The Tranquil watch kept our parent with dementia safe and helped us locate them on a number of occasions.

When should families consider GPS monitoring for a loved one with dementia? “The earlier you start, the better,“ says Dr. Maria Carrillo, Chief Science Officer at the Alzheimer’s Association. “Wandering can happen at any stage, and having safety measures in place before an incident occurs is crucial for both the person with dementia and their caregivers.“
Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia brings emotional and practical challenges, especially around safety and independence. While you want to give them freedom, the fear of them wandering or going missing is always in the back of your mind.
That’s where the Tranquil Watch comes in: a discreet, elegant GPS device designed specifically for people with memory loss. It helps families stay connected and safe — without compromising dignity or independence.
1. Relax Knowing You’ll Be Alerted Before It’s Too Late
60% of people with Alzheimer’s will wander at least once. If they’re not found within 24 hours, half will suffer serious injury or death (Alzheimer’s Association).
It’s every caregiver’s worst nightmare. And it often happens quietly, in minutes, before anyone realizes they’re gone. That’s why every minute counts when someone with dementia goes missing.
Cheaper GPS devices only send app notifications, which are easily missed. The Tranquil Watch can call you the moment your loved one steps outside (or out of a safe area you set.)
You can even set it to bypass silent mode while you’re asleep. And if you don’t pick up, it automatically calls the next emergency contact. You’ll still get app alerts too, but unlike every other device, Tranquil doesn’t rely on them.
This means someone always gets the alert. Fast. And your loved one gets help before things turn dangerous.

2. No Worries About the Battery Dying When It Matters Most
Most GPS trackers for Alzheimer’s last less than 48 hours (if that). This means you’re constantly worrying whether it’s been charged, or worse, discovering it’s been dead for hours when they go missing.
The Tranquil Watch changes everything. It runs for an average of a week on a single charge, even with location updates every 2 minutes. No more constant trips or daily reminders to charge it that stress everyone out.
If they do go missing, it has ‘emergency tracking mode’ with location updates every 30 seconds. This level of performance simply isn’t available in cheaper alternatives that prioritize low prices over life-saving reliability.
While your loved one enjoys a full week of independence, you get a full week of genuine peace of mind.

3: Independence Is Priceless, Memory Care Isn’t
Memory care facilities average $7,900 per month, nearly $95,000 annually (National Investment Center).
But the real cost isn’t just financial. It’s seeing your loved one lose their sense of home, their familiar surroundings, and often their will to thrive.
Many families are pushed into this heartbreaking decision not because their loved one needs full-time care, but simply because they can’t safely monitor them 24/7 at home.
The Tranquil Watch changes this equation completely. It lets your loved one stay in their own home longer by giving you the confidence to manage their safety remotely. You know exactly where they are, can respond quickly if they wander, and have real-time peace of mind.
At a fraction of the cost of memory care, the Tranquil Watch can pay for itself in just weeks. More importantly, it preserves what no amount of money can buy back: their dignity, independence, and the comfort of home.
The question isn’t whether you can afford the Tranquil Watch. It’s whether you can afford the alternative.

4. They’ll Actually Want to Wear It (Unlike Ugly Medical Devices)
Let’s face it, most medical alert devices are clunky, embarrassing, and scream “I’m vulnerable.” It’s no wonder many people refuse to wear them.
The Tranquil Watch looks like an elegant dress watch you’d find at a jewelry store. It comes in multiple sophisticated colors and styles that they’ll actually want to wear. No awkward conversations. No resistance. No need to check whether it’s ‘gone missing’ again.
This means your loved one is far more likely to wear it every day, which makes it more effective at keeping them safe. After all, what good is a tracker sitting in a drawer because your loved one won’t wear it?
Worried they can’t read an analog clock? With one press of the side button, the time displays in a clear digital format. It’s perfect for anyone who’s used to checking the time on a digital watch or phone.
The optional free locking strap provides extra security when needed, so it can’t be removed without a caregiver’s help. Discreet safety meets dignified design.
The best device is the one they’ll actually wear.

5. End the Worry: ‘Did They Put It Back On After Showering?’
Other GPS watches are only splash-proof, not fully waterproof. That means if your loved one forgets to take it off before a shower or bath, it could break entirely…
This creates an impossible situation. Either the device dies from water damage, or you lose protection because they forgot to put it back on. Both scenarios leave you completely vulnerable when you need safety most.
The Tranquil Watch is fully waterproof, meaning it never has to come off to wash. They can shower, bathe, even swim while maintaining complete protection. No broken devices, no forgotten watches, no gaps in coverage.
Thanks to the free locking strap, it stays securely on their wrist through daily life and bathing. If they slip or fall, a simple press of the SOS button sends you an immediate alert or call (even from the shower.)
True peace of mind means never having to ask that dreaded question: “Did they remember to put it back on?”

David especially likes the call feature. He no longer remembers how to use a cell phone, so it is a huge relief, to him, to be able to push that SOS button on his watch & know that the watch will connect him to one of his family. What a huge blessing!
Thank you to Tranquil technicians for great customer care and creating this wonderful technology for our dementia loved ones!!

This watch has been an absolute game changer for our family. It has allowed our father to remain living independently and has saved us from the financial and emotional toll of moving him to assisted living.
We’re so grateful to Tranquil for providing the tools necessary to help keep him safe.

I experienced considerable peace of mind using Tranquil. My husband used to wander out, which was terrifying for all of us. The police found him wandering down the middle of a very busy highway after dark.
Once we got Tranquil, it was such a relief to see that he had just wandered out the back to our fenced-in yard.
