Why safety is so important when hiking and during solo sporting activities — and how JAMES can help you.
There are moments when we simply want to be on our own: A morning walk in the forest, the fresh mountain air while hiking, an evening bike ride, or Nordic walking to clear the mind. Older people in particular love these moments of time out — they stand for freedom, independence, and joie de vivre.
But what if something suddenly happens? An unexpected fall. Heat-related symptoms. A misstep on uneven ground.
Ingrid is 68 and enjoys going for regular walks. For more than ten years, she has been out and about with her walking poles — in almost any weather. “That is my way of relaxing, my ritual. When I am outside in the morning, my thoughts simply organize themselves,” she says. But a year ago, something happened that made her rethink her approach.
The moment that changed everything “It was actually a completely normal morning. As always, I was alone and moving briskly through the floodplain. And suddenly — everything went black. Only for a moment. But that was enough to give me a terrible shock.” Ingrid recovered and went home — but the feeling that something could happen would not leave her.
Since then, Ingrid has worn her JAMES emergency watch on every walking round. “It does not constantly remind me of danger. On the contrary. I hardly notice it — but I know it is there. If I need help, I only have to press a button. And my daughter can see where I am. That is a comfort for both of us.”
With JAMES on your wrist, you know: if the worst should happen, someone is there.
The JAMES emergency watch looks like a sporty wristwatch — but it is so much more: it is your emergency call button, a location device, and your direct connection to your family or to fast help. One press of a button is enough — and JAMES connects you with a trusted contact or, depending on your choice, with a professional emergency call center.
Whether you are trying a new route at the weekend or simply taking your daily walk in nature: with JAMES on your wrist, you know that someone is there for you if the worst should happen. Discreet — but reliable.
You choose to enjoy life to the fullest — JAMES ensures that you can enjoy it safely.
