My nephew has reached the age where he now feels old enough to go to the shops or park with his friends or alone. A worrying time and feeling for parents. We decided to get him this watch for his birthday. I have had cheaper “smart” watches for kids. Bought two in fact and they fundamentally failed at what a parents need from these type of watches. I will give my reasons as to why this, while being very expensive kids watch, is worth it and exactly what parents need and I’ll give a small comparison with cheaper watches.

The first thing I will point out is the build quality. The build quality is exceptional. The body feel solid and robust. The mechanism to tilt the screen feel smooth and strong. Clips in and out very easy and nicely. I was concerned the mechanism will be weak point and break easily, but It is not the case at all. It makes a very cool sound effect when opening and closing it. The screen is very clear, bright and sharp. While direct sunlight will decrease the visibility, still visible enough to see what’s on the screen. The video quality it fantastic, but naturally, this depends on the signal strength. Both front facing camera and rear camera do a great job for a watch camera. The best I’ve seen on a watch. Obviously, it doesn’t have imagine stabilisation or flash, so to get the best picture, you will need good light and steady hands. It does have image focus. With those condition, you can get decent photos. For kids, they will love it. Use it to pretend to be special agents or futuristic hero.

The voice and video call feature are a hit and miss. In a very good area with strong signal. Both the voice and video calls worked very well. Voice call was perfect, clear audio from both ends, no delays. With the video call, video quality both ways was great. Very very clear on both cameras. You get the odd buffer, but it is expected. In areas where the signal is weak, the audio calls hardly suffered. Still clear on both ends and very little to no delays. The video calls did suffer. While the image was clear both ways, we noticed long delays in audio. The video buffers more often. When this was the case, we would revert back to audio call. Sending messages and making calls is done via the watch app. Sending text and voices messages works exactly how WhatsApp works. The audio again is perfect. In comparison to the other sub £50 watches I owned, calls failed more often than not. Struggled to send and receive messages. This is mainly to do with the fact that the cheaper watches uses 2G. This watch uses 4G which is better in many ways. Speed mainly and also allows you to use GPS. The GPS tracking works great. Not perfect. It struggles a little when on the move. We tracked my nephew as he was going to the park. It will tell us exactly where he is, outside which house and pinpoints to the exact location on the map. Now, it did fail to track him a few time while he was walking. Tried a few time and updated his current location.

The software is great. It is designed and built for this watch. Other kids smart watches uses third party generic software. The software give parents control of the device to protect your child and to control what he can and can’t do with his watch. You can disable all the features except telling the time while he is in class for example. Schedule and plan his day. There’s a few activities and features to get kids engaged and active. Shaking the watch and getting the step counter up gains points which can be used to purchase themes and face watches. Brilliant way to get them active and add some fun to the watch.

Honestly, this is one of the best things for child’s safety and for parents who worry about their child. The watch has all the features needed, it isn’t perfect. But it does so much to help the child and parents. The issues it has, is also a problem with expensive smart phones, connection problem in certain areas. It is expensive, but I’m a believer of paying more to protect any child.

What an amazing gadget! I have had this up and running for a few days now and thought it was time to review and allow others to know how good this product is.
It is a “must have” in this day and age especially if you don’t want your child to have a phone. There will be less chance of this being lost or stolen but still having all the useful feature of a phone and keeping track of your loved ones.
On arrival I could tell by the quality packaging it was going to be good. The packaging is smart and well thought out. It looks good extremely well made.
Firstly its a watch, great for your child to keep track of the time. then it”s a camera and video camera. for a camera of its size it takes really good photos and videos.
The main feature of this watch is the phone, you can phone you child to find out where they are or they can phone you, it also allows video calling so you can see where they are. this works without fault and very simple to use. simple add a nano sim card, download the Imoo App, Bind it to your phone and off you go.
On the Imoo phone app you can go to Locate and see exactly where your child is, or even set alerts to see when they are home or leave the house so you can tell they leave for school on time and arrive home safely.

Other features include class mode where you can set times to disable the phone and app side of things during school hours but allow it to come back on for the journey to and from school, Step counter, stopwatch etc etc…

All in all it has some great features meaning you don’t have to worry about expensive Iphones being lost or stolen and you can contact them at any time you wish or just see where they are. I certainly will have peace of mind knowing where my child is and that he can phone me.
