Verizon Gizmo Watch 3

Overview

Gizmo Watch 3 introduces kids to wireless technology safely. Only parent-approved contacts¹ can call or text your child’s watch, and the watch can’t access any internet content. Use the GizmoHub app² on your phone to easily keep up on your child’s Gizmo location on the map. With an SOS button, voice and video calling³, and text messaging, staying in touch with your child is as close as their wrist. And now, Gizmo Watch 3 includes a touchscreen keyboard for kids to type precisely what they want to say in their messages.

Stay focused, be active and have fun.

Encourage a sense of responsibility in your child by creating a task list in the GizmoHub app that syncs with the Gizmo Watch 3, as does setting a daily step goal. For fun, there's Tic-Tac-Toe, a timed jumping game, a pattern-matching game called Gizmo Says, and Puzzle. Kids can even learn about the local weather forecast from their Gizmo Watch 3 and choose a digital watch face that changes with the seasons.

Say more with Gizmo keyboard and group chat.

GizmoWatch 3 now includes a touchscreen keyboard so kids can say exactly what they want to say, instead of being limited to a list of prewritten messages. They can have a text chat with a parent-approved contacts individually or with everyone at once in a Gizmo group chat. Using the GizmoHub app, parents can create their child’s Gizmo chat groups and select members for the group.

Worry less about the “where are you?”

Of course, your child's location is a top concern. That's why location and map features are front and center on the GizmoHub app. Create multiple location alerts to know your child's location at a specific time each day, or when they cross in or out of specific areas. Tap the refresh location or real-time tracking buttons to get location updates on demand. Also, your child can easily use their Gizmo Watch 3 to check in and send you a real-time location notification.

Let kids be Gizmo buddies.

Siblings or friends with Gizmo watches can be set up in the GizmoHub app as Gizmo buddies⁶ so they can call, video call or message each other with emojis, photos and voice or video recordings. In addition, Gizmo Watch 3 has a new way to make Gizmo buddies. If two Gizmo Watch 3's are in the same room, they can find each other's watches via Bluetooth and send requests to their parents to be Gizmo buddies.

Stay focused, be active and have fun.

Disappointment

Keven1988 . 5 days ago

We bought the Gizmo 3 watch for my daughter and it died after 5 months. I would not buy this watch again.

We're sorry to hear that. If you would like us to provide some troubleshooting guidance, please contact us directly at Gizmo@verizon.com.

Should be able to text any carrier not threw gizmo app kinda stupid you can’t

The Verizon Gizmo Team - 4 days ago

Hi there. Thanks for the 5 stars. To be clear, while approved contacts do need to use the GizmoHub app on their smartphone to send/receive messages to/from the Gizmo watch, there is no restriction on carrier. Only the Gizmo watch needs to be on Verizon.

Won’t turn on

Mich947 . 10 days ago

Was able to turn it on after I charged it, it worked for about 2 or 3 minutes but then kept turning off until it finally wouldn’t turn back on any more.

The Verizon Gizmo Team - 8 days ago

We're sorry you're having difficulty. We're think that the watch might not have gotten a full charge even though it may have been on the charger for a sufficient time to charge. Try charging the watch again but before you do wipe the watch's charging contacts with an alcohol swap. (Let the watch dry before putting it on the charger.) If the watch still won't power up after charging, Reach out to Verizon Customer Support at 800-922-0204 to inquire whether a warranty swap can be arranged.

Easy to use

RiaMol . 20 days ago

Simple watch easy to use. Location is not that accurate.

The Verizon Gizmo Team - 18 days ago

Thanks for your review. Regarding Gizmo's location features, Have you tried the location refresh button? You'll find it (the single pin icon) on the map in your GizmoHub app. Here's some additional information about location capabilities that you may find useful: To conserve its battery, a Gizmo watch does not constantly report its location. Instead, Gizmo sends a location update, displayed in the GizmoHub app, under any one of these conditions: - When the watch is turned on or off. - When the watch wearer “swipes to check in,” on the watch. - At a specific time, as scheduled in a time-based location alert. These alerts are set up in the GizmoHub app. - When the watch moves into or out of an area, as defined in a location-based location alert. These alerts are set up in the GizmoHub app. - When the Refresh Location button (the icon showing a location pin) is tapped on the map in GizmoHub - When the Real-time Tracking button (the icon showing two location pins) is tapped on the map in GizmoHub. To conserve battery, GizmoHub will ask after 5 minutes whether to keep this feature turned on. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us directly at Gizmo@Verizon.com.

Excellent for pre phone users

Nancares . 21 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Gizmo is very helpful in reminding of chores and activities. It gives us peace of mind when she’s out and about in the neighborhood

The Verizon Gizmo Team - 18 days ago

That's right! Gizmo is great for kids that are too young for a smartphone, but it still gives parents a way to keep in touch with their kids throughout the day. And we're glad you're making good use of the to-do list. Cheers!

Does the Gizmo have a calendar or reminder function? That’s most of what we are looking for in a kids Smart Watch.

Answer from Verizon Consumer Products1 day

Gizmo Watch 3 does not have a calendar but it does have to-do tasks with reminders. Using the GizmoHub app, parents can assign tasks and rewards when tasks are completed. Tasks created in GizmoHub sync with the child's Gizmo watch.

There is no way to turn off just the games on Gizmo Watch 3, but there is School Mode. School Mode disables all features except the SOS button.
