Customer Ratings & Reviews

We had the predecessor to this and it was great. The only drawback to this is the band, but they’re replaceable and customizable so in a way that’s better!

It was hard to get set up for Grandson, who does not have Verizon like Grandparents do. Had to use GIZMO APP.

So far so good! Keeps track and our child can message and call anytime. Love the app for it. Great start before the phone.

Easy to use but a little clunky. My son hits the face on a lot because it's so big and thick.

After much research my wife (Grandma) bought this watch as a Christmas present at Best Buy for my oldest Grandson, who is now in Middle School. LG makes this Smart Watch for Verizon specifically for kids and with parents and Grandparents in mind. Unfortunately, at my Grandson's school cell phones were routinely being stolen out of the kid's back packs. So, having this wonderful watch strapped to his wrist eliminated that issue. As a Grandparent this Verizon Gizmo gives me a 'peace-of-mind' that my Grandson can contact his parents or us at any time, or, wherever he needs too regardless of wherever he is. WooHoo! Why do I think Gizmo is a great watch for my Grandson? ** Communication – As far as Grandma and I are concerned this is the most important feature. This Gizmo features two-way communication, voice or text. Through the Verizon GizmoHub App parents can choose up to ten trusted and reliable phone numbers of their choice that can call the kids. Numbers not on the list cannot get through. How cool is that? Additionally, twenty pre-approved (by parents), pre-set, text messages can be sent from the Gizmo to parents. However, I can can send text messages of any kind on my smart phone to my Grandson, but ONLY through the GizmoHub App. ** GPS Tracking & Safety – As a Grandparent I am glad that Gizmo has this feature for obvious safety concerns. But, it is NOT my intention to track every movement of my Grandson. And, I hope that I never need to rely on this feature for his security. The GizmoHub App allows a limited number of people to utilize this 'tracking' feature' as determined by the parents. Boundaries can be set using the GizmoHub App. When my Grandson exceeds any of the geographical boundaries set by his parents automated alerts are sent, accordingly. ** 4G LTE Connectivity – This is an important feature for speed and dependability. While Grandma was doing her research on Kid's smart watches she found many of the bargain-priced watches were only 2G, and or, 3G. Since we are now in 2020 many 2G networks have been shutdown and, it is predicted 3G will soon follow the same fate. This watch is upward and downward compatible from 2G to 4G. ** Voice Quality – I was amazed at the crisp, distinct voice reception while phoning my Grandson on his new Gizmo. On his end he stated that he heard me loud and clear. This watch reminds me of my childhood days 60 years ago – The Dick Tracy Watch. YooHoo! ** Parental Control – Another strategic feature that parents can utilize almost completely, or, any measures of partial control. Parents can control when the watch turns ON and OFF through the GizmoHub App. His parents can create a 'To DO' list for my Grandson, which he can check off when finished. ** GizmoHub App – First of all this App can be downloaded for Android or IOS for FREE. Grandma has a Samsung and I have and Apple – both phones work consistently with this App. The Gizmo App gives us GPS tracking locations, set boundaries, 9 trusted telephone contact numbers in addition to the person setting this App up (10 total). Besides location, It shows us the parental 'To Do' list, battery charge info, number of phone calls, and number of steps taken if activated. It also allows parents to monitor other children and their Gizmo phones. It allows parents to set 'Quiet Times', when school is in session, etc. ** For Kids – The Verizon Gizmo allows the kids to select the various watch faces, colors, and the sound volumes. It allows them to record their verbal notes using their voices. It gives them a list of the people they can call, and, pictures of the folks to be called can be easily be installed. ** Recommendations: * First, consider replacing the furnished plastic watchband with a 20 or 22 mm standard clasp watchband. It will keep this watch from falling off. The original watchband has a tendency to unclasp easily. * Get a 'Protection' Policy from Verizon for this watch. Remember kids are going to 'actively' use this watch, and, who knows? * IP67 WP Rating – It has been my experience in the past that this rating will withstand water being splashed or immersed (up to 3 feet) in very shallow water on the device, like rain, hand washing etc., for a very limited time. However, you cannot swim with this device on, or submerge it into deeper water. Be aware! ** Summary – Both Grandma and I are pleased with all of the great features of this well designed watch. I highly recommend the purchase of this watch for Safety, Communication, and 'peace-of-mind'. It is a great alternative to a cell phone, but can be used in sync with one. It is inexpensive both as a purchase and as an added expense to your monthly cell phone bill.

My first watch didnt work well but had no problem getting an exchange. It works well and is easy to use. Great for children use and parent use.

I haven’t given it to my son yet because I got it as a Christmas present. However I have set everything up and from what I have seen so far I like it.

Love it only thing I would change would be the texting can’t text buddies

Bought for our son as a birthday gift and he loves it hes able to get ahold of us in case of an emergency.

Awesome way to contact a child for a fraction of the cost. Love the additional features

My son has had previous Gizmo's and this one certainly offers the most. Works good and he loves the Emojis. Easy to connect to Verizon.

Easy to use. Good for kids. It is not luxury is a necessity.

We opted to try the gizmo watch for our son before buying him a phone. It seemed like a great option for the price.
