Caregivers are the only people that can change the contact list. Only people in the approved list of contacts can call or text the watch. My girls used the voice text quite often (though Tottie had a little too much fun with the emojis). The kids can only (word) text the quick messages but if they want to say something different or longer, they can send a voice text. Sometimes I just wanted to write a longer text. One complaint I have though is that caregivers can only text 30 characters at a time. Notifications from the app when the GizmoGadget is shut off, turned on, or low battery were helpful as sometimes my girls forgot to check the watch before putting it on. It’s one more (easy) way to get in touch with me, her dad, or other contacts.īoth the watch and the caregiver phone app are super user friendly.

The LG GizmoGadget Watch also gives Nutty (and me) a little extra confidence as she’s learning to stay home by herself for short periods of time. It’s waterproof too so I don’t have to worry about swimming or sprinklers. It’s a watch that is worn on their wrist so I don’t have to worry about a phone being left somewhere or falling out of someone’s pocket. I can keep tabs on where they are and text/call them when I need them to come home. Now, I simply text them! I know the watch it is going to be even more useful this summer when the girls are out riding their bikes. Before we got the watch I would have to call the class room and disrupt the entire class in order to pass messages on to the girls. I can’t begin to tell you how handy the GizmoGadget is for communicating after school plans with the girls. It’s exactly what I had in mind when I wanted something that I could use to communicate with my girls. It’s got calling, texting, a GPS locator, an activity/step counter, a to-do list, a voice changer, and some funny sounds. The LG GizmoGadget Watch is all the benefits of giving your child a phone without the distractions of a phone, the cost of a phone, or the risk of losing a phone. Our month ended a few days ago and this weekend we’re off to the store to buy one to keep! I honestly can’t imagine life without it now. Last month during my post about the Verizon Wireless Tech Bytes Lunch, I mentioned that Verizon loaned my family a LG GizmoGadget Watch to review for a month.
