I usually use it when I’m out and about. I just hold my wrist close to my mouth and talk quietly into it. Makes me feel like a spy. 😉 I don’t think it’s much different than people having a phone conversation—actually I’m probably much quieter than that.

Also—I have one and rarely text type—I just press the microphone button and talk and it does a great job.

My 86 year old dad has one and he’s not very techy at all. The only problem we have with him wearing it is charging it. Sometimes he forgets to put it back on when he takes it off to charge. It called me and the police this summer when he had a UTI (we didn’t know this at the time) and he fell. He was completely disoriented. We were able to tell that his heart rate had not dropped before the episode, which helped eventually figure out that he had a UTI and not a heart attack or passed out for some other reason. Totally worth it. He can also use it to answer the phone when I call if he’s not near his cell or the house phone.
