Great Smart Watch for kids
Great first smart watch for our daughter to use for school and around with friends. Simple to use and she loves to record videos, send us texts and call us whenever she needs to! She loves the color too! We love the GPS and the Parental App. This is the second one we have owned as her older brother uses one as well. Definitely recommend!

Great 1st Smart Watch â¤ï¸
I recently purchased the TikTok 5 smartwatch for my 5-year-old and Iâm really impressed so far. She was able to pick it up and start using it almost immediately, which says a lot about how intuitive and kid-friendly the design is.The companion app and the watch interface are both very user-friendly, making setup and navigation a breeze for parents and kids alike. The graphics are bright, crisp, and engaging, perfect for keeping a childâs attention without feeling overwhelming.My only small critique is the limited color options. A few more choices would make it even more exciting for kids to personalize their watch.Overall, this feels like a fantastic smartwatch for young children, and our initial experience has been excellent. Highly recommend for parents looking for a durable, easy-to-use option!

Great starter watch for kids.
I purchased this for my 7 year old. He’s getting more mobile around the neighborhood and wanting more independance. So this was a great option without resorting to a phone. I didn’t use the data plan that come with the watch. I pulled the sim card and actually used US Mobile. it was pretty cheap for a 1 year plan (bought the 2gig) and works great. It was easy to activate and works fantastic.Things I like: 1. Tracking. You can choose more active tracking or even just initiate a tracking. 2. The app. The app is fantastic. It gives plenty of options and limiting features. 3. Iheart radio. He loves having his own streaming on it. 4. Calling. I like that others don’t have to have the app to get calls from him or to call him. 5. Charging. We actually just 3d printed him a charger holder for it from a free site and it works great. He has a place he sets it at night to charge.Dislikes: 1. The app. I dislike that others need the app for texting. I get the video calls but I’ve got a lot of famiy members who’d text him who won’t because they struggle with the app and so choose not to install 1 more app. 2. Battery life. It advertises longer than it gets. It does last all day but he has to charge it every night. 3. Proprietary charger. I with is was a wireless charger 4. Sim card slot. I wish it did e-sim activation and didn’t need a sim. 5. app support. I wish there was more apps that could be added to the watch for him.

NICE Birthday gift
Ordered this for my sonsâs 10th birthday. He didnât want a phone so I figured this was the next best thing.1. Seems secure- I like how you can monitor the messages and call log. You can turn off the ability for unsaved numbers to call. It has gps.2. Easy to talk- once numbers are saved any of the contacts can call him or he can call. It has a feature that if he dosent answer I can call and his watch will auto answer.3. In app video and messaging and more- you can message and video chat each contact but they will need to create an account and link to the watch. Which is nice because it secure but a bit of an annoyance if someone dosent want to download the app. You can also send fun little cards to the watch, like little email cards. So adorable. It also has step counting goals and I heart radio which you can limit the time4. Gps- I had to update the gps to the correct location, it was showing up around the corner and down the street. Iâve only had the watch for a few hours. The app says that over time it becomes more accurate as you correct it so we will see. Iâll update this review in a month or so to let you all know.Over all set up was easy, took about 1 hour max for me to go through the app and customize everything.Iâd recommend this. Feels sturdy and well made. Itâs really cute. Reminds me of a kid g shock.The unlimited plan is a little over 21$ USD monthly. Which isnât bad.

Awesome and greatly functional watch!
This watch it’s amazing with connection I only need this for text and calls and restriction of the unsafe internet kids can get into. I bought it for my 12 yr old (almost 13) and it is amazing for calls texts, alarms, do not disturb at night, class mode. It’s literally a solid watch. I use the speedtalk mobile SIM card I had active for him on previous cheap watch and it works wonderfully. I previously bought the T-Mobile version of this watch and returned it because he went with another watch after trying this one because he liked the games on it (other misc. Watch). But then that one started misfunctioning where calls didnt go in. So this was the best out of all. Now I purchased the AT&T version and it still works with the speedtalk mobile card. In short if you have a speedtalk mobile card it will work with AT&T & T-Mobile versions of this watch. BE AWARE: if you are buying this watch for location look away. Location is estimately not 100% accurate. I didn’t buy with location purposes so I care less for location ability of this watch. Battery lifetime: I cannot complain we charge it every night, needs it or not. Overall I am really satisfied and hope it does last a decent amount of time until I upgrade him to a phone, then it will be passed down to my 8 year old; who knows what age she will be by then. Waterproof ability is yet to be tried out. Easy to use on both parent side and kid side, pretty straight forward. I liked the ash gray because both girl and boy can use it, pretty compatible color. So when it gets passed down color won’t be a problem. The fit is perfect for my 12 year old because he is about 5’2 so it doesn’t look huge on him. I tried it on myself for picture purposes and I think it look perfect.

We bought this for our child as he was leaving to summer school. From the very first day, the battery only lasted 6 hours. Later it lasted less and less , charging very little during the whole night and after 20 days it shut off completely and never went back on. As our child was away from day one using the watch , we werenât able to return the item ⦠200 euros straight in the bin. Zero recommendable
