New - Octopus Kids Smart Watch v2 - Blue - Plan Activities, Responsibilities and Healthy Habits - Fitness Tracker and Electronic Daily Schedule - Night Light Included

This is a really well thought through watch for kids. My daughter (7 years old) needed constant reminders in the morning (eat breakfast, brush your teeth, put your lunch box in the back pack, get your clothes on... yes: AFTER breakfast and teeth brushing so that there is no spill) and in the evening. I didn't want to buy a gadget (smart watch) and wanted a watch she could actually use. It is BRILLIANT!!!My daughter's first comment when she got the watch was: “I am so glad I have this. Now you don’t need to remind me!”It works SO WELL. Not a single reminder. She is on top of it. And now she reminds me what to do.I first bought the older version; this new version is so much better. And don't try to save a few dollars. The charging base is great. It has a magnet to plug/unplug the watch very easily. And it doubles up as a night light when the watch is charging.The app allows the parent to set the schedule (e.g. Hip Hop Dance lesson every Wednesday 3:30pm to 4:15pm) and add multi-steps (clean bedroom every Wednesday 2:45pm to 3pm, get ready for dance lesson every Wednesday 3pm to 3:15pm).The app synchronises the watch via Bluetooth. And then turns the Bluetooth OFF. This is great to avoid exposing your kids to radiowaves. Once synced, the watch has different modes to choose from (based on the age of the kid). For younger kids, icons (representing the activity to do) can be displayed.I wish this products existed a few years ago for my other kids. And just to be clear: there are absolutely no game, distraction or anything like that.Last nice bonus: when the kid presses on the screen 3 times, there us a text that is displayed "ICE" (in case of emergency). I have both our numbers (mom, dad) and her older brother's cell phone.

I love this watch! It allows you as a parent to input your child's schedule for their entire day from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night including all daily living activities throughout the day. It lets your child know for example when they have play time to when it's dinnertime. Perhaps the best part is how it helps my child wake up in the morning by alerting her through a vibration that it is time to get up. Now she is not so surprised when I enter her room and she is ready to start moving. Now that she is reminded to brush her teeth as the icon appears right after breakfast I don't have to tell her. We can actually leave the house on time now as the watch keeps my daughter on schedule. I think I need this too! :) I can use some help with my executive functioning as well!

We loved this watch initially as it really helped my almost 5 year old son better manage his time. As warned by the other reviews, the screen was scratched the first day he wore it - but it still worked. After less than two weeks, the screen started to go black and it stopped working. Not worth the money if it's going to break in less than two weeks time. I reached out to customer service and they told me it was damage caused by misuse. In my opinion, if a product costs $80 and is meant to be used by children, it should be more durable.

Works as advertised mostly. It certainly got my 5 year olds attention. What I don’t like is that you must sync every time you make a change to the schedule and that requires you to tap the screen on the watch itself. You can’t just make updates on the app and make it sync.

I have an 8 year old with special needs who is at school all day and does well to know her schedule and have alerts about what is coming up. I hate giving this watch a bad review, but after my initial contact with their customer service was disappointing and then a piece of the strap broke off, I’m more than irritated. The watch face was horribly scratched after one week of use, and so I contacted customer service to see if they could offer a replacement or suggest a screen protector. They told me to buy a plastic cleaner online : / Not sure why a kids watch is so fragile. Now that the strap piece has broken I am more than irritated and my kid is a mess over it. Great idea, but the engineering and customer service need work.

The one problem I have with this watch is that we have only had it a week and the watch face is already scratched up pretty bad. Otherwise it is great.

I was very disappointed in this product. The concept sounds really nice, but I found it to be poor execution. I found in more time consuming than I anticipated to set up the routines in the app. The motion sensor doesn’t seem to pick up my 4 year olds motion very well sometimes it still says 0, but it does appear to recognize it better on my 7 year old. There is only one touch button, and I’m sure this is for simplicity as the primary users are children, but it is more annoying than anything. It doesn’t work that great as you have to press and hold repeatedly sometimes and then tap multiple times. It’s frustrating. Now by no means was I expecting this to be like my Apple Watch or anything, but I we have been really disappointed. I would recommend waiting to see if they or someone else comes out with a better developed product.
