The Medical Guardian MGMini is generally a solid choice if you're looking for reliable GPS tracking in a medical alert system.
But when it comes to being waterproof, there's a catch. According to the manufacturer's product description, the MGMini is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. So, it's fine with a little rain or the occasional splash, but it won't hold up in the shower or if you decide to go for a swim.
If you need something for everyday water exposure, like swimming or taking baths, you'll probably want to look into devices specifically labeled as waterproof. Knowing the difference between water-resistant and waterproof really matters, especially if you want your device to last.
Our research suggests that some folks have had no issues with the MGMini handling light rain or accidental splashes. But if your routine involves being in water a lot, you'd be better off playing it safe and keeping it out of these conditions.
Aside from the water resistance, the MGMini is pretty impressive in terms of GPS tracking, with 4G GPS capabilities that keep track of real-time locations.
This is handy for staying on top of things in case of an emergency, especially for seniors who are active. Just make sure your area has a strong 4G network, since that affects how well it can send out alerts.
Overall, while the MGMini does a great job as a GPS tracker, keep its water-resistance limitations in mind. If needing something fully waterproof is a dealbreaker, you might have to look at some other models.
