1. Only one designated emergency contact can be called, which the parent establishes during device setup, and which the parent can update in the GizmoHub app.
2. This information can be accessed on the device by pressing the SOS button and selecting the Medical ID option.

Nice watch but useless battery life sssss

1 out of 5 rating

SueM . 13 days ago

I purchased this for our now 8 yr old with ADHD and other disabilities. He is high functioning but he's the one we have to keep hold of at the fair, our 4 year is less likely to get lost. Beacuse of this and him starting elementary school without one of his brothers in the school with him we thought this would work great. The function does, and it theoretically does everything we need but the battery is a waste. For example today my kiddo is going to OMSI. He left at 7.30am when we put the watch on him at full charge. I turned it off to emergency only and I have never installed any other apps on the phone. Here we are at 11am and the battery is at 65%. It is unlikely it will last all day. Now we just have to hope for the best when it eventually dies.

Limited Battery Life sssss

2 out of 5 rating

MommyBri . 13 days ago

I purchased this watch nearly two years ago for each of my children (7 & 8 years old) so this review is based off of longer term use. My primary complaint is that the battery does not last longer than a day and charging it to 100% takes several hours. My kids must be diligent with putting their watches on the chargers before bed otherwise they will not have enough battery life to get them through the next school day. The watches are better for texting and step counts than it is for calls. The calls are inconsistent and cannot be relied up in case of an emergency. These watches have let us down more times than not when trying to make a call. Unfortunately, if you do not want to give your 7 year old a phone your options are limited. This watch does not require a phone to function but plan to have very low expectations. You will pay more for this watch than it is worth but it will work for texting, your child’s location (most of the time) and we’ll as step counting. Those are the only reasons we use this watch. I would only recommend this watch if it is free or significantly reduced in price. The sale price we paid was still way too much money for when we got.

Great alternative to a smart phone for younger kids sssss

Lara . 17 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

We got this watch for our son as a way to contact us if needed while he’s out doing activities instead of getting him a smart phone. He has loved having the watch, and has loved the responsibility of keeping track of it and charging it at night. Secondarily, we got the watch for GPS purposes. I’d say this is the only reason as to why I took a star away. I don’t find the gps to be completely reliable unless real time tracking is on, and then the battery goes pretty quickly. That being said, we didn’t really get the watch to be able to track him to his actual physical position, more so just for a communication devise which we haven’t had any issues with thus far.

Hi Lara. We're delighted that your son loves his Gizmo! Here's some information you may find helpful on how the Gizmo watch reports its location: To conserve its battery, a Gizmo watch does not constantly report its location. Instead, Gizmo reports its location, that is, sends a location update that is shown in the GizmoHub app, under any one of these conditions: When the watch is turned on. When the watch is turned 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.

My kids love this and so do I sssss

My kids love that they can message and call me with the fun Disney characters and I love that I can contact them as they are too young to have a phone. This is their second Gizmo and this version has many great features like video calling that wasn’t available in the older version.

My wife and I purchased this watch to give us peace of mind and to stay in touch with our 8 year old. At first we were very excited at the thought of being able to track our child’s location and message him in case of an emergency or to simply wish him a great day at school, etc. Turned out to be a waste of money, time and effort. More times than none, the location doesn’t update, messages don’t go through and overall service is poor. This is an unbelievably unreliable headache. If you want to purchase a fancy bracelet for your child, this is the one. Otherwise, do not rely on this to communicate or do anything of significance with your kids. Parents, it’s not worth the headache and stress of trying to make this work.

Freezes all the time. Have to reset with the app which isn’t helpful when your kids not with you and that’s why you have it.

Hi Sam. We'd like to look into what's freezing (sounds like it's the GizmoHub app and not the watch). Either way, email us at gizmo@verizon.com so we can help resolve the issue.

Honestly nice watch but horrible battery sssss

My kid and I like the watch and the fact that he can contact me while he's at school if he needs me but so far it seems that the watch only lasts about a month before the battery starts dying on a full charge so quickly. It'll go on for a bout a week of randomly shutting off before it just shuts down completely no matter what I try to do to fix it. Had to replace it once already but gonna have to do it again another time since it stopped working on him this morning.
