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!

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.

App/watch/GPS never works

I was so excited for my son to get a Gabb watch. I don’t feel that at 7 he’s ready for a phone and internet access, and I also wanted GPS tracking since I work and am not the one to pick him up from school. From the day we unboxed it, we’ve had issues. Constantly have to delete and reinstall the app and reset the watch and pair them back to get basic functions working, multiple times a week. The GPS has about a 20 minute update lag time, even when selecting the live tracking option. It shows him at a totally different house on the street when he’s sitting in his room. It tells me several times a day during class time that he’s left school grounds, and the map shows him in an apartment complex down the road from the school. The step counter works maybe one day a week. It’s currently stuck on all his tasks checked off on his watch, but none showing on my app for me to approve. Every reset he loses his earned coins and pets and gets upset. I had to use tech support once when it stopped making/receiving texts/calls, and she was very helpful and it got resolved. But everything else about this watch and app is a hot mess and a half. Not at all worth what I paid for the watch, and not worth the monthly bill. Sent an email to tech support tonight after hours so they haven’t had a chance to reply, but I’m so aggravated with the constant problems. It shouldn’t be like this.
