I wish I could give this zero stars. I bought this watch for my son for Christmas in 2024. After about three months, the strap broke. I thought, no big deal—maybe it was his fault—so I bought a new one. We didn’t charge the watch for a week while waiting for the new strap to arrive.When the strap came in, I charged the watch, turned it on, and it said there was no SIM card, even though there clearly was one inside. I contacted tech support through the app, and they sent me a new SIM card. After inserting the new one, the watch still said there was no SIM.Tech support had me go through multiple troubleshooting steps, but nothing worked. Finally, they told me that since I purchased the watch through Amazon, I had to resolve the issue with them. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten anywhere.So here we are, three months in, and the watch doesn’t work at all.

Great way to be in touch with your kid. I got this because to be less concerned about where my daughter is and in case I need to talk to her. It is “closed” to message and call only the people I added in the app. The notifications I get on my phone are very useful. I also have access to her location and even set a safety zone where I get notifications when she in or out of that zone. Everything is working smooth and for now I am very happy with my decision to buy one.Setting up is where I would say that I had somewhat of a set back because when I was doing the first configuration I put my phone number instead of the number that was created for the watch. You just have to be a little patient because it might take about 20 min for the text to come with the number you will get for the watch. Otherwise it was fairly simple to set up.

I got it for my 5yr old. She loves it. She can call her grandparents anytime. She uses the alarms to stay on schedule. The tracking/gps feature gives us peace of mind know exactly where she is. If she has an emergency she can easily contact 911. The phone plans are affordable and the watch has a great battery life.The only draw back is texting is limited and the receiver has the have the app. Also, School mode block all calls and text instead of just being on silent.I still am very happy with my purchase and would recommend.

The media could not be loaded. My kid is not ready for a traditional phone yet, so this is good in regards to learning more about responsibility.Pro: You can contact them. The watch and app are made so it is completely parent controlled.Con: The tracking works, but there are bugs to work out. Live tracking so far does not really work. I gave it a try as my kid rode home on the bus from school. It did not update.

The description for this product says "The device can receive texts." This is NOT true - it can only receive messages sent via the Xplora application. Voice messages are similarly transmitted only via the app. Effectively, communication is only with Mom and Dad, except for live calls with approved numbers, which mysteriously don't connect about 90% of the time when they are outbound. ADDITIONALLY, for the little bit of communication that can happen, messages (again...these are via the app) are regularly delayed by 20-45 minutes. It is impossible to communicate in a reliably timely way.The minimum size of the "Safety Zones" is so big that the entire neighborhood is enveloped by them, making them virtually non-functional unless your kid's school and each of their friends is very far apart.The GPS tool frequently does not work. We finally figured out that a reboot of the watch tends to fix it, but there is no alert that the GPS is not working, so if your kid isn't with you when you discover it, you have no idea where they are at until your "message" to reboot the phone eventually gets to them.Complete waste of money.

This is such a genius idea!!! so safe and reliable!!! I love knowing our daughter can have a watch that won’t fall off that she can keep with her and reach out to us anytime with any emergency! This watch is fantastic. It has so many cool features to get your kids off the couch, and I have some fun. You can control who they call and who they connect to. It is fantastic. As a mom of 8 I honed think this is such a perfect idea. We tested it out a few times when she went on her field trip. She was able to text us and give us updates throughout the whole experience. She even took photos with her watch. This is a must have for any parent!!! Phones get lost you have to put them down they get in trouble they’re not allowed to have them. The teachers did not even mind her having this watch at all. They thought it was a great idea.

Overall the execution is very respectable. But do not think that the watch is going to function natively like a phone. You cannot type and send an SMS message from the watch to an approved phone number. Instead, you can send a voice message or a predefined short text (not SMS!) message to an app installed on a guardian's phone. See the difference with actual SMS messaging?I could not successfully make a call from watch to the phone ("Call failed"), so cannot judge its voice call capability.So, to me, the product is just one step, although a big one, away from being a home run. So sad.
