IF you already have an email domain you control.
Calling “acquiring and setting up an email domain and configuring the mail server for wildcards” “basically no extra effort” is a bit disingenuous compared to “solve a captcha for a Gmail account”

Yeah, inductive charging is basically a must.
Especially because it eliminates the guesswork if the watch is correctly seated to charge

No actual technical solution here, but it smells slightly of XY-Problems.
From what you described it seems the main issues are
- too many calls
- not knowing who’s calling
- not wanting to answer the phone
- not reaching the phone in time
Maybe you could look into solutions like setting a custom ringtone for important callers or having the phone announce caller names so your mother can decide if she wants to make the effort to get her phone.
I’m speculating a bit here but I can imagine that getting up and answering the phone is exhausting for your mother. Also if her mindset is " a ringing phone means it’s important" that could make it even more stressful.
Maybe you could find a way to let her silence all calls except caregivers and ICE contacts. (On Android DND exceptions could work for that)
That way she doesn’t feel pressured to answer the phone every time it rings and stays reachable.
If it’s actually just the physical issue of reaching the phone in time, does she have a convenient way to carry the phone indoors like a lanyard?
Hope some of this helps you

Okay, you got me there. In all fairness, as instruction videos go, that one is on the tame side.
Thanks for posting the instructions here.
