Smartwatches for kids are becoming increasingly popular, and Verizon is contributing to this trend with the release of the Gizmo Watch 3, the latest addition to their line of cellular-connected smartwatches for kids. This $150 wearable aims to provide children with basic smart features while giving parents peace of mind by allowing them to track their location.
Stay in touch with the Gizmo Watch 3’s camera
One of the standout features of the Gizmo Watch 3 is its front-facing camera, which allows kids to take photos, make video calls, and record messages with approved contacts. This is a great feature for children who don’t yet have a smartphone of their own. The Gizmo Watch 3 also includes GPS, which allows parents to monitor their child’s location at all times and receive alerts if they leave a predetermined area. In addition, the watch allows parents to set up 20 trusted contacts, twice as many as the previous model.
In terms of performance, the Gizmo Watch 3 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 platform, which provides 80% more talk time and 20% more standby time compared to the previous model. It also includes Bluetooth for the first time, allowing kids to pair the watch with wireless earbuds or headphones.
Customizable watch faces and games
The Gizmo Watch 3 also comes with a variety of watch faces, including ones that change with the seasons and time of day, as well as three new games: Tic Tac Toe, Gizmo Says, and Puzzle. The watch will be available in Blue Clay and Mint colors through Verizon starting on Thursday. If you don’t want to pay the full $150 upfront, qualified customers can pay it off over 36 months. For a limited time, Verizon is also running a promotion where buying one Gizmo Watch 3 will get you $100 off a second.
Overall, the Gizmo Watch 3 is a solid choice for parents who want to introduce their children to wearable technology safely and securely. Its combination of good performance, useful features, and an affordable price make it a compelling option for anyone looking to buy a smartwatch for their child.
