@redtailray You probably found this by now but for anyone else-the default setting for the screen to black out to sleep is set to 5 seconds (he mentions how it’s super fast in the video) If you scroll down (top to bottom) on the Home Screen it brings up a few more options-airplane mode, sound on/off, another button to change the Home Screen background, and a settings gear. The settings gear has a full menu for sounds, display, dry the watch, a watch guide, and about the watch. You can change the screen time out and brightness under display. I also really enjoyed the watch guide. It walks you through exactly how to use the watch and was good to do with my kids so we all knew how to operate it.

if you don’t mind me asking how was your experience with the watch? My grandkids have been homeschooled since 2020 and are going back to traditional score in the fall. I was thinking about getting this for them they are 7 & 8 years old.

@katieknoell58 2 жыл бұрын

@@Bigcat624 we love them! We have them for six year old twins and we have them wear them basically anytime we leave the house. We have season passes for our amusement park here and it gives us such peace of mind! They love it too because we let them walk down to our apartment complex’s playground and go play with just them. Their school doesn’t allow wearing of smart watches of any kind during class hours so they’ve taken them for the bus drive a couple of times but not often. Definitely a much better fit for us than an apple watch etc

@watchpoint7900 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your review. May I ask 2 questions? 1. How is the battery life? Will it last the whole day with GPS continuously on? 2. Does it have any kind of reminder/alarm? My kid is almost 5, he always forget to drink water and bathroom. I want to set a reminder for every 2 hours to remind him (with an the emoji toilet/water since he can't read now). As far as I've tried, none of the smart watch or tracker for kids can do that.

@REDTAILRAY 2 жыл бұрын

Watch point- the battery last all day even with location settings set to sync every 15min. And 2- you can set tasks that act as alarms that you can remind him to drink his water yes.

@sexxystephsm17 Жыл бұрын

Battery life is great on this. Especially since you can put it on school mode. Meaning games and music will be off as well as tracking unless they leave the school grounds then you will immediately get a notification. I tested it so many ways its great. I also have the sync up tracker from last year but this is so accurate with GPS. Phone call is great also text. They can make a video instead of a text and send you it samething with voice memos. Right now in tmobile it's free if you have an account just pay the $10 a month for the number because this has its own number and internet service!!

@REDTAILRAY 2 жыл бұрын

She likes it and is 7as well. Read through the other comments for some of my other replies on specifics but over all really good. We found school mode is essential as it turns off the notifications and everything but emergency calling so the teacher liked that. Still wish the gos was alot faster and more accurate and video calling should be standard as most youngins aren't great at spelling let alone texting.

6 months later, what do you think?

@REDTAILRAY 2 жыл бұрын

Working on the recap. 1- location updates could be a lot quicker and more accurate. 2- gps location tracking could be better and longer than 15 minutes. 3- boundaries perimeters could be smaller than 300 meters. 4- watch band irritates my daughter skin sometimes so more aftermarket options sooner would have been nice. 5- Video chatting should have been built in, as far as I know, it's still not available.

@@tatianagonzalez6540 how TMobile works is any device that has cellular service gets a phone number assigned to it. When they activate the device they assign a plan to it. Plans like the various magenta plans for phones, plans for wearables, tablets and hotspots. My guess is this sync up watch has to be on the same plan as other wearable devices.

Open your parental sync screen on your phone. Open the specific watch you'd like to set the boundary for. From the map, grab the slider on the bottom of the screen and pull up to access features including steps, tasks, school mode, alarms, boundaries and history. Select boudries. Press the plus symbol to add boundary. Enter the address or click and drag the map to your desired virtual boundary location. Add name. Save.
