KidsOClock GL50

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.

We bought the Kids O’Clock for our 11-year-old’s birthday and have been very happy with it so far. It’s been especially helpful when he’s out riding his bike, as it gives us a reliable way to stay in contact. Didn't want him to have a phone as didn't want him to have internet access but we were keen to know where he was. There’s no subscription,… Read more

just a mobile plan that you choose, and the app is easy to use. Love that it can be on "do not disturb" during class too.Overall, it’s been a great solution for us.

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 love our new watch. It's easy to use and cute! Our daughter use it to contact us where she's at after school and also she can take pictures and showed us her new school and friends. Show details

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!

Fabulous watch. Stays charged for a few days. Love the listening in feature and photo taking feature. Child loves the watch as well. Has all the features he needs and the phone plans are very reasonable to afford. Lots of remote parental control too.

My daughter has been using the GL50 for a month and it’s been a great choice. After a multitude of research, I’m extremely happy with the purchase. The school-time lockdown works exactly as we needed, and although a little fiddly at first to setup, it’s been easy to use ever since. Show details

I’m very happy with the watch. It was easy to set up and works well. It gives me peace of mind as I can contact and track my child when needed. It’s also comfortable and practical for everyday use. Overall, it’s a great, simple way for parents to stay connected with their kids, and it offers good value for money.

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.

I bought your watch for my sons 10th birthday and he has been thrilled with it so far! Not only has it allowed him to gain a bit more independence, it’s also reassuring to s a parent to know he isn’t able to access the internet/social media etc at such a young age. Will definitely be purchasing another for my daughters birthday later this year! 10/10 great product! Show details

We recently got the Kids O’Clock watch for our son, and it has been a game-changer for our family. The standout feature for me is the accurate tracking. It provides incredible peace of mind knowing exactly where he is, whether he’s at school or playing at a friend's house. The parental controls are also excellent; they are intuitive and give me… Read more

full authority over who can contact him, ensuring he stays safe while using it. Beyond the safety features, the watch is very well-designed. My son finds it extremely comfortable to wear all day, and he loves the stylish look—he actually enjoys keeping it on! If you’re looking for a reliable way to stay connected with your child without the distractions of a full smartphone, I can’t recommend this enough.

I recently purchased a KidsOClock GL 50 for my grandson who has just started to walk himself home from school. It was easy to set up and the parents are very happy with it. It offers great peace of mind knowing he can call if needed and be tracked if necessary. It also offers me, the grandmother, as sense of security knowing I’m just a phone call away if necessary.

I bought my son a kids o’clock GL50 genius, and he loves it. It gives me peace of mind and lets him message me about his day. It has also encouraged him to exercise as he loves to see his daily step counts.

My son and I both absolutely love this watch.

incredibly important. Overall, it has been one of the best experiences we’ve had with this type of device.

We also really appreciate the support team. There were a few initial hiccups when we first got the watch, but the assistance we received made everything smooth and easy to resolve.

It’s a great-looking watch, perfectly suited for a teenager, and packed with all the features we need. We’re truly happy with it.
