KidsOClock GL50

My son absolutely loves his KidsOClock watch. He can go on a bike ride or go exploring and I have complete confidence he’s safe and will call if need be. It’s a game changer. Show details

My son got the GL50 for Christmas 2024,but lasted just 1year and 6 months.It got water damaged from rain even though it's a water-resistant watch. This is our second kidsoclock watch that has been broken. This one it's not replaced by guarantee. Otherwise it's a good watch while it lasted,suits it's purpose,but I'm not buying anymore from this brand.

I purchased the KidsClock on the recommendation of a family member. The web site was easy to follow in terms of which model and the features that were available The KidsClock is smart in order to keep kids safe, but also ensuring they can only access "particular" features The tracking via Australia Post was very efficient Once the KidsClock… Read more

arrived, I found the process of setting up the SIM card very easy, and of course, choosing the correct data plan

KidsoClock has been a game changer for us! My daughter has started taking the school bus going to school & back home starting next term. We feel more assured as she can check in with us as she gets to the school & when she’s on her way to home. We… Read more

especially love that we can disable the watch during school hours, also limit the contacts she has on her watch. We think we can genuinely put off needing to give her a phone for a bit longer. We have recommended the watch to her friends’ parents and most of the kids in her friend group have gotten it already

I purchased the KidsOClock watch for my son when his Spacetalk Adventurer watch stopped working. We wanted to try a different watch as the Spacetalk is quite chunky and the touch screen is not as responsive as it could be. The KidsOClock price was… Read more

excellent and it arrived very quickly after I placed my order. It was quite easy to set up and there was online help that I utilised when I got stuck on setting up the password. The watch is similar in size to an Apple Watch and my son loves the style. He also loves changing the faces. He enjoys keeping track of his step count each day too. The touch screen is responsive and the app is easy to use. It does everything I need it to do such as keeping track of my son’s location and being able to call or text each other. In my opinion it is much better than the last kids smart watch we had been using for several years. I used to have to encourage my son to wear the last one. He loves wearing the KidsOClock and the battery lasts longer than the last watch too. I am extremely happy with KidsOClock watch and so is my son.

I’m really impressed with the GL50 KidsO’Clock smartwatch — it’s easy to use, packed with great features, and gives me real peace of mind. My ten‑year‑old absolutely loves it too, especially the fun design and useful functions. I also really… Read more

appreciate features like School Mode, which helps minimise distractions during class while still keeping essential safety features active. It’s been a total win for both of us!

We have certainly appreciated the recent successful purchase of our KidsOClock watch and it is proving to be very effective for us. The main user of the watch is our Down syndrome son Ben, and he is managing to use the watch primarily as a time-piece, but it is also giving us peace of mind being able to know where he is with the pretty… Read more

neat "location" function. We're also happy that he is managing the process to keep the watch regularly charged. All in all the purchase and registering process went smoothly for us even though we wouldn't describe ourselves as "tech-savvy". We're sure there are some new features we may discover, but we mainly wanted to ensure both Ben and we could get the basics right to start. We do like the location feature although wonder if we're doing the best process of always needing to let the watch/app take a full minute to identify position ... maybe there's a smarter way, we'll explore more maybe. Thank-you again to KidsOClock for your product and systems.

Here is my review of the KidsOClock GL50: I spent a lot of time researching which kids smart watch would be best for my 10 year old daughter. I chose the KidsOClock GL50 as I wanted something that had video calling, and a few extra fun features as it was a birthday gift. Price point was great in comparison to other watches with similar features … Read more

Pros: Really easy setup, parents control everything via the app on their phone. I have set up the School hours lock easily so she is not distracted by the watch during school The location feature is accurate and really easy to use Battery life is good, lasts easily for over 24 hours before needing to charge. My daughter loves the AI features, without it being too excessive for my liking, Size of the watch is great, my daughter has tiny wrists and has no problems wearing it all day Excellent service from the company. They sent me the wrong watch strap and promptly sent me the correct one once I notified them,

Cons: AI feature often mishears her when she uses the voice controls. Unique charger head that I haven't seen in stores, so I recommended getting a second one

Overall very happy with this choice!

Our 7-year-old recently started using the Kid-o-Clock GL50 watch, and overall, it’s been a fantastic investment for our family’s peace of mind. ​What we love: ​Easy Setup: From a parent's perspective, the initial setup was a breeze. ​Intuitive App: The app is straightforward. I especially like the "school times" feature, which keeps him focused… Read more

during class. ​Kid-Friendly Interface: It’s very easy for a 7-year-old to navigate. He can call his saved contacts or send us a message without any frustration. ​Reliable Tracking: The GPS tracking works well, which is our primary reason for getting it. ​Perfect Size: The screen is large enough to read messages clearly, but the watch itself isn't too bulky for a child's wrist. ​Area for improvement:

The only downside has been the AI functionality. It doesn't "talk back" and struggled to understand even basic questions. We found it a bit clunky, so we’ve turned it off for now (you can do this in the app). We’d love to see a software update to make this feature more interactive and responsive.

​Final Verdict: Despite the AI, the core safety and communication features are excellent. If you’re looking for a reliable way to stay connected with your child, this is a solid choice!

I bought 2 GL50 watches for our 10 year old sons. They love the look and comfort of the watches. As a parent we love the ability to send them on their way to school each day, knowing they dont wander off track and reach it safely. The ability for us to also send them a sime message or call if we are running late at school pick-up time. My youngest boy now wants one of his own. Highly recommended the KidsOClick watch over any other brand.

So far, we are really happy with the KidsClock watch. My daughter wears it to school every day. It’s so easy to set up that I can restrict her from using other functions and only allow her to check the time during school hours through my app. I have already recommended the KidsClock watch to friends who are keen on buying a smartwatch for their… Read more

kids. My only complaint is about the shipping. Our first package arrived incomplete, missing the two extra straps, with no note or explanation. I had to reach out to customer service to check when the rest of my order would be delivered.（ and we still waiting for our blue strap after one month)

So far, so good. It's been great to give our 10-year-old a bit more independence while still knowing we can contact him if needed. The watch was easy to set up after the initial software update, and since then it's worked really well. Show details

purchased this kids’ watch for around $250 (GL50) and had a very disappointing experience. The watch developed water damage even though it was never exposed to water directly. It was only used under normal conditions such as light moisture and rain, which is exactly the kind of everyday exposure you would expect for a kids’ watch. Despite this,… Read more

the device failed after 1 Year.

When I raised a warranty claim, it was rejected because it was just 10 days out of warranty, with no flexibility or consideration given to the situation. I was then told a replacement would cost $150 (GL50 model), which is still very expensive given the original purchase price and early failure.

For a product marketed toward children, I expected much better durability and fairer customer support. Unfortunately, both were lacking.

I would not recommend this product to other parents.

Bought this KidsOClock “IP67 waterproof” kids watch, and it stopped working after my son wore it in the rain—just two months after purchase. I contacted customer support for warranty claim and clearly explained what happened. Their response? “Water damage voids the warranty.” They asked us to send the watch back for inspection, and then simply… Read more

confirmed it was “water damage” and refused any refund or replacement.

They completely ignored my question about why a product advertised as IP67 couldn’t even handle rain. Instead, they just kept repeating that water damage isn’t covered.

Very disappointing experience. Be careful before buying—this product did not perform as advertised, and the customer service was frustrating and unhelpful.

My 10 yo had this watch for 3 months and unfortunately it stopped working after getting wet from rain. KidsOClock said the watch was water damaged and not covered by the warranty and my only option was to buy a brand-new watch. This is unacceptable for a watch they advertised as having ip67 Water Rating but is rendered useless from rain. The… Read more

responses from KidsOClock has been very efficient but very I'm very disappointed in the lifespan and lack of useability of this device that really isn't designed for useability or longevity. Unfortunately it's very expensive for an item that lasted 3 months. The watch really can't take any water exposure and given how hard it is to predict rain in Melbourne. Strongly recommend avoiding this product.

We bought the GL50 bundle and are very happy, after researching, comparing about four alternatives and discussing our options for quite some time. Our eldest was straining for increased freedom and autonomy and the highly-featured watch has been a great way to delay phone use. If he’s out with a mate and plans change he can let us know, and he is… Read more

now more included in activities self-generated by his friend group as they can chat. The parental controls are very effective and visibility of their activities is comprehensive. The app is pretty simple, and no-frills but effective. The other thing that’s awesome - dealing with Aussies rather than a faceless international company.

Purchased GL50, my 9yo loves it. Great reception, easy to track and set up. Brings peace of mind knowing he can have independence and contact me easily if necessary. Show details

We bought the GL50 watches for our children (aged 10 & 11) for Christmas. Within days our son had a bad fall on his bike, and he was able to call us to come and get him. Recently, my daughter's watch has been causing issues (turning off without warning). The company was great in helping me investigate the issue. We sent the watch to them for… Read more

further investigation, and they have rectified the issue. All communication with KidsOClock has been timely and professional. We highly recommend these watches to all our friends.

We find the watch extremely helpful. My son has always wanted to ride to school. This watch has given both us and him the confidence for him to ride with friends knowing he can call if worried and we are able to track where he is. It is also really nice to be able to text him if we are running late for pickup, preventing him from stressing if we… Read more

are not there when the bell rings. He loves the autonomy of using the alarms to remind him of important tasks and chores which enables him to feel more successful and independent. We also love that the product is local!

A big thank you, from the whole family!

My daughter is 8 and LOVES her new watch! We love the security of knowing she can contact us anytime if she’s on a play date. However I’m hoping the novelty wears off soon, as she called me 52 times in one day, all while we were in the same house! my only feedback would be that the watch is quite big on her wrist (it’s actually bigger than her… Read more

wrist, but it doesn’t really seem to bother her) and the Velcro strap we bought is actually too big on the smallest setting. The silicon strap however is perfect on the smallest setting.

The watch has been great, my son loves wearing it and being able to contact us to let us know when he’s at school. It’s great to be able to see where he is as well, app and location work great and so do the messages, highly recommend. Show details

We purchased a KidsOClock watch for our 10 year old son. It has been incredible for his independence, without having to go the full way to a phone. It was easy to set up and is easy for both of us to use. The watch gives me security that he is safe when he wants to do things on his own and it allows him to feel grown up. I would highly recommend the watch.
