Gabb Watch

I got the Gabb watch for 2 of my kids who are 6 & 8. There are several reasons why I choose to go with Gabb wireless. First reason is because of safety reasons far to many school shootings. My second reason is weather we live in tornado alley so weather can be scary at times. Third reason being that I can contact my kids anytime during the day. There have been times where I can’t pick them up I send a messages to my son to let him know who will be picking them up or times where they have left their lunch boxes in my car and have to take it to them. My oldest who is 10 has a cellphone under my phone carrier and has begged me for a Gabb watch because she can’t take her phone everywhere with her at school. They can only have their phones in their backpack she was feeling left out that I could message my son or her little sister but we had zero communication since her phone was stuck in her backpack. I wish I would have known about Gabb Wirelss before getting her a phone now her phone is pointless to have since she now has a watch. Several teachers are aware of their watches and know that they can talk to be during the day they think it’s so cool that some of them are looking into to purchasing a Gabb watch!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for this review!

It sometimes fit our needs

This is a great concept. However I don’t think it’s executed very well. We have 3 devices, 2 watches and a Gabb Phone Plus. The watches worked well for almost a year until they stopped charging. Despite several attempts to clean the charging prongs as described on the Gabb Wireless website we have one watch that no longer charges and recently the gps on the watches is extremely slow to update. We went on a camping trip and the kids had the watches while we camped 4 hours from home. When we got home from camping it took the watches almost a week to figure out we were home. They still showed my kids 4 hours away. My older sons Gabb Plus phone’s GPS has NEVER worked since we got it. He’s a new driver, still learning the roads and was in an accident. He was unsure of the road he was on and the phone GPS wasn’t working so it took us 30 minutes to find him. Thank God he was ok. Customer service leaves much to be desired. They will fix nothing for you, just expect you to pay more for another device. Of course you pay an early termination fee if your device, that no longer works and you just want to REPLACE it with another device. Not get rid of service…just transfer from one device to another will cost you a termination fee plus the cost of another device. I recommend pay more per month to avoid any contract with this company. I have been nothing but disappointed.

Perfect phone for my daughter

We purchased this phone for our 7th grade daughter. What we love about this is that it does what we need it to and that is we can call and text her. There is also a location device on it as well which allows me to see where she is at at all times. We loved this aspect of it as she likes to take walks with her dog and we know where she is as well. We don’t have to worry about her getting on the internet anytime she wants at school and messing with social media as we have seen how much of a distraction it can be at her age. Not a fan of social media at this age as well as it can leave the teens with insecurities and pressures that wouldn’t typically come up until later in life. The phone itself is of high quality and the delivery of phone calls and texts works and sounds like my Apple phone. I would recommend this to all parents who do not want to worry or monitor their child’s activity on their phones constantly.
