Watch works well other than occassional incorrect location (usually corrected with refresh of app page or signing out and back in) and gives us peace of mind that we can contact our son and vice versa... See more

Good Watch
The watch does almost everything we expected of it and our child seems to enjoy using it. Would have been 5 stars if it worked abroad. It may just be us having the issues with it working abroad but we thought it should be able to work. Apart from that, it's all good.
Purchased in 2023
We purchased a KiDSnav GPS watch in October 2023 for our daughter. The watch is still going strong and our daughter continues to use it daily. The mobile app is brilliant and relatively easy to navigate. The ability to disable the smart-watch functions during school hours is great as are the parental settings. The location tracking can occasionally be a bit flaky but is usually spot on. Overall we're very happy with the watch and would recommend it as an alternative to a first mobile phone.

Great watch and app
Great product, very robust with excellent customer service. The controls on the app are good.
Watch isn’t working
Got for my son’s birthday on Halloween, I only set it up 2 days ago I am having to charge it every night, as it isn’t holding a charge even though we haven’t been very active this weekend. When he is sitting the step counter keeps increasing the steps when he was sleeping it said he walked 700 steps. The GPS works one min then doesn’t work the next even though we are at our caravan and haven’t moved. If these issues could be fixed this would be an amazing watch for a child to have and would also give the parent peace of mind as to where the child is when out playing.

Very pleased with this watch
My daughter has had this watch for 2.5 years - she got it for her 9th birthday. We have been really pleased with the watch functions and with the service. Because she has this watch, my daughter can walk on her own to school and other activities, and can call me if she needs something (usually when she forgets her clarinet...) We received quick and great support whenever we needed it, couldn't be more pleased.

I highly recomend a kidsnav watch
I highly recomend a kidsnav watch, compared to others on the market, this actually works as expected and is a great tool for keeping in touch and keeping track of my child's location. I am passing it on to my youngest now the oldest has moved on to a mobile phone and it still works just as well!

I bought a Kidsnav watch back in 2020 for my eldest child and have now just bought a 2nd watch for my other child as we love them so much! Does everything you want in a kids phone watch and we like not having to pay monthly.
kidsnav watches
We love the kidsnav watches, gives our boys the freedom to go out and play in the village whilst still knowing where they are being able to call us when needed. Only issue we have had is the location is not always accurate.

Brilliant for Kids
We purchased a kidsnav watch for our son(10). It's fabulous! he loves the freedom & independence it allows him and we like to keep in touch with him. The watch also means no broken or lost mobile phones which is an added bonus for us as parents.
Bought 2 watches from KIDSNav watches…
Bought 2 watches from KIDSNav watches for my 8 and 9 year old and they have been great, the kids love the bit more independence they are allowed now and keep our minds at rest knowing we can contact them whenever we need. Great watches
Great watches
The kidsnav watches have been great for me to keep in contact with my kids when they are away playing in the park. You put money on sim card lasts ages. Also customer service has also been great if any problems
Overall a good watch
Wanted to buy my son a watch for out playing which had the GPS functionality and a phone so I could call him. After doing research I went with this one. Overall, the watch is ok, I like you can control the contacts that they have access to and the call back feature which means I can hear what is going on around him. Reason for 4* rather than 5* is the GPS lets it down, it's not fully accurate, had my son at time in locations no where near our house, would be good if KIDSnav could improve that functionality.

Fantastic alternative to a mobile phone!
Have been using KiDSnav for 2+ years and have never been happier and provide relief to contact kids without the need for a mobile!
Am able to contact kids when needed, see where they are and track their movement to and from home on the journey to school. The text messaging is great and my kids can speak into the device to communicate.
I gave 4 stars due to some technical aspects which I hope will be in development for the next model as follows:-
1. Kids cannot text only speak to communicate and through the inbuilt microphone
2. No silent mode and vibrate so when I am texting important details for the school day it sends a loud alert and disrupts lessons and kids are reprimanded for not switching on silent mode.

Great watch for kids
I bought KiDSnav Edge - Pink for my 10 year old daughter and she have used it for the past 6 months. Both she and I are happy with this product. It is easy to use and gives parents a great peace of mind by locating your children in real time when they are out and about alone.

I purchased 4 kidnav watches for my children and so far it's been amazing. The kids love their watch. Great product
Independence with Kidsnav!!!
We got this for our 7 turning 8 year old (at the time) so he can have his own independent freedom with his friends.
It's great! We can call him, track him and video call him. Any issues and we can always be in contact....his firends also have them now! They can store each others numbers and get in contact.
The sos feature is great too. So many functions at the touch of a button

Pros and cons!
Have had these for over a year now. So proper user review.
Pros: easy for kids to use. They can call us so easily. Block use during school hours. Set alarms. Call them discreetly on sound guardian if concerned. Had for a year only had to top up about £30, so they are very cheap to run compared to other monthly ones. Charge lasts ages. Can set power down times. Easy for kids to add their friends who have watches too. Don't need to worry about them putting phone down somewhere and losing it. Watch is always on wrists. I'm a big fan of these and have recommended to loads of my friends who have purchased also.
Cons: Wish the GPS would be more accurate but I think this may be more to do with the network rather than the actual watch. My kids sometimes show up as being on the motorway nearby... When they very much most definitely are not. Sound guardian helps reassure with this at least.
