Best in class due to what it has and does NOT have
This is the best GPS/Phone Watch for kids under 12. We purposely sought this watch because it does NOT have games or other apps/bells/whistles for kids to dork around with. Instead, for parents who want to provide their kids an opportunity to call/text them and select friends and want GPS monitoring, this is just what you want. We initially purchased one watch for one kid two years ago (right when X6Play was released). The connectivity was a little spotty then. However, after several firmware updates over the past several years, it is now working really well. We were so pleased that we recently bought a second watch for our second-oldest kid. This second watch has worked great. So, I think that all of the kinks are worked out.

Amazing Kids watch!
This watch is VERY easy to set up and use. My daughter understood how to use it the first day. We can text, call and check her location from the app. I recommend it!

Great for kids who are not ready for a phone
We love this watch for my daughter, she is not ready for a phone and this is a great option. The tracking is great to know where she is at all times. The watch is easy to use and she loves the different color bands and face plates. Calling is easy for her and it is very clear.
