Requires compatible setup and service. Confirm the case size before purchase; cellular service, alternative bands, protective accessories, and charging equipment are separate.
Before You Buy
This guide is for Apple Watch SE 3 GPS + Cellular. Apple specifies an iPhone 11 or later with iOS 26 or later for setup. Confirm the current requirements and an eligible carrier plan. A GPS-only watch is not the same purchase, and a cellular model still needs the appropriate connection and activation to work away from the phone.
A watch can make calling and consensual location sharing easier when a phone is in a bag or out of reach. It is not a guarantee that every fall will be detected, every location will update, or an investigator receives an alert. Decide which functions you need and test each with the person who will wear it.
Subscriptions
Plan prices are references and subject to confirmation. Provider taxes and fees are additional unless confirmed as included. We confirm compatibility, the service, billing period, and actual charge before arranging a plan. Provider subscriptions are separate from Heavy Cover and the equipment price.
AT&T watch service starts at $10.99/month with an eligible AT&T Unlimited plan, before taxes and fees. Any required phone line is separate. Standalone watch service and other account configurations are quoted separately. We confirm the compatible plan and actual charge before activation.
What You Need
- A compatible iPhone for ordinary setup, an Apple Account, and the required software updates. Apple's family setup has separate requirements.
- A properly fitting band, compatible charging cable, and suitable power adapter. Check what is included in your selected purchase.
- An eligible watch cellular plan for the intended independent use. For ordinary setup, Apple specifies the same carrier as the iPhone; family setup can differ.
- Optional protective accessories must fit the selected case size and leave the controls and sensors usable.
Installation And Setup
Prepare The iPhone
Update the phone, turn on Bluetooth, and connect it to the internet. If the watch was previously owned, resolve Activation Lock with the previous owner rather than using a bypass service.
Pair Through Apple's Watch App
Turn on the watch and hold it beside the unlocked iPhone. Follow the setup prompt, or open Watch, All Watches, Add Watch. Choose the correct wearer and finish pairing.
Protect The Account And Watch
Complete Apple Account sign-in and set a passcode. Review the permissions you grant. Do not give another person your Apple Account password to enable sharing.
Activate Cellular If Needed
On iPhone, open Watch, My Watch, Cellular, then Set Up Cellular and follow the carrier instructions. Confirm eligibility and any ongoing charge directly with the carrier.
Review Safety And Sharing
Check Medical ID, emergency contacts, Emergency SOS, and Fall Detection settings. Set up consensual location sharing through Find My where appropriate. Review how to stop sharing and which device supplies the location.
Test Your Setup
- Make an ordinary call to a consenting contact with the phone nearby, then verify the intended away-from-phone connection without dialing an emergency number.
- Have the intended recipient check a shared location and its update time. Confirm the sharing can be ended.
- Review the emergency settings on-screen; do not stage a fall or trigger a false emergency call to test them.
- Wear the watch through an ordinary day and check whether the charging routine leaves it available when needed.
If Something Does Not Work
Calls Fail Away From The Phone
Check that the model is GPS + Cellular, the plan is active, and the watch has a usable connection. Nearby-phone success does not test independent service.
Location Is Old Or Unexpected
Check the selected sharing device, permissions, connection, and timestamp. Do not assume an old position is the wearer's current location.
An Emergency Feature Is Not Available
Check the exact model, region, settings, and Apple's requirements. Do not copy a feature list from an Ultra or a different Watch model.
Safe And Lawful Use
- Location sharing needs the wearer's informed permission and lawful authority. Do not use a family account to conceal monitoring.
- Apple emergency features and their notifications are not automatically a Crime Fixer dispatch connection. Confirm any separate service arrangement explicitly.
- If an emergency call is made accidentally, remain on the call and explain instead of hanging up.

Connecting It To Crime Fixer
We confirm the model, compatibility, permissions, and access before connecting a device. Buying hardware does not provide investigator monitoring or response by itself, or guarantee that every feature can be connected.
Any Cover monitoring or response depends on your selected subscription, supported equipment, permissions, and service availability. Products purchased from Crime Fixer and their included Install, Care, and ID benefits require active, paid Heavy Cover.
Buying And Setting Up
An active, paid Heavy Cover subscription is required to purchase any product from Crime Fixer and receive the included Install, Care, and ID benefits. Investigative Services and Lite Cover do not qualify. Adding Heavy to a cart does not establish active coverage. Public guides, basic price information, and requests for a future quote remain available without a subscription. Product selections are quote interest only, not purchases or provider-plan activations.
Equipment is purchased separately. Product prices are U.S. dollar references before applicable sales tax, shipping, and payment processing fees. We confirm current prices and availability before purchase; they may change with sales, suppliers, and configuration. Optional accessories and Physical Honeypot materials require a current quote.
Install includes setup, basic installation, configuration, testing, practical fixes, and additional security measures based on our tests for supported products purchased from Crime Fixer; these are included while Heavy Cover is active and paid, as time and resources allow. On-site product work is limited to the Cover service area. Work beyond our qualifications or legal authority, including complex wiring, network infrastructure, and commercial-grade installations, requires a specialist.
Care includes optimizing and maintaining supported products purchased from Crime Fixer, keeping them running, and updating their software while Heavy Cover is active and paid, as time and resources allow. While Heavy Cover is active and paid, we cover the replacement cost if a product purchased from Crime Fixer is damaged or stolen, using the same model or a comparable model. We do not cover damage you cause by misusing or tampering with the product or performing your own maintenance or repairs. Lost products are not covered.
You may use these public guides independently. Compatible existing equipment can connect to supported Cover functions with the required permissions; this is not a promise of free physical setup, installation, or maintenance for equipment bought elsewhere.
ID support requires active, paid Heavy Cover and currently trackable people, pets, vehicles, or items. Location sharing must be set up with us through a compatible device or tracker purchased from Crime Fixer. A person must carry or wear the device; pets, vehicles, and items need compatible built-in tracking or an attached tracker. ID Kit contents and publication channels require approval by email or text before distribution to investigators, law enforcement, or social media. Advance approval may cover a later missing-person or stolen-property incident with the same contents and channels; changes require further approval. Paid advertising needs separate approval and payment; campaign work remains included in Heavy Cover.
The device belongs to you. Care covers qualifying damaged or stolen products purchased from Crime Fixer while Heavy Cover is active and paid, subject to the exclusions above; it does not cover lost products. Applicable manufacturer warranties are separate.
Required carrier, data, cloud, or manufacturer subscriptions are separate from Heavy Cover and any quoted equipment price. You may pay providers directly or, while Heavy Cover is active and paid, have Crime Fixer arrange and pay confirmed provider plans for products purchased from Crime Fixer, where the provider permits. You pay the actual provider cost, including provider taxes and fees, separately from Heavy Cover; we add no management fee. We confirm each service, billing period, and charge before arranging it. Payment processing fees are described in the Service Terms. Atlas XL hardware is included with an active Spytec plan; reference prices are $24.95/month or $215.40/year paid upfront, separate from Heavy Cover. A quote request does not enroll you in, charge for, or renew a provider plan.
Customization is included as an option for supported GPS trackers and tags. Bait items, materials, and additional equipment require a quote. Extra hidden cameras require a product purchase with installation or a separately approved Automated Surveillance deployment, agreed before proceeding.
Before you pay for a purchase or subscription we arrange, we confirm availability, the actual equipment and configuration, accessories, plan, billing period, applicable sales tax, shipping, payment processing fee, and total with you by email or text message. Unknown equipment, tax, or shipping charges remain pending, not zero. No shipping charge is added when shipping is not needed.
