XPLORAXPLORA X6 Play - Watch Phone for Children (4G) - Calls, Messages, Kids School Mode, SOS Function, GPS Location, Camera and Pedometer - Including 3 months free subscription (BLACK)

I bought this for my 6 year old son for him to call/message when he's staying at Grandparents.I was a little dubious at first as was worried about him making or receiving calls to unknown numbers, what really surprised me is that only contacts added via the app by a guardian can be contacted or receive calls on the watch which for me is brilliant.Messaging takes place through the app, so if family members have the app they can communicate via this, again this removes any unwanted communication and I can view all communication on the app to ensure he is safe. He absolutely loves the voice note function.The GPS function is good, it means I can track and locate him whilst he has the watch on. At his age I don't have the need to do this much but tested it out anyway, it locates the watch quite accurately and you have the choice to view the location on the app as satellite or map view.We ordered a basic sim card and this works really well in the device, it took me a while to work out set up but when I actually read the notification properly that it could take 15 minutes for the watch to activate I stopped stressing over it and it was easy from there. You need the app downloaded first and then the watch displays a QR code which you can scan and it automatically connects the watch. It took me a while to work out how to activate without purchasing a subscription if using my own sim card. The first thing I set up was the WiFi which meant I could update any software. I would recommend setting this up when your child is not around, or not telling them about the watch until its set up, my son was so excited and desperate for me to set it up that him hanging around asking if it was nearly done yet made the set up longer and more stressful for me but that's just my son not the watch itself.I love the school mode which stops any use of the watch during set times, although my son doesn't take it to school this has been really useful for bedtime, I set the mode so that he can't call or message anyone between 7pm and 9am.Other features he loves on it, the step counter, he's worn himself out running back and forth to see if it's accurate. He also loves the camera.The watch is quite big on his wrist, but not too big that it makes it impossible to wear, it's probably same size as an adult smart watch. It has good protection round it and the watch itself and the strap feel sturdy and secure so it doesn't feel like it's going to break easily which is great with something aimed at kids.Overall I'm really happy with this watch, it has enough safety features that leave me comfortable as a parent that I can monitor what he is doing and he can't hide anything and enough to keep him occupied and grown up. Would definitely recommend.

Terrible product, never really worked and no customer service. It rarely connects is slow to update position. I would avoid, it’s basically a waste of money. My daughter has had for less than a year. For the last 3 months it has not updated location, cs just says contact the sim provider. However the sim was provided by xplora. There appears to no way to actually contact somebody, and get working. Update I am now attempting to cancel subription, and its obvious they don't want to make it easy to do this, agains the CS sends you around and circles, saying send support a message, but support doesn't even give you an option to cancel. This is effectively a scam, stay well clear.

XPLORA X6 Play is a great 4G watch phone for kids. It's super easy to use, and my seven and five-year-olds worked it out easily. We tried real phone but it was too much of a distraction for my eldest. I love that with 4G connectivity, your little ones can make calls and send messages, keeping them connected in a safe and convenient way. Really helpful as one of my children sometimes needs the reassurance. The Kids School Mode is a game-changer. No distractions during school hours means focused learning for your kids. It's a win-win for parents and kids! And the SOS function is fantastic. If there's an emergency, your kids can easily trigger the SOS button, giving you peace of mind. The GPS location feature lets you keep tabs on your little ones in real-time, ensuring their safety. Plus, it has a camera and pedometer too, adding to its versatility. My kids live snapping pictures on it. It's great that you get a 3-month free subscription to try out all the cool features and services. It's a must-have for parents and an exciting gadget for kids.

My son absolutely loves his watch! He is 6 y/o and it’s really easy for him to use. The XPLORA X6 Play has some excellent features and the app is so useful. The GPS system as a parent makes me feel more at ease if we’re out and about for that added bit of safety. Being able to keep tabs on him really puts my mind at ease.The 4G connection is excellent and I love the fact that we are able to call him as well as text. This is an important feature for us for example when he stays with his grandparents he knows he can contact us whenever he needs to for a bit of reassurance. The camera feature is very good and produces clear pictures. The Kids School Mode is ideal if your child wears it to school however my son leaves his at home so we don’t use this feature too often. There are also games available to play but again my son has yet to try this out. The pedometer also allows me to see how active he is through the day. For every 1000 steps you earn Xplora Coins which can be used in activity section of the app. The battery life on the watch is very good too!My only slight issue with it is that it’s quite bulky on his wrist but that’s only a personal preference.All in all it’s a fantastic gadget, completely puts my mind at rest as a parent being able to see where my child is at all times but it’s also been an exciting and fun for my child to use! Would highly recommend!
