XPLORAX6 Play - Watch Phone for Children (4G) - Calls, Messages, Kids School Mode, SOS Function, GPS Location, Camera and Pedometer - Including 3 months free subscription (BLACK)

I bought this for my 6 year old son for him to call/message when he's staying at Grandparents.I was a little dubious at first as was worried about him making or receiving calls to unknown numbers, what really surprised me is that only contacts added via the app by a guardian can be contacted or receive calls on the watch which for me is brilliant.Messaging takes place through the app, so if family members have the app they can communicate via this, again this removes any unwanted communication and I can view all communication on the app to ensure he is safe. He absolutely loves the voice note function.The GPS function is good, it means I can track and locate him whilst he has the watch on. At his age I don't have the need to do this much but tested it out anyway, it locates the watch quite accurately and you have the choice to view the location on the app as satellite or map view.We ordered a basic sim card and this works really well in the device, it took me a while to work out set up but when I actually read the notification properly that it could take 15 minutes for the watch to activate I stopped stressing over it and it was easy from there. You need the app downloaded first and then the watch displays a QR code which you can scan and it automatically connects the watch. It took me a while to work out how to activate without purchasing a subscription if using my own sim card. The first thing I set up was the WiFi which meant I could update any software. I would recommend setting this up when your child is not around, or not telling them about the watch until its set up, my son was so excited and desperate for me to set it up that him hanging around asking if it was nearly done yet made the set up longer and more stressful for me but that's just my son not the watch itself.I love the school mode which stops any use of the watch during set times, although my son doesn't take it to school this has been really useful for bedtime, I set the mode so that he can't call or message anyone between 7pm and 9am.Other features he loves on it, the step counter, he's worn himself out running back and forth to see if it's accurate. He also loves the camera.The watch is quite big on his wrist, but not too big that it makes it impossible to wear, it's probably same size as an adult smart watch. It has good protection round it and the watch itself and the strap feel sturdy and secure so it doesn't feel like it's going to break easily which is great with something aimed at kids.Overall I'm really happy with this watch, it has enough safety features that leave me comfortable as a parent that I can monitor what he is doing and he can't hide anything and enough to keep him occupied and grown up. Would definitely recommend.

Terrible product, never really worked and no customer service. It rarely connects is slow to update position. I would avoid, it’s basically a waste of money. My daughter has had for less than a year. For the last 3 months it has not updated location, cs just says contact the sim provider. However the sim was provided by xplora. There appears to no way to actually contact somebody, and get working. Update I am now attempting to cancel subription, and its obvious they don't want to make it easy to do this, agains the CS sends you around and circles, saying send support a message, but support doesn't even give you an option to cancel. This is effectively a scam, stay well clear.

Our son love his ‘grown up’ watch (as he calls it). He loves the games & taking photos on it. It's also got a step counter which he love telling us how many steps he's done. The reward system on it means kids receive 1 Xplora Coin for every 1,000 steps they take. Xplora Coins are valid in the unique Xplora's Activity Platform that features fun games, activities & exciting campaigns.He is able to message & receive messages from set contacts only, so it is safe for him to use. We message him using the Xplora app but the watch also uses a SIM card so when he's older this will be the perfect transition before he has his own phone. He absolutely loves the voice note function too!The GPS function is good, it means we can track & locate him whilst he has the watch on. At his age we don't really need to use this function but it will be perfect once he’s older & goes places on his own. It locates the watch quite accurately & we have the choice to view the location on the app as satellite or map view.There are different colours available too.

This has been the perfect option for my little boy who is just starting to go to the park by himself, we are able to add emergency contacts so that we can contact him and vice versa, all whilst knowing that he cannot make contact to anyone not in the contacts.I love that the watch looks similar to our watches and this means my little boy is super excited to wear it and feel like mummy and daddy. The battery life isn't amazing but it's say enough to put on charge every evening like we do for ours. It's easy to used for him and is just perfect for what we need it for.Overall, I would recommend the Xplora X6 Play for parents looking for a reliable and secure smartwatch for their younger children. It provides features like GPS tracking, two-way calling, and safety alerts. It's simple design and child-friendly interface make it a great first smartwatch for children, while its safety and tracking features offer peace of mind for parents.If you're looking for a device to keep your child safe and connected, without the commitment and worry of a fully-featured smartphone, the X6 Play is a great option. However, older kids might outgrow it quickly, so it’s best suited for the younger crowd

I'm not sure who LOVES this more. Me or my daughter lol. She's 5 and not only is this watch teaching her the time, she can check the weather, collect coins (which keeps up he step count) she can send messages, voice notes, take pictures and call from it. From a parents perspective the safety features are perfect. I'm able to control her contact list, see who she's messaged and most of all I'm able to track her location in the event she's not with me or ever lost (every parents worst nightmare)We use it daily and will not go anywhere without it now if we're in busy public places. It's fun and safe rolled into one.A great gift that it worth the money as it'll stay with her as she grows up too. I'd definitely recommend.
