Giving kids the ability to talk, text and share their location, Gabb Watch packs a bunch of great features into a safe, fun, wearable first phone for tweens.
The Gabb Watch has been a great way to introduce my 8-year old to the world of texting and calling without having to worry about her getting distracted by the likes of. And obviously there's a big peace of mind factor for us parents. Gabb was kind enough to send a watch to test out, but I believe in the product enough actually to—gasp—continue to pay for the service moving forward.
Many of the watch's safety features play off GPS. For instance, I can receive automatic location updates at a chosen frequency throughout specified times ; establish safe zones based on particular addresses ; see where the watch is on a map; and even tap a button to get driving directions to its location. Of course this could be helpful in retrieving the watch should it go missing.
Though this may seem frivolous, there's a greater purpose in mind. We can establish tasks for rewards of one to three coins. In doing so, we encourage particular actions, behaviors and chores to be done in a way that also means something to our daughter . And another way she can earn coins is by meeting or exceeding her established step count goal, which goes along with Gabb's philosophy of keeping kids active and connected rather than slaves to screens.
Like Gabb's phones, the Gabb Watch is not made to download additional apps. It's meant to be a standalone device that can't and doesn't need to connect to a phone. It also doesn't capture photo, video or voice files. And that's fine, too . All that recording opens up a can of worms my 8-year old doesn't need to get into. Given all the phone does, it doesn't seem quite right to call it a"basic" phone watch.
In short, if you want to be able to communicate with your kid but feel they aren't quite ready for a smartphone, this watch is a great solution. The device and service are both affordable. And it will save you a heap of worrying.Newsweek may earn a commission from links on this page, but we only recommend products we back.
