XPLORA Kidzi - Watch Phone for children 4G - Calls, Messages, Kids School Mode, SOS function, GPS Location, Camera and Pedometer - Including 3 months free subscription (BLACK)

Easy to set up as it comes with the SIM card already inside, although that’s easy to pop in. Is a very good quality. My son loves tracking his steps on it and it’s very accurate. The battery life is very good. It looks super cool. I think this is brilliant value for money with the amount of things you can do with it, take pictures, play games, call and message and also track where your child is with the app!

I purchased this Xplora watch for my 8 year old daughter. This watch is such a lightweight design , it's easy to use and really simple for the kids to enjoy. It has a messaging option that can only be used to the people that are designated to on the Xplora app. It has a camera, photo folder and steps counter. The steps counter enabled you to earn coins on the app so you can play games and earn more rewards. The watch has a gps tracker which is very accurate and enables you to see where your child is. The SOS feature when in trouble enables the watch to call you and the app sets an alarm off to alert you . I usually turn the school mode on when my daughter's at school so shes unable to use the features to she concentrates on her school work rather than playing on the watch. This can be switched on to your preference. Overall this watch is fantastic! Im very happy with all the features. It's a must buy for for any parent!

I had high hopes for this GPS watch. My son is 9 and we wanted a way to track him in case he got separated from us while out. We thought this would be ideal. How wrong we were.Firstly, the call feature works ok. He can call me and I can call him. I can send him texts/emojis and he can send voice notes and emojis - most of the time. But this is less reliable than the calls.The main feature we wanted is the GPS tracking.However, it’s useless. It took two days after setting the watch up to be finally located on the GPS page! 95% of the time I get an error message saying that the location cannot be updated. I am using the SIM card that came with it (another £90 cost for the use of the sim for a year) and we are in a perfectly good reception area, but location still doesn’t update. We have been away on a short break and it didn’t update there either.My son likes that he can call us, but if he is in danger or lost, chances are i won’t be able to locate where he is!I have emailed the company about the GPS problems and an automated email was sent back. I tried everything that the email suggested, and then replied with more information like it asked. A week later and I am still waiting for a response. Looks like they can’t be bothered.I wish I hadn’t bothered with this watch, and just got a cheap phone and put the Life 360 app on it like I have with my daughter. The Life 360 app is 10000% better than this!!!In short, spend your money elsewhere and not on this watch.

My daughter is 7 years, and is interested in my phone saying she would like her own phone. I really didn't want her to have a phone yet and feel she is too young. However I came across this and felt this was a good compromise. I love that there is a school setting where all the additional features such as making calls and sending messages can be turned off and my daughter can just use the watch as a clock. This makes it easy for me as she can just use one watch all the time. She absolutely loved being able to call me on her watch and I loved that I could check who she had called and messaged on the app that you download. I had some issues with the the first watch that was sent to me, however was able to contact customer services who quickly rectified the issue and send me a brand new watch out. The GPS feature is also nice but she is with me or others in the family all the time at the moment anyway, however will be great feature for older children who are starting to go out with their mates and without an adult. My daughter also loved the stop watch feature and timed herself doing a loop running round the house. Charging the watch is very easy, and the battery lasts all day it it's being used appropriately. Overall I'm really impressed and a hundred percent made the right decision in not getting a phone at the age of 7 for my daughter and actually feel this might help to delay purchasing a phone for her for even longer now. Great idea!!

Great watch with the ability to track my son and keep in touch with him. Love the features such as school mode, being able to manage who he has access to and he loves that he feels included in having a smart watch

Let me just start by saying that I don’t hate this watch. The GPS worked well, calls were clear and the watch is easy to use. Had I been buying this for a child of around 5 I’d have been happy to keep it.To start, the watch screen is much duller than the product photos, reminiscent of the first colour screen camera phones of the early 2000’s. The photos are definitely misleading.What I found most frustrating is that the watch doesn’t come with an instruction manual and trying to find an online one was also non existent. The quick start up guide wasn’t adept at telling me how to do specific things with the phone and I had to resort to googling to find answers buried in the Xplora Q & A’s. Even then, the answers were usually geared towards the X6 or Xgo3 and often didn’t apply to the Kidzi. I soon realised that functions I’d seen online such as being able to add photos as wallpapers and seeing step counters whilst in school mode weren’t applicable to this model and even something as simple as deleting messages from the phone in order to save storage weren’t readily available.For my 9 year old, this was going to be the gateway smartwatch before moving onto a phone at 11, yet it didn’t really feel ‘grown up’ in the way that I’d like. He’s always enjoyed the aspect of counting steps on his Fitbit, so losing the ability to do this whilst at school whilst paying double the amount of a Fitbit seemed counter productive.So overall the watch works great in terms of calls, texts and GPS functionality (I used a Giffgaff sim) but is too babyish for an older child, with very limited basic wallpapers and very basic functions. Have sent it back and will be getting the X6 instead!
