Review on Children's smart watch ELARI KidPhone 2, pink by Micha Osiski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average purchase, there are some things to complain about.

The SOS button only works via GPRS. If he does not catch on the clock, then the signal will not come. Also, if the Internet is not turned on on the parent's smartphone and the application is not running, then the SOS signal will not come. Or it will come when the Internet is launched on the smartphone. It was not possible to completely deal with the Geofencing mode. The child has left the geofence, a notification arrives: The child has left the geofence: "child's name". That is, the geofence name is not specified. After 2 months of satisfactory operation, the clock stopped working in the morning. They showed that they did not catch the network at all (neither GSM nor GPRS). The sim is working. Restarting the watch didn't help. Then, at 17:00, the clock started working, a notification about the geolocation came, after half an hour the clock stopped working again. Now they show that they catch the network, but do not call. The app says "Device offline". In the warranty service they wrote: mechanical damage to the sim reader. Not a warranty case. We did not climb into the sim reader, did not pick anything.

Pros
  • I bought a child to go to kindergarten. We use 2 months. The clock stopped working (see comments). The watch coped with the call function perfectly, with wiretapping too. Just a couple of times it did not work, but then, the clock called back exactly as many times as they pressed the wiretap button. Geolocation works well on the street, when it does not catch GPS, it shows the position in LBS, the latter is not accurate. There is a White List feature. Unknown numbers will not ring. Voice chat works, but is not very reliable. Messages are sent for a long time, then they arrive for a long time, or they do not arrive. The watch only displays an icon that a voice message has arrived, there is no signal. It is convenient to have two buttons with which you can scroll through the list of contacts, as you need to adapt to the sensor. Even found a way to change the background of the standby mode.
Cons
  • There is no control outside the application, that is, wiretapping cannot be started from a regular phone. There is no pickup sensor. If a stranger has access to the watch, he will be able to bind it to his application. A notification will be sent to the parent-admin application about this. Someone else's contact can be deleted, but if a stranger took a picture of the QR code from the watch, they can re-link it to their application. The main complaints about the smartphone application. The position determines, you click to view the expanded map, and the map of the world is displayed there, as if the position is not defined. In this case, the address is correct. Logging out and logging in helps, but only for an hour, then again does not show the expanded geolocation.
