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!

Thank you for this review!

Gabb 2 first time customer

We have had the Gabb Watch (2) for almost a whole year now. We love the pre set text option, voice messages (super neat), the fact that we have to enter the contacts & our child is not able to do so.

My gripes-
In the recent month or so our sons watch for the first time has shown him leaving our house at night when I verified he was actually in his bed (he wasn’t wearing the watch it was in our living room charging). There have been a few instances like this. I wish the “live” gps was a little more accurate it takes anywhere from 8-15 minutes sometimes to let us know he left our home. I would like the lag to come be between 4-6 minutes max. The technology we have these days it seems it could be less than 10 minutes consistently. We bought two Gabb screen covers since we have had it but honestly we could have purchased 2-3 more the way they break. We just have kept them even if they shattered. I wish the tasks allowed more each day instead of limiting. I also would love if there was an option of more pre-texts or the option of both free text and pre text (I realize the Gabb 3 allows more freedom). The watch randomly overheats and shuts down until it is cooled. I really wish there was a better warning of this happening in the app/parent’s notification and for the child. There needs to be a 10 minute minimum heads up so they can text or call their parents or the parents understand why they aren’t able to be reached.

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.
