Not the best quality, but overall not bad.

The impression is strange. One of the most expensive children's watches on the market, good hardware, a good set of entertainment, but at the same time the main function is extremely crookedly implemented (monitoring is important for me, I didn’t even test calls).
About entertainment features. The look (and price) of the watch is clearly more suitable for teenagers, but the set of themes and apps looks more for a younger age.
The watch had to be returned to the seller, also not without incident - I had to send it at my own expense to another city.

Pros

A high-quality case, nothing creaks, the buttons are pressed clearly, moderately tight, there should be no false clicks. Good screen, you can see it in the sun. Magnetic connector for charging, charging itself is fast - about an hour from 20% to 90%. There is a pickup sensor. Convenient SIM card tray (nano-SIM). Support 4G, can work in networks of operators that do not support 2G. The camera is simple, but it will do for video calls and pampering. For a child, the body is large, for a teenager - normal. The presence of Alice, radio, games can not be attributed to merit, see disadvantages.

Cons

Colours: black and acid yellow. There are no normal calm colors. Strap: non-standard, and the manufacturer currently does not have straps for this watch. If (when) it breaks, there will be a problem. The main problem: on my copy, the coordinates were determined very strangely - if you put the watch, for example, in the car - the application shows that the coordinates are determined by GPS, you should put the watch on your hand and go for a walk - the coordinates are given only by base stations. In the city it even looks more or less decent, but outside the city there will be a problem. Technical support ignored this question, although they answered other questions correctly. Autonomy: very bad. According to my tests, the clock will live until the evening only if you set the monitoring interval to an hour and, if necessary, request the coordinates manually. Tracks in this case, essno, will not. We will keep silent about Alice and other toys. Well, on the little things: an extremely primitive monitoring algorithm (the watch eats up the battery even when it is taken off the hand and lies on the table), a primitive application - for example, the history of movements can only be viewed for a whole day, not to mention some kind of analysis, the absence of a web version, the inability to connect the watch to a normal monitoring service.
