SmartWatch or Embrace

Hello, I was looking into purchasing either the SmartWatch or Embrace seizure alert. Is one better than the other? What have been your experiences with wearable seizure monitors? Thank you! Smilemily

I just got my Embrace 2 this past Tuesday & it has been nothing but trouble for me.  It disconnects from my bluetooth every 30 mins to a hour.  It claims to have a 30 foot range but I can't even get 15 feet away on the same floor level.  It even disconnects when the phone is less than a foot away from me.  It keeps giving me false alerts & I can't get the notifications from it to go away on my phone.  I've been going back & forth w/support for days now & they are no help at all.
