly monitor the market for new products.
We have evaluated quite a few different devices. They all proved to have short battery life and due to their small dimensions, they all suffer from the inherent limitation of GPS technology in dense circuitry, which results in poor monitoring reliability and many false alerts (oftentimes there was no GPS reception even on school buses).
We evaluated hundreds of devices and selected one that supports our objective to provide the following key capabilities:
- Sufficient battery life to support
- Continuous 30-second monitoring for a full day covering all locations and transits
- Frequent 10-second GPS updates for our special Runner mode (to find a missing child). This is especially critical with special needs children when every second counts.
- 1-Way and 2-Way Voice capabilities for well-being checks.
- SOS Button for calling directly from the device
- High-quality GPS (SiRF 4 or equivalent, with high sensitivity)
- Robust and water resistant
Proactive alerts to routine deviations and providing consistent location updates in poor GPS and cellular conditions are indispensable features. Supporting these capabilities require enough power to sustain the device and can only be achieved with larger battery size and an equally accommodating device.
