Verizon Gizmo Watch 3 brings the fun and helps keep your children safe
The news: Verizon, today, unveiled the Gizmo Watch 3 — the latest addition to its line of award-winning kid’s smartwatches that gives you peace of mind that your children are safe while they are having fun.
Gizmo Watch 3 will be available on January 5 in Blue Clay and Mint colors for $4.17 a month for 36 months on Verizon Device Payment (0% APR; $149.99), and we’ve got a great deal if you need more than one Gizmo Watch. For a limited time, if you buy one Gizmo Watch 3 we’ll give you $100 off a second one1, so your kids won’t be fighting over who gets to wear it.
Why it’s important: Verizon’s Gizmo Watch series is renowned for providing a safe smartwatch experience for children that aren’t quite ready for a smartphone. Here are some of the awesome new features we added to Gizmo Watch 3:
Double the number of Trusted Contacts from 10 to 202.
More safe zones that send you location alerts3 if your child leaves a predetermined area using GPS tracking and monitoring.
A new front-facing camera that lets kids make video calls and take pictures and record video messages they can share with trusted contacts.
A new processor with longer battery life — the Snapdragon Wear™ 4100 platform — that delivers 80% more talk time and 20% more standby time4.
New Gizmo Watch 3 buddies lets your child message, call or video chat5 with other friends that have Gizmo Watch 3 once approved by a parent or caregiver.
New watch face designs, including two new options that change with the seasons and the time of day.
New Bluetooth connection makes it easy to pair the watch with wireless earbuds or headphones.
