The child-friendly GizmoWatch is designed to keep your kids safe and entertained
September 20 2018 - 8:00AM
The GizmoWatch is the latest addition to Verizon’s GizmoKids family
of children’s products, offering parents peace of mind that their
little ones are safe while giving kids a smart watch that looks
cool and is fun to use. Preorder your GizmoWatch from Verizon
starting September 20 or pick one up in stores when it launches on
October 10.
“The new GizmoWatch has all of the benefits that parents and
kids are looking for in a smart watch in a stylish and cool new
look kids will love,” said Brian Higgins, vice president of device
and consumer product marketing for Verizon. “It has the
connectivity of Verizon’s 4G LTE network and offers a ton of tools
to keep kids safe and entertained.”Created for children ages three
to 11, the GizmoWatch is the successor to Verizon’s award-winning
GizmoGadget. It improves on the previous generation with advanced
hardware, including the high-performance Qualcomm® Snapdragon Wear™
2100 platform, a more durable band and a more sophisticated color
palette. What’s more, GizmoWatch is powered by Verizon's 4G LTE
network, so you can be sure that calls and texts will get to your
children while they are on the go.
Safety first.Kids are growing up
faster than ever, particularly when it comes to technology and
parents are increasingly anxious to have their kids adopt
technology. Verizon's GizmoKids product line provides technology
that is stress free for parents and safe for children. Using the
GizmoHub app, you can locate your child at all times and the app
notifies you if your child tries to leave a predetermined safety
zone. GizmoWatch can receive phone calls from up to 10 numbers that
parents choose. This ensures that even if your child accidentally
shares his or her GizmoWatch number, the call can’t go through
unless a parent designates that number as a safe contact. In
addition, you can select up to 20 different text messages that your
child can send to his or her parent-approved contact list.
The fun never ends (until you say it
does).To keep your kid entertained, GizmoWatch includes a
fitness and hopscotch tracker, so kids can see how many steps they
take during the day and compete against friends. The watch also
inspires fun with a voice changer that lets your child transform
his or her voice into a robot and an assortment of different
characters. And since the GizmoWatch doesn’t rely heavily on apps
and data like adult smart watches, its battery life can last up to
four days (depending on usage), meaning the fun will last a very
long time. Of course, parents are always in control, and can pause
all watch activity in the moment (during dinner) or at specific
times every day (between 8:00AM-3:00PM when the kids are in
school).
The redesigned GizmoHub.Download
Verizon’s GizmoHub app (iOS and Android) onto the smartphone
associated with your GizmoWatch and get control of where your child
is, who he or she can call or text and a ton of other great
features. The simple-to-use GizmoHub lets you communicate with your
child’s GizmoWatch in real time and includes a full-size map to see
where your child’s GizmoWatch is located. You can even see your
child’s location change when he or is he is on the bus ride home or
on the go in general. It also provides battery life for the
GizmoWatch, a to-do list of things your child needs to get done
(homework, chores and reminders) and more. If you have more than
one child, you can use GizmoHub to manage multiple watches, as well
as different contact information for each GizmoWatch.
Pricing and availability.The
GizmoWatch will be available in Verizon stores, online and via the
My Verizon app on October 10, but you can preorder your GizmoWatch
starting September 20 for $179.99, and add it to your existing
Verizon plan for only $5 a month (plus taxes and fees). We’ll also
