great way to keep in contact with your kids. Provides GPS location and allows them to call and send you basic texts. Great if you don't want your child getting sucked into a cell phone/social media.

Perfect for my elementary kid. It gives me peace of mind to be able to track him and know I can get ahold of him and he can me as well. Easy and simple to use.

We bought this watch for my 9 year-old son. It works great for him to send us messages through the app. He typically uses the voice texts because there are only a limited number of pre-loaded texts. The location feature works well for us too. We did replace the watch band (20mm band Velcro band from amazon) but it is definitely worth it. I would highly recommend this for kids who need a way to communicate with parents but are not ready for a phone.

I really love the concept of this watch, however it would be nice to to have an option for wireless Bluetooth for wireless EarPods when you want to have a private conversation with your child rather than always on speaker. Also, if it had a camera for video calling it would be a plus, like other kids watches carried by other carriers. As for the actual watch everything is ok aside from a few dropped calls at certain locations, where I am sure it’s a problem with Verizon reception not the actual watch.

Easy to use and set-up. We just wanted to be able to contact and check-in periodically as well as track location for emergencies.
Easy for the kids to use. Ages 8 & 10.

I bought this for my nine year old that is not quite ready for an iPhone. This upgraded version allows up to ten phone numbers for incoming/outgoing calls, a task master, a tracker, an activity monitor, pre-formatted texts, everything that you need to stay in touch with your little one and works with Verizon so the service is spectacular!

Bought these as an upgrade to my Gizmo Gadget and so far it has not disappointed. Changing settings, adding todo's and contacts is so much faster. In the old version it would take quite a bit for every change which was bit of nuisance. I do also like that they finally added real time tracking which is a nice plus. Just make sure if your upgrading from the old devices to reset or delete them first from the app. It will save you a lot of trouble linking them to the app!

We purchased this watch for our 10 year old grandson. His parents did not want him to have a phone yet so this was a great compromise! He is able to call and text us and it also tracks his steps and location. He loves it!

If your child wants, need, a phone this is the best thing. Less cost per month and easy to use. My 10yo didn't even want a phone, didn't think he could take care of it. He loves his gizmo and takes care of it. I am knocking of a star because the exclusivity of the charger. It can't be replaced, so take care of it!

Great watch for kids. Love how easy to use. The only bad thing is the band is horrible. Cheap/small plastic. My son is 8 and it wouldn't fit his wrist. Good news you can easily replace it with standard 20mm watch band.

We purchased this watch for my 7 year old son to replace the older Gizmo and we love it. It's a better size for his little hand and the call quality is better and I love how I can track where he is throughout the day.

Love love love this watch for my 8yr old. We live in a great neighborhood and boys like to roam around. It’s nice for him to learn the responsibility of calling to check in.
So far we haven’t had to track him with the gps but have tested for accuracy and it’s right on point.

I’m sure the GizmoWatch is great for some, but my kid is a little overactive and blows through watch bands. Plus it seems a little on the young side for the age point it’s advertised for.

After deliberating for the past 2 years we finally sprang for a smartwatch to help communicate with our 11yo as well as increase safety for when she may have to be without us a short while. So far the set up and interface are all very user friendly, Verizon’s customer service has been excellent as usual, and we only need to customize with a more girl-friendly band. Overall a solid choice for our needs as far as we can tell.

This is an incredible device to be able to communicate with your child. The GPS works amazing and is incredibly accurate. The speakerphone and microphone are very clear. Will definitely purchase one for my other child.
