The Gizmo Watch 3 – Adventure Comes With Parental Control Features
The Gizmo Watch 3, being a smartwatch made for kids, has features specially designed for kids aged between 6 and 11. If you’re a parent, you’ll feel a lot more relaxed giving the Gizmo Watch to your kids than a regular smartwatch.
Firstly, with the Watch 3 – Adventure, parents can track their children’s location in real time. They can also mark safe zones via the GizmoHub app, and the watch will alert them if the child steps out of the preset areas. The watch also has a dedicated SOS button.
Moreover, the watch has School Mode to prevent children from using it while they’re in school. This mode silences ringtones and other sounds, allowing children to perform essential functions like checking the time, sharing their location, and making emergency calls.
These features will provide peace of mind for parents, as they would have an added layer of security and control while enhancing the safety and well-being of their children.
The Gizmo Watch 3 – Adventure Connects to Verizon’s Network
You don’t need to get a new phone number for the new Gizmo watch. It comes with its number which directly connects to Verizon’s network.
The watch pairs with the GizmoHub app, available on both iOS and Android smartphones. Using the app, parents can perform certain functions on the watch like setting up School Mode or checking their children’s location. They can also approve contacts that can call or text on the watch.
