20 Best Watch Phone For Kids (2023 Updated)

Bought for 4 year old as birthday present. Loves his sisters pink version. Was on fence about smart watch for 4 year old but it has lot of good learning in it and encourages physical activity. Watch very easy to set up and use.

He figured out most features himself. Is very useful for teaching telling the time obviously. Has few games and features like camera filters. Both my kids use theirs mostly every day. They enjoy tracking their activities and beating their best times.

I wish it came with just a the few few more games maybe but will download more content for them. Sturdy, good battery and really useful for keeping them amused on long car journeys too.

My 8 year old daughter bought this with her Christmas money and she absolutely loves it! The various applications keep her busy and she is keen to learn how to tell the time. This watch makes her feel very grown up as she covets her dad and brother’s apple watches.

The picture quality isn’t great, but that isn’t a major issue at all. It comes with a lovely protective box and fits nicely on her little wrist. Very pleased with this purchase.

I don’t know who comes up with these age ratings but this is definitely not for a 4 year old. My daughter’s mother bought this and now I find out that it didn’t even come with a wall charger? Seriously?! 🤦‍♂️ I’m not going to plug this in for 3 hours every couple of days just so she can use it.

Why not have it be like other watches where it can charge at night on it’s own charger. Also the age rating should be changed to 7 years old. Unless you have a savant kid they’re not going to fully utilize this device if they are younger than about 6 or 7.

And I mean what is this teaching if the only thing the younger kids can figure out are the picture taking apps. Great. another tool to make the next generation self-absorbed.

My 4 yr old had been asking me for a watch for a long time, so when I was allowed to try this one, I was excited to give it to him. When it arrives, you have to charge it first, but the great thing about that is it only takes 3 hours to charge the first time fully.

This watch does so much more than we thought it would. It teaches kids how to tell time. There are educational games and fun games. My son’s favorite is when you scan your finger, and it tells you which kind of monster you are; I was a noodle monster.

He will sit down, and this little watch will keep him entertained for hours. We love to use it on road trips, plus with the camera and video recorder, he feels like he can take part in things we do, such as take pictures along the way and document his road trip.

We love this watch!.

My 9 year old granddaughter absolutely loves this VTech KidiZoom Smartwatch DX. She and her friends all have this awesome smartwatch and are having lots of fun together all while learning. This watch is great for learning to tell time and so much more but it’s also educational.

This smartwatch is easy to use, has dual cameras , an interactive monster game and others as well as a pedometer to monitor her activity level. The watch has a 3D clock face with an alarm , timer and calendar.

It’s very similar to my smartwatch but with much cooler features!! This is a quality and very well-made smartwatch.

My son has been asking for a smart watch like my husband has for a long time now, so we were super excited to try this product. We love VTech and find that they are always high quality, engaging and educational products.

This watch was no different! My son LOVED it. He really enjoys the games, but also that there is a camera! We plan to purchase another for his sister, which is awesome that they can link up and play together.

This is great for teaching him how to tell time, and it looks really sleek and stylish. I think this is a great toy that will last through the years.

My daughter is obsessed with mine and my husbands smart watch, so I was so pumped to get this for her! The actual face of the watch was bigger than I imagined. I thought it was too big, but quickly realized it was sized great.

The watch flips open and has four different buttons inside that can be pressed. Each button lights up a different part of the watch, and makes a unique sound. I love that there are four different buttons as it keeps her busy for quite a while.

This also comes with a red watch band and a blue watch band. My daughter loves being able to switch out the bands just like mom and dad. Lastly, it has a yellow button on the side, (exactly like mom and dads as well).

This button also triggers lights and sounds, in a more random fashion. Overall, this was a huge win for our family. I no longer have to hand over my watch for my toddler’s entertainment, and she loves feeling like a grown up!.

My daughter is 2 almost 3 and got this toy. So the idea of the toy is cute! But to call it a “smart watch” ehhh. Doesn’t make sense. All it does is light up and make sounds. It doesn’t actually tell time so the words “smart watch” doesnt make any sense.

The face of the watch is massive and bigger than my almost 3 year olds arm. Also the band of the watch is impossible to snap together especially for a 2 year old which is the recommended age to play with this.

I struggled to get it snapped and it takes forever. Then the face of the watch is hard to open so if you pull too trying to open that then the band snaps off the wrist. Again cute concept but definitely too difficult for a 2-3 year old.

My toddler played with for all of 5 minutes and hasn’t touched since. Because it does nothing.

I previously had the Original Galaxy Watch which was nothing but a glorified notification device and very slow, buggy, and cumbersome to use. I waited to upgrade for 3 more iterations (2, 3, 4) hoping a lot of the bugs would be worked it.

And honestly this watch is still more or less a glorified notification device and is basically worthless if you’re a Verizon customer and use Verizon proprietary apps because you cannot download them on your watch.

For example, if you use the Verizon Messages App and go to start a new message from your watch it requires you to set a different message app as default in order to start a message. What’s the point? Why would Verizon sell something that is incompatible with it’s native proprietary apps? For some reason if you receive a message on your watch, it shows up as being from the Verizon Messages app and you can respond to it, however if you swipe it away there’s no way to get back to it and again no way to start a new one.

So it’s only 1 way compatible or what does this mean??? What’s even worse, I initiated a chat with Tech support who had absolutely no idea whether the Verizon Messages app was compatible with the Galaxy Watch.

The person on the chat promised me a resolution in the beginning and then could not deliver and kept wasting my time asking me to check the app store which I already informed them I had done and was the reason I initiated the chat (i.

e to see if the app was compatible or not). Also, the standalone feature is garbage, if you do try to respond to a message and you aren’t near your watch, it either will not be able to send the message or it will say, cannot send from phone, use watch number instead? What’s the point??? Additionally, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve answered a call on my watch as I’m headed back to my phone only to get back to my phone and find out I can’t transfer the call to my phone (S22 Ultra).

The workout/fitness stuff seems ok I guess but if you want to separately measure your heartbeat you better not move a muscle or it will give you a sensor error, however if you have activated a workout on the watch, somehow it shows as being able to read your heartbeat the whole time no matter how much you are moving, how does this make any sense at all? The individual heartbeat app makes you hold still but the heartbeat monitor built into the workout isn’t the same? So if you haven’t activated a workout and you are doing cardio for example, how the heck can you get a reading without stopping and holding absolutely still? I absolutely love my Galaxy S22 Ultra, I’ve been a Samsung Galaxy Phone user since the Note 3 but Samsung’s Watches seem to be Garbage, and moreso on on Verizon.

My wife has an Apple watch and iPhone 13 (both on Verizon as well) and I am SUPER impressed at how well the Apple Watch works and what it can do (I would get one if it were possible to use it with my phone).

She never has problems and can literally leave her phone at home and have basically the same functionality on her watch from miles away and it uses her phone number (not a watch number). Samsung is INFINITELY far behind on the watch side and needs to step it up BIG TIME and so is Verizon on their Proprietary apps.

After owning this watch for 3 months, this watch has been able to supplement my life’s activities in some way. The main reason I bought it for the purpose of being able to track my exercise and to be used as a golf watch for pin distance.

Upon pairing with my Samsung S9+, all notifications such as text and WhatApp messages, calendar events and call were all actionable from the watch, and mitigated me having to pull out my phone to check these notification.

Things such as email to my gmail account and other application notifications were not available, however as these aren’t really urgent it didn’t really impact me. It has support for many third party applications and native Samsung applications; my Golfshot application allowed for me to check the pin distance from my phone, my F45 workouts were tracked in the Samsung Health with my heart rate and calorie counts for the session available to be viewed on both my watch and my phone, plus the ability (after a bit of fiddling) being able to control my phone’s Spotify whilst connected to my bluetooth headphones (the watch also uses bluetooth).

There’s so many apps you can use such as a compass, stopwatch, Google maps and Samsung Pay, The Samsung Health integration has a wealth of functions, even being able to measure body composition by sending electrodes around your body, providing data on BMI, water mass, bone density.

It also has a sleep monitor which will track your sleeping patterns if you wear the watch while you sleep, I haven’t tried it for the reason below. My only complaint is the battery life. Depending on usage, you’ll find yourself having to charge your watch at weird intervals if you choose to wear it to bed every night.

Given the functions of the watch somewhat demand it to be worn for 24 hours, you’ll just have to pick and choose when you want to go without, which means placing it on a USB charger the size of a 20 cent piece.

Overall it’s a great life assistant. It looks smart, you can choose for virtually an unlimited number of watch faces, there’s an app for everything you want and you can set it up to help you with anything you wish.

I received the Bluetooth version of this watch, and have been using it for a few weeks. There is also a 4G version of it. The watch comes nicely presented in a white box, and includes a proprietary magnetic USB charging pad, so you’ll need a charging block to plug this into in order to charge the watch.

Charging takes 90 minutes with my charger, and a full charge lasts ~2 days (though I’ve not used it for intensive fitness tracking). Battery life is the only downside of this watch for me, though this may be normal for smart watches.

I’ve been using this watch with a Samsung Galaxy S10 – It is not compatible with iPhone. There are certain features that only work with Samsung phones – such as full health tracking (heart rate monitor, blood oxygen level, sleep quality, stress, and body composition).

Unless you’re really into monitoring your fitness, this is unlikely to be an issue – I find basic fitness tracking (steps etc) is perfect for my needs. The watch is comfortable to wear, though I find the rubber strap can get a little bit sweaty (which may be partly due to the UK 2022 Jul/Aug heatwave).

This may not be an issue if you are a regular smart watch wearer already. Before starting the watch for the first time, I’d recommend installing Samsung’s ‘Galaxy Wearable’ app and ensuring that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.

On starting the watch, it walks you though the Bluetooth pairing process, and then gives a brief interactive demo of how to use the watch (Mostly swiping left/right/up/down to access different feature areas, and is definitely worth paying attention to).

The app allows you to configure your watch – lots of different faces etc. , as well as specifying the apps you wish to use. Other than phone and Messages, I regularly use Spotify and Samsung Pay (as it’s more convenient than using the phone).

I find this watch a very user-friendly piece of tech. If you’re happy to charge it every day or two, I’d definitely recommend it.

I’ve been using the Galaxy Watch 4 since its release and I have been quite happy with it as an overall smartwatch. It does some things very well, like notifications for texts, emails, phone calls, and NFC payments.

It has some great aesthetics too, like numerous watch faces to choose from and band styles that are easily interchangeable. Now for what its terrible at: Heart rate monitoring The heart rate is used to approximate calories burned along with other factors.

This is a feature active individuals, like myself, rely on when exercising, or simply staying on top of daily heart health. In no uncertain terms, the watch simply sucks at monitoring the heart rate.

The watch is totally terrible at providing a constant update to the heart rate. For example, as I’m doing a set of weighted chest presses, the watch shows my heart rate is elevated, which is expected.

The rate displayed is approximately close to what I feel and calculate in my pulse. As I sit and relax and my heart rate lowers, the watch completely fails to reevaluate this change in heart rhythm fast enough.

Nearly 2 minutes after my exercise set and the watch still shows the same elevated heart rate, but I can feel my pulse and simply calculate that my heart rate has dropped significantly, but the watch has no clue and hasn’t adjusted the rate.

The watch almost needs 3-5 minutes to accurately recalcuate, and by that point you’ve moved on. You need to remove the watch from your wrist, so that it doesn’t detect your pulse anymore, and reattach it for the sensors to take a new evaluation, and this won’t happen for several more minutes.

All of this means that the approximate calories burned during your exercise are WAY off. Until this is fixed, I cannot recommend this watch to anyone looking for a fitness tracker. As a simple smartwatch, it’s great.

For a fitness tracker, it’s simply terrible.

As noted in other reviews, a significant downgrade IMO from the Galaxy Watch 3. I agree with all the other reviewers on the most important points. Horrible battery life (46mm Classic) – someone said you can literally see the battery drain, and I agree.

You’ll be lucky to get through a day. If you want to monitor your sleep cycle with this, you’ll need to charge it a couple of hours sometime before you go to bed, and then again when you wake up. Best get a couple of chargers, for charging at work and at home.

I can only imagine the battery life in the 40mm. Very poorly organized interface as well, beginning with the mish-mash of apps you need to scroll through to get anywhere. And speaking of apps, very sparse selection – Samsung may think they’ve partnered with Google, but it’s abundantly apparent that Google does not agree.

And literally NOTHING is explained about how to do anything setting up this watch – coupled with the fact that nothing will import from any other Samsung watch you have. You’ll need to set up Samsung Pay all over again, you will have no watch faces (other than the elsewhere mentioned bloated list of included “cute” faces that are un-deletable, that only a 14 year old girl would wear), and downloading other watch faces (if you can find any) involves an arcane, multi-step process of paying vendors “croissants” and “wine,” and many of the faces linked through Samsung’s own Wearable app are incompatible.

The Google Play store has literally thousands of apps – only a few of which are compatible with this watch – and you will have only very basic apps, most of which duplicate what’s already (minimally) installed.

I could continue, but having spent the better part of a day trying to get this hot mess of hardware and software working, I’m frankly too tired. Rant off, there are some improvements in the health measurement components, and it may or may not be marginally faster (if it is, it’s barely detectable, but benefit of a doubt).

It’s also lighter than my Titanium 3. So I’ll be keeping it and hoping for some huge updates, but this effort is almost an embarrassment to call an “improvement. ” It does tell time, so there’s that.

The Spacetalk Adventure smart watch is a large, robust watch with a few nice tricks that allows parents to keep in touch with and track the location of their kids, but it might not be great for all families.

In my family’s time using the watch, I found some joys and some frustrations. I think it’ll be good for school, but so far we haven’t been loving it for summer. Pros: • Location tracking is easy and useful • Phone calls are very simple and easy • Step tracking gets the kid moving • Spacetalk customer service is very helpful and provides assistance setting up and using the phone • School mode allows parents to block some or all functions to allow the kid to focus • Geofencing allows parents to get notifications if their kid leaves a defined area Cons: • The watch is very large, and the band fits my large adult wrist • The band is difficult for a kid to latch themselves • Setup is kind of a long process, and the watch can’t be used on a typical inexpensive “watch” line; only the more expensive phone+data line • Doesn’t work on Verizon (not a problem for me specifically, but important to know) • No way to set gender neutral pronouns; the app allows “male,” “female,” or “unspecified” • Whether or not gender is set in the app, all notifications include something like “Xxxxx has shared his/her location” which is not only inaccurate but also awfully binary • No way to lock the screen manually (power button is on the back of the watch body); after 15 seconds the screen dims, and 5 seconds later it locks by itself • No way to exit the fitness tracking screen unless you wait for the 20-second timeout.

• No way for the kid to set contact photos Let’s cover our experience with the watch: Upon first opening the package, I noticed how big the watch is. My kid doesn’t say they mind the size very much, but I think there might be some subconscious bias about that, because they haven’t been wearing the watch every day.

The setup process was fairly long and involved with the included JumpySIM. I used the Spacetalk customer service hotline to guide me through the setup process, and I found the customer service agent friendly and thorough.

It was through this process that I learned I can’t just set the watch up on a $5/month watch-specific plan from my main carrier, T-Mobile, but would have to add a phone line. This is not ideal for my situation as a new Magenta Max line would cost quite a bit.

I might stick with JumpySIM or find some other service that offers decent coverage for less than $18/month. My next frustration was with adding me kid’s information to the watch. My kid is non-binary, and I was sad to see that the app allows only “male,” “female,” or “unspecified” as the gender options.

In addition to that, all notification’s about the kid’s activity include the phrase “his/her,” as in “Chris has shared his/her location with you. ” That’s awfully binary. I think something should be done to allow for gender neutral identities and custom pronouns in the app and notifications for those who want that option.

As I mentioned in the intro, we haven’t been loving the watch for summer, but maybe it’s our particular situation. My kid is regularly active, and they like using the step tracking function as a way to gamify that activity, but in general, they get kind of bored with it and haven’t been wearing it every day.

They stick close to home and haven’t been in any summer camps, so maybe that’s why we haven’t been pushing its use too much. I think when school starts, we’ll get more use out of it. I like that we have the option of disabling all apps or allowing specific ones to be accessed, and I like that we’ll be able to get stay in touch with our kid during and after school if necessary.

They’ll be looking after a littler sibling after school this year, so location tracking, easy phone calls, and geofencing will be very helpful.

The Spacetalk Adventurer 4G Kids Smart Watch Phone and GPS is a neat device especially for my 8 and 10 year old, they like it besides the lack of apps or games you can use on it, which is ok with myself and my wife.

The setup was easy, we chose to use the service they recommended and setup took about 30 minutes total. My 8 year old is tiny, so we have to put it on her upper arm and my 10 year old said it feels a little bulky but not too bad.

They do love the way they can easily call my wife and I and we used it a lot at the race track this past weekend to easily find them around the pits. This was probably the absolute best feature or reason for owning one, quick and easy to find your kid when they are bopping around to other kids race trailers and campers, especially when there are thousands of people around.

Yes, that sounds crazy, but guess what, ATV racing is all family, but now we just have easier access to finding them quickly. The apps are limited, I would love to have the ability to link this with Live 360 so I can have all my kids on one map as I have 4 daughters.

I do not think this would be a hard request to add with Spacetalk, hopefully it is added at some point to make the watch that much more useful. We had to add the service that enabled features, I should have looked into that first, was not expecting more charges to utilize basic features of the smart watch as my other smart watches do not need this.

I think this is a HUGE negative compared to just buying another name brand and just having the cell service added. Overall, the watch does what we need, is very useful, customer service is great and setup was easy, I could have easily did it without calling Spacetalk, but for non-techy people, the Spacetalk rep we delt with was super nice and easy to talk to, he also agreed with the Life 360 integration, he said it should be an option to use if you are already paying for the service.

I like the app and is easy to use but having all on one map would be so much simpler for big families like mine. For the price, it is a great device, just needs some polishing with what is available and what integrations could help further their success into this market.

Six months ago we purchased three TickTalk 4 watches for our three oldest children. In that time we have learned that these are the best options on the market for our family and, in my opinion, for most.

If your goal is to have a customizable, kid-friendly, GPS-enabled, multiple network, safe means by which to allow your child to communicate with you and a few other, trusted individuals, this is what you want.

This is the most cost-effective, reliable device that fit all of our needs. Our eldest child has behavioral health diagnoses that necessitate that we have a way to track her when she is not at home. Our #2 relies on the ability to reach out to both us parents and his grandparents who don’t live nearby whether it’s out of need or simply to say “hello”.

Our #3 is just old enough to leave the house on her own for a bit, but she’s still not mature enough for my husband & me to be comfortable with her going places without a direct, immediate line of contact.

These TickTalk watches enable peace of mind for parents, freedom of movement for children, and generally increased communication with extended family. When you spend this much money on a device that’s ultimately at the mercy of your elementary schooler, you want it to be durable.

While this one isn’t fully waterproof, it is definitely water resistant enough to last the average hydro-centric incidents like forgetting to be taken off in the shower, washing hands, rinsing out dishes, playing in the hose, etc.

While the TickTalk 4 has not proven to be the most resilient in actual crash testing, this has given them the opportunity to witness first-hand their great customer service and excellent company policies.

About a month ago my third kiddo dropped her watch (she doesn’t remember how, of course), and the case & screen cracked: rendering it useless. I contacted customer service via Facebook and received a rather prompt & detailed respond that fixed the problem in a very reasonable, customer-friendly manner– even though the damage caused to her watch disqualified the warranty.

All in all, this is a solid, 4/5 piece of equipment. To get all five stars I would expect the watch to handle a bit more wear & tear without busting as well as it to be waterproof. But there is no better comparable option on the market today in my book.

And that’s coming from a mom of six kids, so you know I know a thing or two about products worth buying. ;).

I am not a big fan of this watch. First it’s not waterproof, which I find very important for a phone watch given the reason I purchased a phone watch vs a flip phone or smartphone is to keep it with my son at all times.

With it not being waterproof he, of course, needs to remove it at the pool and beach and it could easily get lost. We certainly have had some scares, but fortunately it’s not been lost yet. Another issue I have with this watch is the required app interface for text messages.

All the text messages are routed through the app. I really hate the fact that I can’t just text via sms or iMessage to communicate with my son. If I had known all text messaging is though the app I wouldn’t have purchased it.

Furthermore, no one else can text him without having the tick talk app and while I understand this is a safety mechanism, I would prefer it to just block unauthorized texts rather than requiring everyone, including low tech savvy grandparents, to download a complicated one use app just to communicate with their grandson.

Furthermore, It only allows my son to send emoji’s or a voice message. The tick talk 4 should allow a typed text or at least have voice to text, so I can avoid having to listen to a message in the middle of a busy time.

Also, I use an Apple Watch (waterproof by the way) and while I get notification of my sons messages, I must open my phone to see them. If the app is going to be the only way to text message, then the developer needs to add a true iwatch interface, so texts can be seen and responded to on an Apple watch.

I do like that it’s rugged, but it’s bulky. My son doesn’t seem to mind, but he can barely put on his jacket, since it’s so thick and bulky. I also like that it has gps and I can see where my son is (or the watch if left someplace) and can also see the power level.

I do wish it had geofencing though. I also like that I can set it to ‘do not disturb’ during school and other activities. The SOS feature is also useful, but my son has two parents, so it would be really nice if he could call either in an SOS situation.

In other words two SOS’s should be provided. My son enjoys taking pictures and listening to music and likes the sense of freedom, but I think other watches have these features as well. I like that you can use any carriers SIM card.

We use Red Pocket mobile for $10 per month and that works fine. Some of the disadvantages may be advantageous in some eyes, but for a 10 y. o. boy, I find it unfriendly. Which basically makes this watch best suited for a 6/7-9 year old.

That’s a two to three year life for a $200 Watch. I didn’t return it, but I should have. I’m guessing we get 1 year out of this thing. I would have been wiser to invest in an iwatch given what I know now.

We were very excited about this watch. We wanted a way for our 10 year old to be able to communicate with us when she’s not with us and this seemed like the perfect device. It arrived quickly and packaged securely.

It seemed very durable as well! I felt very confident that it could take the beating that a 10 year old would put it through. The face talk and calls came through extremely clear and the accuracy of the GPS was very reliable.

I thought having the iheart Radio feature would satisfy that desire to have a little something extra on the watch besides just calling and texting. At first glance I was worried about the channels offered as I thought they might be too kid-friendly, but after listening to a few of them, I was relieved to find that they played today’s current pop and dance hits that you would hear on the radio.

Setting up the app was super easy and the controls offered satisfied my needs as a parent. Now for the disappointing part. My daughter is very sensory sensitive and so the bulky size of the watch was what turned her off.

Especially since she’s never even worn a watch before. I would recommend if your child is not accustomed to wearing one, to at least start with that, and then maybe they would ease into the size of the Ticktalk 4 better.

But she just could not get over it and it was very uncomfortable for her. And I needed her to love it so she would want to wear it everywhere she goes and this was not the case. Also, when it came time to add her contacts, everyone I tried to add was very apprehensive about adding another app to their phone in order to communicate with her.

(You know how grandparents can be about the unknown) And I needed her to be able to communicate with her coaches too and I definitely did not feel comfortable asking them to download the app and communicate with her separately.

So for some, this may be the perfect fit. For us it was not and I couldn’t be more bummed because we are not ready for her to have a phone with access to ALL social media, but yet we need her to be able to use a handful of some aspects of it.

So I guess it’s back to the drawing board. I will continue to follow Ticktalk’s product development in hopes that they can come up with something less bulky and a little more universally user friendly.

I will update my review again if I have any problems with our return.

We bought this space watch after being disappointed with another kids tracker watch due to that products customer service & lack of info about the product updates needed/how it works info etc. The space watch is good at calling out (as my daughter has practiced more than required!) and the volume on the watch is just about ok for conversations but it could really do with one or two more noise level increases to make it easier to hear in busy situations, especially for the incoming calling alert sound.

I like that the contacts list can have pictures alongside the names of the contacts (these show in the watch screen) to make it easier for younger kids to find who they want to call. The SOS calling button is a bit under developed I feel, as it can be easily pressed when trying to do other things on the screen.

It would have been better if it was something that didn’t go off accidentally so easily, maybe a button you have to press in on the side of the watch would be an improvement? The SOS option will call a set list of contacts until someone answers but I’m not sure if it will stop calling out if it goes to an answerphone if it deems that answered? The tracking function seems accurate so far but it could be improved by reducing the safe zone to less than 140m diameter from the safe point you program in to the app.

The app is easy enough to use and the customer service is really good, they’ve answered the phone pretty quickly whenever I’ve called. The watch itself is quite chunky and there are a lot of app options in the watch for the wearer to use, which I feel is a couple too many for the main functions of the watch.

Because if the amount of ‘stuff’ they’ve put in to the watch it does mean the writing is quite small and pressing the right area on the watch can be fiddly. The messaging function has programmable preset words or sentences you can pick from or you can write your own with a querty keyboard – this is split though so switching between two screens to complete a sentence is too much to bother with normally.

I only bought this because the previous one I bought didn’t have a reliable customer service and wasn’t as user friendly for understanding how to make it work safely and more reliably. I feel the price of the space watch is too high for the user experience but it’s the better option at the present time so I just felt I had to suck it up.

I hope improvements are made but the main function this watch serves me is to help keep track of my daughter in events situations and summer clubs where I’m not always with her.

I love the Spacetalk. I think it’s perfect for kids in year 6 who want to start getting a bit of independence, maybe walking some/all of the way to school or to a friend’s house. It’s totally secure and when you ring them, they are far more likely to answer a watch on their wrist than a muffled vibrate at the bottom of a bag.

Once you give a child a phone, it’s almost impossible to take it away again so I think the spacetalk bridges that gap between ages 10-13 where children need a phone to text/call their parents to get picked up but don’t need access to social media when they’re out and about.

My year 8 daughter has been wearing one for about a month now. The school mode is really good as it lets you add lots of sessions, better than Apple downtime which only has one start and finish time each day.

Our spacetalk is disabled during lessons but enabled at break and lunch in case our daughter needs to get a message to us. The reason I’ve only given 4 stars instead of 5 is because the battery life isn’t great and the actual charging mechanism is a bit dodgy, sometimes it isn’t in the cradle properly, although it appears to be and therefore it isn’t fully charged in the morning and dies during the day.

But overall I’d still highly recommend the spacetalk to anyone who doesn’t want to give their child a phone, and all that comes with it, yet.

We’re very happy with our Spacetalk Adventurer. It does what we want, which is enable my 10-year old to keep in contact with us. That’s handy for afterschool pick-ups, as well as generally out and about on weekends.

We use the School Mode and have it set up so that most of the watch features are not active during school hours but come on at 3pm. We also don’t allow calls or messages from other than pre-approved numbers (so no scammers, market research, etc).

We’re happy that it doesn’t do social media and doesn’t have any attractive games. The battery life is perfectly fine, -we just need to make sure we charge it each night. It’s easy to read text messages, but a bit hard to write them on such a small watch face, so my child tends to record short voice recordings and send those instead.

Unfortunately, this is the second Spacetalk Adventurer I have purchased within one year since I overestimated the ‘water resistance’ of the first watch. I had understood that it would be fine to wear while swimming, but this was wrong and the watch was destroyed.

So don’t make that mistake. Nonetheless, the fact that I went out and purchased the same watch again must say something about how much we like it otherwise.

VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch Bought this exciting gizmo for my Grandson, Ryan, for Christmas from WalMart. He just turned seven and has used this watch now for approximately two months. He couldn’t wait to take it to school to show his classmates what is does and take their photos.

I was surprised at the amazing quality of the photos and short movies he took that first day back at school. The photos and movies were uploaded to Dad’s Mac freeing-up more memory utilizing the included micro USB cord.

He can also charge the unit with this same cord. After uploading the photos and movies memory is ‘freed-up’ to allow Ryan to further his newfound photography skills with the filters and photo ‘effects’ built in to this smartwatch.

What has really proven to be valuable for Ryan is the ability of the watch to switch from digital to analog display. This has piqued his interest in learning to tell time because it gives him a digital tool to confirm his analog calculation.

This techno-wonder also lets him change the faces of the numerous analog clock displays for fun, record messages and homework memos, and works as a timer and alarm clock. It also features several built-in games with the capacity to download more on-line.

By far this is of the most interesting Christmas gifts Ryan has ever received. I highly recommend this watch as a child-friendly, techno-savvy gift for any child, or, as a great learning tool to ‘tell time’.

I bought two of these for my kids and they loved them. My 3 year old can run it with no help at all and he likes that a lot. He loves to take his own pictures without me chasing him around worried about my camera.

He was always asking if he could use my camera or phone all the time and now he doesn’t. The camera is our favorite part. It takes decent pictures and the kids can add frames to the pictures they have taken.

It actually holds a ton of pictures and they can be easily erased off it if they choose to. It comes with the camera, video recorder, a time telling feature where they can change the clock face and type.

It also will tell them the time with a press of a button. It also has a timer, and a couple of games. It’s actually priced fair because it is a cool little thing for kids. I don’t think older kids would have as much fun as a kid under 7.

I would give this as a gift because it is a neat little watch sized toy. It comes with the cables to charge it and also to transfer their pictures to a computer if you want to. My son loves it still and he’s had it since last Christmas so it hasn’t worn out his use for it yet.

It’s very tough and has held up to drops and small water splashes and sweat. It still works as good as it did when we got it. I think overloading the device with pictures will eventually slow it down but keeping the picture and video number down to 150 or so keeps it running fine.

It holds a long charge still and it’s well worth the 50 to 60 dollar price. If something happens to his I would definitely buy another because he uses it quite a lot and it’s been fun for him and he enjoys playing with it.

My oldest daughter plays with hers but shes now 7 and it’s lost most of its appeal for her. I also bought my 4 year old nephew one and he loves it too. Good for gift giving!.

This smart watch ended up being a bigger hit than I thought possible. My 4 1/2 year old granddaughter has taken picture endlessly, laughed at the funny pictures, videos and voice recordings. Even though the screen is tiny, she isn’t bothered by it at all.

She’s had a lot of experience with computers, laptops and smartphones, so I was a little worried she’d be bored, but she hasn’t been. Like all children these days, she was able to figure the programs out immediately.

If I had any suggestions for VTech, it would be to make the full screen available to video and photos. There’s a binocular type “frame” around the video, meant to be fun. But it seriously reduces the viewing of the playback videos.

After all it’s only a few inches wide. I must say, it hasn’t dimmed her excitement over the Kidizoom. All in all, I’d say it was a worthwhile purchase. There’s a huge difference in prices online, so be sure to look thoroughly to be sure you’re getting the best price (even on just Amazon.

None of that will bother the kids, though.

Bought this for my son so he would have a way to keep track of time. He absolutely loves it. There’s some really cool features on it and fun games that he enjoys playing. It has an alarm clock feature.

There are different background settings and you can choose what style time you want. Rather it be digital or old fashion clock faced. The also screen has digital images to help you choose what you want to do on the watch.

Whether it’s play a game, change settings or set the alarm. This makes it very user friendly. The watch band is softer rubber, but seems durable for now. This particular design came with a face cover to help protect the screen from scratching.

Overall I’d say this was a great purchase.

First, it’s gray that there is a cover to protect the watch face. My daughter loves that the cover is sparkly unicorn. The watch “welcomes” you when you open the cover. It shows the time with AM and PM to help children know the time.

There are menu buttons on each side where you can select alarms, play math games that include subtraction, shape matching, alphabet, and jigsaw puzzles. The display is pretty clear, and the sound isn’t overly loud.

All in all this is a neat little watch for a preschooler to first or second grader.

this thing really works love the red button bang and they are gone. Don’t get me wrong if they call it may ring 2 times and they are gone. I guess it needs to fig who is good and bad but it’s a great tool the do not call list is garbage it just don’t work but yep it does.

It works great where installed. Have been unable to make it work on my portable phones. But it has slowed the spam calls to my house. Love it.

We used to get 15 to 20 calls a day , many automated. . yesterday i got one and it was the first this week. I immediately blocked number, simple i pressed red button.

I returned a different brand camera watch and upgraded to the smart watch for my almost 6 yr old grand daughter. She loves taking pictures with my iPhone and she centers her subjects (mostly her stuffies & pets) very well.

It was supposed to be a Xmas gift but I ordered the smart watch too late but it was way better! I should have done my homework before I purchased the other brand. I’ve seen a couple of kids watches that say things but dont hold a child’s attention for more than 10 seconds.

My grand daughter will get this for her birthday in February and she will love it. The whole design and even color very pretty-I can’t wait for her to take pictures with it. I’m glad I upgraded-quality means everything!.

This was a present for my 4 year old grandson. He is very tech savvy so it wasn’t difficult for him to operate the watch. He really enjoys the camera & game feature! This grandma knows how to rock!!!!

Christmas gifts for 7 & 5-year-old grandchildren. they LOVE these smart watches! However, the battery life for active users lasts only 1 day (as stated in the manual); then someone must remember to recharge the battery every night!! (It’s almost necessary to purchase 2 watches for each user to meet the usage requirement) Don’t know how long these watches will last, but they are certainly enjoyed.

I bought these for two of my three granddaughters, aged six and four. The youngest only being a-yeay-and-a-half (too young therefore). The girls loved them. My only disappointment was while they are made with two different coloured straps, John Lewis only had the one colour available.

Not a major issue. their mother simply tied a different colour of wool around each strap in order to differentiate.

We got this for my 6 year old son and he loves it! It has a a couple of games included and you are able to download more into it as well. I personally love it for its two cameras! A selfie and a side camera! My son has used it for about half a year now and we have not had a problem with it yet.

It does have a glass screen so he is very careful to not run or play roughly with it. He is able to enhance photos in a silly way too, which he loves. Over all a great product with long lasting battery life too! We charge it on our laptop or use a box from our phone charger to connect the wire to charge it on the outlet as well.

I would recommend!.

My boy likes the watch. For a 4g kids smartwatch with gps, it works well. Make sure you set the app up properly.

Excellent watch for kids, didn’t expect much but this watch turned out to be fantastic. 4G works well and video calling is clear.

Good features for a kids smartwatch, most importantly it works great for calls and monitoring.

10 year old grandson and 9 year old granddaughter loved these smart watches.They make excellent birthday presents in these age groups.

Gave the watch as a gift to my granddaughter – she loved it and uses it all the time. She especially likes the picture taking ability- easy to use, even fir a 6 year old.

Prima

TranslateShow in original languageOgólnie na początku zegarek wydawał się na prawdę super, jednak z czasem, niektóre jego elementy zaczęły się walić. Czytając inne opinie zaskoczyło mnie, że bateria jest wydajna, u mnie trzymało się dzień, po drugie aplikacja Forever Go Fit, jest słaba, cały czas odłączało się od zegarka mimo dobrego połączenia itp.

aplikacja w grudniu była jeszcze ok, ale na wiosnę przyszła jakaś aktualizacja i nie da się jej używać + nieważne jak się starać cały czas zmienia się tapeta jakoś ruszę ręką i zmieniona. Nie wiem czy tylko u mnie tak, ale sama nie polecam.

TranslateShow in original languageJako zabawka dla dziecka polecam. Deklarowane funkcje działają sprawnie, jedynie wytrzymałość baterii nie jest zadowalająca. Po jednym ładowaniu trzyma 24h innym 3 dni.

Trudne do przewidzenia, wyłącza się po prostu.

TranslateShow in original languageZgadzam się z pozytywnymi opiniami rozsianymi po internecie o tym zegarku. Naprawdę nie ma się do czego przyczepić. Chcę tylko dodać, że wbrew temu co jest napisane w instrukcji urządzenie nie działa prawidłowo z wyłączoną pocztą głosową.

A mianowicie nie da się wykonywać i odbierać połączeń głosowych. W ogóle. W moim przypadku chodzi o sieć Play. Połączenie wychodzące z zegarka kończy się trzema krótkimi sygnałami zajętości. W drugą stronę na telefonie, który próbuje nawiązać połączenie z zegarkiem pojawia się komunikat: “nie można zrealizować tego połączenia”.

W obu przypadkach na urządzeniach na które chcemy zadzwonić pojawia się tylko powiadomienie o nieodebranym połączeniu. Po włączeniu poczty głosowej u operatora problem zniknął.

TranslateShow in original languagePiękny, solidnie wykonany zegarek. Niesamowicie rozbudowana aplikacja w języku polskim. Generalnie widać, że nie jest to porzucony projekt, tylko czynnie rozwijany. Bateria trzyma 3-4 dni.

Niemniej wbrew opiniom, które de facto skusiły mnie do zakupu tego smartwatcha – GPS bardzo często pokazuje głupoty (lokalizacja w innym mieście itp. ) i nie wiem z czego to wynika, trzeba odświeżać położenie kilkadziesiąt razy zanim ‘zaskoczy’ i wskaże poprawną lokalizację.

Tu wielki zawód niestety tym bardziej, że nie jest to tania zabawka.

TranslateShow in original languageAby dobrze skonfigurować wymaga aplikacji! co po prostu nie łączy się z zegarkiem. W związku z tym nie można go używać ze wszystkimi funkcjami – tylko jako zegar. Trzeciego dnia użytkowania zegarek wypadł z dłoni dziecka na podłogę i już się nie włącza.

Nie polecam!.

The looks of the headphones and watch alone had my daughter in love with this. Bright colors and glitter galore. The headphones alone have a nice sound quality with a cute look and can use these with other electronics.

My daughter is pretty thin and the band fit her nicely without the watch slipping. As far as the actual features and quality of the watch, as a parent, i would say it teeters along the line of being a little too geared towards younger kids and being age appropriate (She’s 7).

She was able to figure out what she was doing pretty quickly. it’s packed with educational activities that she’ll play, get bored with, and play again. I feel safe giving this to her and letting her get on it without having to check to see what she’s listening to or playing every few minutes.

In my adult opinion the camera quality is eh- it’s the kind of quality that you would expect on a kids toy, nothing better or less, does my daughter care? not at all. She loves the camera. This toy makes my daughter feel “grown up” without giving her an actual “smart watch” and she’s learning while she’s playing games.

In all, i would say that this is a great toy for kids. Good design and lots to do on it.

Kids these days are all into electronics even the younger ones. This product is great to have for those little children that constantly wants your phone to play games. The watch looks very much like a real smart watch.

You can download games, take photos and also plug in the cute unicorn headphones into to listen to music, audiobooks, and fairy tale stories. It is amazing that this product offers STEM learning and other ways of education through the games in the watch.

You also have how to guides where the little ones can watch videos to learn and develop basic skills such as how to wash your hands and how to make you bed. Very educational. The headphones are cute and colorful, any little girl would love to where, even if it wasn’t plugged into anything hehe.

The cushions on the headphones are thick and seem to be very comfortable. Great gift for a kids that love games. The amazing thing is they don’t even realize they are actually learning and you get a little break from teaching.

My daughter loves this smart watch. She is 5 and handles the buttons easily. She can play most of the 25 games but some are still hard enough that she can grow and keep interest. The loaded audio books are fun classic stories.

The how to guides were simple but she really wasn’t interested in them. You can download music but I haven’t been able to download any other games. It would be awesome if you could. My only negative about the watch is that a kid can kill a battery quick.

We love bringing this on car rides or out shopping but if I don’t charge right before, it will die on us half way through. Battery life has been running about 4 to 6 hours with non stop use. My favorite thing is that it’s educational while still being cool and making kids feel like the have the latest tech.

TranslateShow in original languageLo ha usado el niño todo el verano, sin quitárselo en el agua y ningún problema, se oye perfecto, la batería me ha parecido muy duradera, esperaba tener q cargarle todos los días, pero no, según el uso obviamente dura más o menos, yo diría q una media de 3 días.

El niño tiene 8 años, pero lo veo apropiado para más pequeños también ya q el manejo es muy sencillo. La precisión del GPS varía como mucho 5 MTS. Le hemos dado un uso a tope. Nos decidimos por este por ser acuático y un gran acierto.

No defrauda.

TranslateShow in original languageFue una compra para mis hijos como premio por las buenas notas y es super útil para las vacaciones de verano. Todos los veranos nos vamos al pueblo y el reloj nos ayuda a tener a los niños siempre localizados.

Tiene localización gps y puedes verlo desde la app. Además puedes marcar una zona segura y te avisa si el niño sale de ahí.

Es que es muy fácil abuela… me decía. Bueno pues ella contenta y yo más por verla tan feliz. Y si me lo permiten yo también lo quiero recomendar.
