VTech KidiZoom Smartwatch DX2, Blue

Our seven year old adores her new watch she got for Christmas! It was well worth the drive in a blizzard risking life and limb to obtain one elsewhere just in the knick of time for christmas. Speaking to the reps at amazon was an amazing experience. We feel completely appreciated as prime members to have such fluent reps who know how to speak efficiently and clearly in multiple languages, it helped me best understand where and why we had our issue and it makes me want to learn more languages so I can help others too. Especially the 35 minute call where we were offered a full refund and cancelation at the end of the extended hold time (that music rocked too!) all of this a day before Christmas. This was highly appreciated and makes us likely to return. We are disappointed we cannot request certain reps if we ever need to call back, he was top notch and deserves a promotion for explaining so well what happened. It all made perfect sense and was completely reasonable. As for the function of the watch…This watch fits her small wrist, had an amazing flashlight so when she drops it a thousand times we can easily find it, oh wait, I mean when she drops it a thousand times we find it with her new fire tablets light, but regardless we find it. The best feature is the lock we can put on it to limit her time using this in a blank mental zone, and allow it when we need a break so we can zone- lol. You can put it in a mode so as not to be a distraction at school, supposedly. Insert eyeroll. This should probably just be an at home thing people…its quite the watch. Battery seems good, fairly easy to use and my favorite part is actually when you go to the parental settings it has this unique security feature to ensure kids cant break into it and change their settings. Awesome right! For a passcode it makes you do different math problems each time! Loved it at first! Then it started to break me down! Here’s me off to the side breaking out my own phone and use the calculator! Great feature VTech! Clever, someone somewhere has a sense of humor not gonna lie! Way to make a grown adult with a MBA feel extra intelligent in a pinch…lets see… 14x9.734[n2]-64+3t=17 +2/5, carry the one…you get my point. Oofda. All in all this was a definite experience, unlike any other. I am hoping this review meets the standards and can help others in their decision to purchase such a fine product with ease through Amazon because they sure set the bar high for reviews, as well as their reps. Definitely purchase this watch and don't forget a screen protector, case, pillow to scream into, aspirin, cold beverage or bottle and a therapist because I sure wish I knew to get all of this at the same time too.

My sons, ages 5 & 8 get limited screen time.However, like most boys their age they love gadgets and technology. This is a great toy that gives them the fun of technology. They love taking pictures and playing the games.

The watch is very fun the strap stays on pretty good and the game are ok the camera is pretty good quality the monster game is very good for exercise and to have fun and to learn about colors would recommend!

This was a birthday gift for my 5 year old son. Seemed easy enough to use. The activity tracker seems to be his favorite part. It kept him moving for awhile. Looks great but might be a little clunky for younger children

Bought as a Christmas gift for my niece, and it was one of her favorite gifts. She immediately opened it and started taking pictures with me. She also really liked that it tracked her activity when she walked and was clearly motivating her to be more active.

This is our third smart watch for my daughter this year. It’s exponentially better in quality, usability, and battery life than any others. Definitely get this for your kid if they want one.

User freindly my baby likes it

Just bought three for my triplets' 9th birthday and am returning. This is a great smart watch, but for much younger kids.In our suburb kids are allowed to walk alone to/from school as of 3rd grade. Our guys just started it and we want to end our chauffeur service and have them walk. My wife thought they should have watches if they are on their own so they know if they are running late. I shopped Amazon and bought these due to high ratings, abundance of features, and low price.Got them last night and during set up found that VTech's marketing and engineering people aren't on exactly the same page. Phone has many fun settings on it including easy to use camera for still and videos, lots of wallpaper options, and 8 or so games. My guys, if they wear these watches to school, are going to be distracted by them all day long. Watch has parental controls but [1] only thing that can be turned off are the games (all other distracting features are always on), and [2] the parental controls are easy to defeat by anyone who can read (that is: most kids in first grade!) How the marketing people can say "parental controls" are a feature, but the engineers didn't design with at least a 4 char PIN password is beyond me. You don't find out the parental controls are so weak until you open the package and dive deep into the owners manual.The owners manual also informs that the pedometer is a toy and shouldn't be considered accurate--nor can it be set to remain on in background, it must be used as primary feature in foreground to work at all. Granted, at this price point it may not be reasonable to expect a pedometer like one would have on an iPhone or FitBit, but it would have been nice had the marketing materials made that clear prior to purchase.So, we can't use the watch for our intended purposes and will return them. From my limited time setting up the watch I can say the following. It appears to be solid. Interface should be easy for young non-reader to use. Features will probably appeal to both younger and older (7-10) kids. The cameras (there are 2) are easy to use for both still and moving pictures. The cameras are about iPhone 1 quality and storage capacity is limited. It does not appear difficult to upload images to a PC or Mac (but I haven't tried). Once uploaded, it's likely beyond skill set of most younger kids to manage the media on the computer. They say more games are downloadable to the phone but I did not explore.For a reason they don't explain anywhere, they say you can only recharge watch battery using power from a computer (not a wall outlet charge port). So, this watch will spend lots of time tethered to a computer--make sure you have one available for that purpose. And for the few of you like me with triplets, make sure you computer has 3 USB ports available for charging.
