XPLORA GO - Watch Phone for children (SIM Free) - Calls, Messages, Kids School Mode, SOS function, GPS Location, Camera and Pedometer - Includes 2 Year Warranty (BLUE)

I purchased an Xplora Go for my son and he loves it. The unit seems pretty good quality and the Xplora Go App for iPhone intuitive. The tracking capability on the Xplora Go watches has been accurate using an O2 SIM. There are alternative options/modes available such as use for pets, assets such as luggage, as well as a watch. The fact that you can swap easily withouth too much faffing about is great. It's possible to change the straps to different colours if you like. So far the battery life is excellent and is lasting approximately 5 -6 days. I have contacted Xplora Customer Services (to ask a question about what SIM to and what sort of deal to go for) who responded via email in less than an hour which was good. In summary, it's a thumbs up - I would recommend!

Overall looks good, but struggling to set up the school silent time. I have the app, and have also downloaded a brochure and watched several YouTube videos but the option is just not there. Gps is good, snd the SOS function is great

I bought this product in Feb and so far it hasn't let us down. The gpr is almost perfect most of the time and signal using giff gaff is excellent.Very easy to use and my daughter loves it.I had one issue where my daughter accidentally broke the moulded strap wile removing for charging. I contacted xplora who had replaced this within 3 days. Fantastic service and very happy overall. Excellent value for money also.Only thing that would be good is a spare strap or to be able to buy the straps individually as I couldn't find them anywhere online?

This watch was reviewed in the children’s The Week magazine & Daily Telegraph as being a great choice. The Xplora 3 uses 2G and has very limited capacity to secure a signal. Without 3 full bars of signal strength commands cannot be a actioned on the watch. SIM free versions are only compatible with 3 or O2 in UK. This makes use even harder for anyone rurally. The GPS location doesn’t accurately position the watch. In our rural location the tracker shows the watch to be 3-5 miles from where my daughters actually is. There is an Xplora 4, it may be a better (more expensive) alternative.

According the their website, you can only use SIM cards from 02 or EE for this watch, both of which are not at all cost competitive as other providers from a pay-as-you-go point of view. We wanted to use PAYG for keeping our son's watch connected so this was no good for us.Unfortunately, I can't comment on the usability or quality of this watch as we never got passed the SIM stumbling block!

Good device. Very useful to stay in-touch with my little one when we are apart. We are both enjoying it!

Great alternative to a phone when your child is not quite old enough for one yet!

My son loves this, so do I. An older child might want a more technical product but for my 7 year old its brilliant. I have full control of who can contact him etc. He loves being able to contact me when i work long hours by sending me a rose emoji etc.With the contacts you add, they can only call the contacts unless they are made "guardian". With the guardians he can send emoji and a voice message and call. He loves seeing how many steps he does in a day. It had helped his relationship with his dad who doesnt live with us.It is slow compared to a proper phone or a non child smart watch but i think for a 7 year old its fine. No problem with signal. Battery lasts a day and a halfish with lots of use. You can turn brightness down etc.I originally bought one on here for 25 pounds, it didnt turn on and when i looked at reviews it seemed everyone had the same problem. So this is basic but for a young child who you still want to protect from a proper phone and social media but give them a bit of responsibility and freedom to contact close family its perfect.
