### 1/5 — Watch

*2026-08-11, version 5.4.2*

Location not accurate

### 1/5 — Why

*2026-08-03, version 5.4.2*

Exceptionally difficult to set up two watches. Round and round in circles…

### 5/5 — THIS IS THE BEST APP EVER

*2026-07-18, version 5.4.2*

I love this app it helps me connect with my cousin and we can call and it is sooo fun. And I lowkey want this watch Instead of a phone bc it is way more pourtippul

### 1/5 — Atención al cliente no responde

*2026-07-17, version 5.4.2*

Tengo un inconveniente hace rato que se dañó la parte donde va la sim del reloj y por lo tanto no podía comunicarme con el niño, he escrito muchas veces y nada que me contestan, me tocó pegarlo con pegante instantáneo ya que el reloj es de extrema necesidad pues es un niño con necesidades especiales. No me gusta que se supone que es para niños pero sus partes son muy débiles, se supone que deben ser fuertes porque un niño, salta, se cae, golpea etc pero parece de mala calidad y siempre se está partiendo algo y sé que no es el niño que lo golpea con la intención porque las veces que se ha dañado he estado con él y es cuando está jugando. 

No sé si se dañará por el pegante instantáneo pero fue la única solución ya que nadie me responde y es un artículo costoso y necesario para mi hijo.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-07-02, version 5.4.2*

Does not always have reception and some of the messages doesn’t go through from the watch and when it does connect, it’s very pixelated

### 1/5 — Some features don’t work

*2026-06-25, version 5.4.2*

Remote calling does not work and never has.

### 2/5 — Hard to set up

*2026-06-12, version 5.4.2*

Hard to set up

### 1/5 — Terrible battery on the model 5

*2026-06-04, version 5.4.2*

Worked ok at first but soon the battery became an issue that could not hold charge. 
The signal clarity was pretty good though.

### 1/5 — Watch life is terrible

*2026-05-14, version 5.4.2*

Bought two watches both have died in less than 2 years.  Replaced one of them and that died so we are giving up.  Watch is also bulky and band is not compatible with petite children.

### 1/5 — offline all the time

*2026-05-11, version 5.4.2*

keep offline
