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

Thoroughly recommend
Brilliant watch which gives me peace of mind when the children are at clubs by themselves. Accurate gps and the do not disturb school mode is great for when they are in the classroom. Customer service is v responsive.
Great for calls
My son loves the watch and it's a happy middle ground before being allowed a mobile phone.
Ideal for calls and voice messages. Buttons are tiny for texting so very rarely used.
As all reviews state the GPS isn't always very accurate and works better if he's outside than in a building.
Credit seems to last a long time.

Bought this watch for my 8 year old as he didn’t want to carry his phone around and it is great he rings and messages me telling me where he is which makes me feel more at ease and I can track where he is which is an added bonus!… He loves the little math game on it too! Would recommend!
A good first watch
This watch has enabled my 7 year old son to have some more independence while giving me some peace of mind. He has enjoyed being able to contact his loved ones of his own accord and makes good use of the extra features, too. The sim package is very affordable and top ups are few and far between. The only reason for 4 stars is that the accuracy of the GPS isn't always spot on, however we do live in a remote area which may affect the accuracy.
Excellent and last the test of time
Both my children have had these watches for a number of years and both still working great. Gives me peace of mind when they are out playing with their friends and allows them to stay in touch. I love that you can now also change the strap (an ideal stocking filler).
Great all-round watch with steadily improving app
We’ve had a couple of KiDSnav watches (replacing previous ones also KiDSnav) - overall pleased with them, good features on watches and the app. Location seems to be accurate but would be useful if we could adjust position update rate for when trying to ‘home in’ on the watch/child. Would recommend.
Contacted company to tell them how…
Contacted company to tell them how pathetic this tracker is and got the most unprofessional response ever.
Offered no professional advice other than make sure you have a good data signal
Watch battery drains within minutes and location is way off infact it’s coming up we are in China not Scotland!!!
I would massively suggest anyone avoids this company
They did however tell me to send the pathetic piece of equipment back they did actually quote my description of their watch!!
You can’t fix a battery draining within seconds of it being taken of the charge?!
Refund is fine am just being honest with my review I am left with an upset boy wanting to know where his watch is

Great idea for piece of mind
Great idea for piece of mind, my child isn't old enough for a phone and this is a great way to still be able to contact them when needed and for them to contact us. Also came in handy recently when my phone battery had run out!
Overall a good watch
Overall a good watch, excellent for calling daughter and never had an issue with connectivity. I can control who she can call which is a bonus.
Strap is comfortable and the face isn’t too big. Daughter likes that she can tap to connect with her friends.
GPS is slow to catch up but I did heavy research on this prior to buying and have spoke so to several other parents with different brands and they are all about the same unless you buy an apple etc and that’s us both too expensive and lacks the safety of this watch.
Daughter also likes that straps are interchangeable too as is screen saver.
Customer services: excellent, we had an error with the watch about 8 months after purchase, prompt to respond and new watch face provides.
Excellent watches
Bought 2 of the kids nav watches, one for my 6yo and one for my 9yo. They both love them and are easy to work. Easy to set up and great way for me to communicate with them whilst they’ve been at grandparents over the school hols.
Love it
My daughter bought Kidsnav smart watch after saving h er pocket money. She is 9 and it's a bit on a bigger side when on the wrist but she loves it and wears it even when sleeps at night! It makes her feel like grown up, She says the calendar that allows her to arrange her dates, she takes pictures of her and her friends, she loves the games, especially math game, it improves her math skills. We tried phone calls and had no problem. Would defo recommend these watches for kids.
Really good watch
We bought the watch for our daughter and we'd buy it again. Does what it's supposed to and is easy to use. Highly recommend for a parent's piece of mind when your child is going out.
Great for peace of mind!
Bought Kidsnav Edge a year ago for my 8yr old and it is brilliant. Would 100% recommend. Have had no problems and it does so many things. Puts your mind at rest knowing where they are and being able to contact them anytime. Best buy.
Easy to use, peace of mind, highly recommend.
We bought the Kids Nav watch for our child as they are 8 years old and wanting more independence playing in the street with friends or calling in to see their friends in the street.
The messaging is excellent and very easy to use.
The app gives great parental controls, for example the watch can only contact numbers that you the parent has added in the app beforehand.
You can also video call.
The sim card that comes with it is easy to use and you are not required to sign a subscription - this is good for us as we prefer to pay for what we use as we go.
The location option has proved very useful when the watch was accidentally misplaced. It was found easily and quickly.
Highly recommend this kids gps watch and other parents have admired it and want one too.
Great watch from Kids Nav
Great watch from Kids Nav. 8yr old son enjoys using it as more than just a watch. Able to contact parents and grandparents on it, take photos and more.
Website super easy to use and efficient and loads of different options to select from for the watch.
A great buy for those kids who aren't yet ready for a phone.
Bought this for my son …
Bought this for my son to give us piece of mind as he’s just starting to venture out to play with his friends and it’s amazing! So easy to use and to keep in contact with him. So much so our friends are ordering for their kids now !
4th year using Kidsnav
This is our 4th yr using Kidsnav watches (we have 2)
Customer service is first class
The App is easy to use and tracking is pretty accurate
I have recommend to friends :)
Great kidsnav watch
My son loves his kidsnav watch. It has given him some freedom and independence which is great. It was delivered quickly once ordered on the website. It's easy to set up and use. He loves to text and call his family and friends. I also like the classroom function so it can be disabled during class time. All in all a great watch.
Fantastic watch!!
Fantastic tool to offer my children freedom. Reasonably accurate gps with great battery life.
Great watch for an 8 year old looking for some independence
Website was easy to use with super fast delivery! My daughter loves her new kids nav watch. She has been using it for a few weeks - battery life seems fine, she can call and text parents and friends and is enjoying sending pictures & voicemails to our family group chat. Location seems pretty accurate when she is out with friends. It also intercepts any unknown numbers and notifies us which is great! A really positive experience for us!
