A couple of things that affect selection for me is that it needs to be nearly indestructible, and it needs be independent of a cell phone for standard use. Here is one of the ones I'm looking at: http://www.doki.com/.
These look pretty cool.

That is scary that a company would engage in that level of negligence. Not surprising, but scary.

Just implant gps in their skull like in Total Recall

@momurda that's actually an 1830s era booger extractor.

That is a decent option. Not sure about the monthly pricing, but they're aiming at my market.

@kelly You should look into some of the healthcare solutions they use for patients who have dementia IMO. Might find something there

I think Samsung has cellular in their latest watch, too. But haven't tried it.
Indeed they do. Doesn't require a phone at all.

I'm waiting for a fourth gen one before I consider getting one.

I have the Gen 2 (without the integrated dial capability - needs the phone to use) and I've used it to receive calls before but not a real fan. Too "Inspector Gadget" for me and not loud enough, although that could be because I'm getting old lol. Otherwise the thing is awesome at everything else, even tracking my heart condition.

Slimmer with better battery, or some issue you're wanting them to correct?

I've just heard a rumor from inside that it's a major update that people should wait on.
