Making the watch a suped up life alert means it would actually sell as a gift or personal purchase for older people who live alone or just older people. Sorry some of you are lame and can’t see the usefulness but buying this for an older ~70 year old relative is actually a thoughtful and useful thing. That it also works in younger people is swell.

It's also great as a really basic phone (once setup).

So get grandma the most basic and cheap iphone that works with the latest Apple Watch, pair them, then just keep the iphone around the house somewhere. It'll make calls and texts without issue (LTE version, duh).

Wirecutter did an article last year about using an Apple Watch as a phone full time.
