Review on Children's smart watch ELARI KidPhone 2, pink by Mateusz Rybarczyk ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

Yearly item. Bought for a first grader as an alternative to a push-button telephone - to communicate with parents. Firstly, the child hears this thing (as opposed to a phone ringing in a briefcase or "in another pocket"). Secondly, for anxious parents, there is a wiretap in the watch - sometimes this is convenient - instead of bombarding the child with questions about what he is doing and with whom. It’s not so hot, because no one speaks into the microphone, but you can assess the general situation (lesson or change, conflict or everything is calm). It must be borne in mind that wiretapping is a call outgoing from the clock, follow the communication tariffs. And one more plus, I think that there is a ban on incoming unfamiliar numbers (can be turned off) - only relatives can call the child, no spam, hooliganism, etc. Now to the cons. Indeed, the location is determined extremely conditionally - it will not work to set the allowable zone "inside the yard". It determines either by GPS, or by towers, or by Wi-Fi networks - how it goes. It's not adjustable in the settings. Sound. You can hear it well if you bring the watch up to your face (like Buzz from Toy Story). If this is not done, it will be illegible ("like from a barrel," other users wrote). Our device holds a charge for 2-3 days, but in the application settings, an energy-saving mode and the most rare request for a location are set. As a "virtual leash" the watch is still not suitable. Another disadvantage I would include the lack of vibration and vibro-alarm clock. The native alarm clock beeps very loudly, and we have not found a way to regulate it. It wakes up not only other households, but at the same time neighbors behind the wall.

Pros
  • A phone that is always on hand, it is impossible to miss a call. Wiretap. Ban on unknown numbers.
Cons
  • Protection against water is conditional - all connectors from water are covered with a rubber cap, which does not fit tightly. Especially if it was covered by a child.
