Watch works well other than occassional incorrect location (usually corrected with refresh of app page or signing out and back in) and gives us peace of mind that we can contact our son and vice versa... See more

Faultless.
Perfect way to allow children independence with peace of mind and extra security of having sound guardian. Never have any issues with signal and cannot fault this and would buy this items again in the future for my youngest child.
Great for a first smart watch
Great for a first smart watch. The GPS tracking is accurate and the calls are clear. Only slight issue is how easily the screen scratches, but my son is very rough with his things.
Great phone watch
The watch gave our 11 year old son independence to be out and about on his own, but always able to contact us. The GPS tracker is not always very quick to respond or hugely accurate even when pinged from the app, but he mainly uses it to ring us and be rung so it doesn’t matter and it will eventually show us the location. He loves the more adult design of the watch and it’s great that it can be put on school mode during the day.
Safe, Reliable, and Parent-Approved!
I’m extremely happy with the Kidsnav watch — it’s a fantastic product that brings both functionality and peace of mind. My child can make and receive calls and even video calls, which keeps us connected no matter where they are. One of the best features is the ability to eavesdrop on the surroundings if my child doesn't answer — this has given me incredible reassurance in situations where I couldn’t reach them right away.
Another great feature is the school mode, which allows the watch to be locked during school hours so it doesn’t become a distraction. I love that it’s designed with both safety and responsibility in mind.
Overall, the Kidsnav watch is a great investment for any parent looking to stay connected and ensure their child’s safety. Highly recommend!

Kidsnav have fantastic customer service. I have found them very helpful.
The watch itself has the perfect features for my 8 year old and not too much! However, I feel it doesn't actually function as well as it could in reality. I am not sure if it is to do with the watch or the SIM but the location is completely unreliable, it sometimes says my daughter is in the middle of a roundabout where she has never been. She rarely has signal anywhere we go. In school holidays I forget to turn off school mode and then it's impossible to turn it off when she doesn't have signal.
Definitely get the screen protector.

Brilliant watch for kids
Brilliant watch for kids. Bought for my Son’s 8th Birthday and he’s delighted with it. Recommend buying the screen protector as we’ve already had a knock to the watch but the protector took the brunt! Good app features too.
Purchased my son's watch back in…
Purchased my son's watch back in September 2024 and we have been loving it so far. Gives me so much peace of mind when he is out playing. So easy to use and to set up. Would definitely recommend and great customer service
This is the best GPS in the market
This is the best GPS in the market. It's features include GPS live tracking, calling your child, your child sending you an SOS (so easy that use, my 4 year old was able to do it), boundary setting, your child can also call you and other people that you have included on the contacts list. You can manage a lot of the settings on there remotely from the app.
My only issue is the new payment set up on the watch, which means that if I don't spend £10 of the credit every so often then £10 is deducted (not the difference, so this could be £9 spent and then £10 is deducted so you spend £19!). The previous set up was better, a £10 top up every 6 months. Especially as I only use the watches on holidays. Trying to work with this minimum spend because the watch is really good and has great features.

Great service when purchasing my…
Great service when purchasing my daughters first phone watch, she was very excited to get it. Looks really cool and user friendly for her age and as her parents provides such great peace of mind knowing where she is and that we can talk to one another.
5* watch
Fantastic watch .. great for my 7year old to use while out playing.
Would defo recommend to others.
Super easy to use!
The watch is really easy for my 7 year old to use, and gives us the confidence to let her have some more independence. The GPS updates regularly and has a boundary alarm too to ensure extra safety. The battery does run down faster than hoped which is the only downside. Plenty of great features on the app too. Very pleased with this purchase.
Excellent customer service
The watch itself is excellent and exactly what my 9 year old needs to give him more independence. I had a couple of issues connecting to the app but the customer service I received was excellent, responding really quickly over the weekend to sort it out.
Great watch
Great watch, love the app, great customer service too. Recommended to all friends and family with little ones.
Suberb piece of kit!
I have always found kidsnav to be helpful in setting up the watch, their technical support is excellent. We have 2 watches for our grandkids, they love them and the watches give us peace of mind and our grandkids some additional freedom
Kids nav watch - call / location tracker / listen in
The features of the watch are great to allow my son more freedom whilst staying safe.
We can make 2 way calls, I can track his location and also listen in should I need to. Easy to use with a useful app to track information.
Brilliant watch
Brilliant watch. Easy to use and gives peace of mind when my son is out to play. Customer service is very helpful also. Would highly recommend
Great watch and great customer service
Great watch and great customer service.
I wanted to give my son more freedom but didn’t want him to have a mobile phone. This watch is perfect, it allows us to keep in touch when he’s out and I can track where he is. He can get in touch with me if he needs me very easily and he likes to text me updates. This watch has allowed him to have more freedom and to take responsibility, we chat about where he’s going and what time he needs to be back and he comes back on time, every time since having this watch! I would recommend these watches to anyone especially for that in between stage when they don’t need a mobile phone and you want to give them a bit of freedom but you are worried about where they are and if they are safe. Excellent customer service too, I had a problem with the first watch, contacted customer service and they sent a replacement within a couple of days. Would definitely recommend.
Too bulky with poor battery life
We bought one for our 7yr old as we felt her was too young for a phone but we wanted to be able to contact her and know she is safe when getting the bus home from school. As we live in the Isle of Man this watch was recommended to work with an Isle of Man SIM card which it did.
I’ve given 1 star for the following reasons:
1. it was really big/bulky and heavy for our daughters wrist - her and her sister hated wearing it saying it was uncomfortable
2. The battery life was shockingly poor - wouldn’t last the school day (well down to under 10% by 3pm) and they hadn’t been using or playing with it.
3. The gps tracker wasn’t great - I have it downstairs at the moment yet the app says it’s a few roads away!
4. Limited colours and designs and not as nice looking as the array of other smart watches on the market in the uk.
5. My girls seem to knock the volume button often ? so they never heard or felt us calling them
6. I always had trouble connecting my calls to the watch which made the watch pointless as I could never get hold of my daughter.
7. All in all for us personally, the watch was also expensive for what it delivered - a bulky watch that wasn’t reliable or do the job it was bought for.
The listening in and seeing her surroundings feature is great for emergencies but I wouldn’t want to use that feature just anytime as it invades my daughter’s privacy.
Wouldn’t buy this type again.

Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service. Easy to get in touch with. Quick response. Items always received when advised and quick response
Highly recommend, been using for more than six months now
This watch is a must have for all parents who care for their kids. After this in-built camera calling feature, I am relieved from stress. No more worrying as to where my kid is. I can locate my kid through the gps tracker. Two-way communication with awesome features. Recommended this watch to so many friends in my neighbourhood. Now, most of the kids are kidsnav gang! 😊
