Great smart watch
on August 3, 2026
Posted by: girlmom11
I bought this for my 11 year old daughter so that she can text or call us. I especially wanted it for sports practice and after school if pick up times change. It has been great so far! she is able to use it and its very simple. She likes that it tracks her activities and plays music through amazon music. She wishes it came with new watch bands. I'm still trying to figure out how to change the watch band. I like the app and its simplicity. I wish that when she texts or calls me that a notification would stay on saying "new message" or "unread message".

I bought this to replace my childs Bounce 1. The Bounce 2 is a great upgrade, better design and screen. The calling option is awesome and the improvements and additions it has makes it a super watch to have. My only wish is that the battery lasted longer lime my garmin tactix.

Good Battery Life

Super helpful for having a way to get ahold of my kiddos that doesn't require a phone. It does require you purchase an additional LTE subscription but I have found the services is spotty. When they're on a recognized WiFi we add then it's reliable but outside of that we find it hard to get ahold of them, messages take a long time to send/receive and their location doesn't update very quickly. I have other friends with the watch who say they have the same experience/issues with the connection. The kids love the activity features, games and "pets". It also has a great battery life.

I bought this for my son who loves to explore the outdoors, and allows us to communicate with him and know his location.

Bought a few weeks ago. It has been working pretty good. My biggest complaint is that messages seem to be delayed, sometimes longer than other times.
