Verizon GizmoWatch 2

· 4 days ago

Have had 2 replacements already and they only last for a couple months before the charger port becomes completely unusable

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I’m pretty happy with this purchase. My daughter was also on the bus and missed her stop. She was able to call and we were able to track her to get her. She also had a asthma attack and the firemen couldn’t explain to us where to go but we pulled up the app and instantly got her. It has come in handy and I’m very happy. I just don’t like that they can’t text personalized messages. If they want to say something specific like “mommy I need to get my medicine” it has to be a voice note. The messages say “I love you” “I’m home” simple stuff like that

I bought this watch for my six year old son because he was going on a lot of field trips with daycamp this summer. I wanted him to be able to contact me if there is an emergency. Unfortunately, the battery life is poor. With making recommended updates to the settings to preserve the battery life and minimal use, the watch barely lasts from 8am to 5pm. Given that there are minimal apps and features to this phone, the battery should last much longer. If my son were to use the apps or make calls throughout the day it would be dead within a few hours. I love the minimal capabilities and restrictions this watch provides. I would give it five stars if the battery would last with normal use. I'm hoping a new model comes out soon with a better battery, so we can upgrade.

My son has had his watch for a little over a year and it has lasted. I haven’t had any serious issues but I don’t use it to track my son as often as others do. My son loves it.

My daughter had the gizmo for less then a month and the face cracked in two place. For a kids device it is not kid proof. Nothing that is labeled for a kids should crack that easy and Verizon would do nothing about it. If you are going to make something for kids make it kid durable. I like the features and the ease of mind. But between the cracks and the fact it kept calling people in it's own I would NOT recommend this device!

I was nervous to buy based on reviews. Both my boys have ADHD and ASD, easily distracted. They don't intentionally elope, it's more like not paying attention. My oldest at 8 likes to text us, both like calling us. We are on 5 acres. I can see what area of our property they are on. As well if they are in the woods. We are having our oldest use the timing features to help with staying on task. Also fun enough features to be fun for the kids and not a tracking device. I feel better about going out. I've had them call me when at the store one aisle over. They also like the ability to call. Last summer our oldest got lost at a campground with 600 sites we almost had to call the police. The cons -The band is not easy for kids to get on/off. We bought replacements on Amazon. Also screen protectors. My youngest has broke 3 the watch is still fine. The battery lasts a day if not drained.

I over all like the watch. However it’s a struggle to get it to charge. Even cleaning it with alcohol. Waking up and realizing it’s dead is a huge disappointment. They need to find a better charger. Like…. Maybe the one Apple has for watches. Hint hint

It’s not very durable. One of my kids broke the screen shortly after getting it but luckily it still works. My other kid completely shattered the screen and the device does not work anymore. It’s easy for kids to use though. I would say this is great for younger kids that you do not want to have access to internet or to call any person they want. You can set 10 authorize contacts which is great for them.

I’m very disappointed in this watch. My son accidentally dropped it and the screen shattered. This is not covered under warranty, even though when I called Verizon the first person I spoke to told me it was covered still since we purchased it less than 4 months ago. This watch should be durable to withstand the rugged nature of kids.
