Dropped or missed calls, no signal, device not found - you name it. One of the most common complaints from Gizmo customers is spotty connectivity. Verizon’s network may work fine in your area, but that’s no guarantee the Gizmo Watch will reliably pick up calls. Buyers beware, the Gizmo can corrupt your entire family plan! Frequently, those plans are associated with larger family plans, which increases the difficulty of disentangling and prematurely ending a contract.
It’s not just that the device fails to live up to its advertised capabilities, it’s that Verizon also locks users into inflexible plans. We’ve heard this story from Verizon / Gizmo customers many times. “ I’m considering switching our entire family plan and business accounts away from Verizon” But buyer beware! The average lifespan of a Gizmo device is barely two years, and that’s if your child takes good care of it.
And this makes sense, as the raw cost of the device is listed at over $150, which they discount substantially when you sign a long term contract. Verizon still requires a lengthy, multi year contract when purchasing the Gizmo. “ I went to the Verizon store only to find out I would have to change my entire plan which was double the cost. The Gizmo watch reviews below tell a concerning story. The more sophisticated applications (geofencing, live tracking, etc) were unusable. Usability: Don’t expect much more than to use Gizmo GPS than to give you a general idea of where your child is. Even when it worked, it was frequently only accurate to within a mile or so. Accuracy: Much like users have reported, COSMO engineers found the Gizmo’s GPS to be wildly unreliable at times, reporting locations all over the world. Frequent GPS usage will kill the battery in much less than a day. Live tracking rapidly drains the watch’s energy. Battery: Battery life takes a big hit from using the GPS. COSMO’s testing of the device surfaced these main conclusions: Despite advertising a suite of GPS features, the Verizon Gizmo is notoriously unreliable. If you’re considering a Gizmo Watch for your child, keep in mind these 10 real customer experiences, which we have validated as instances of ongoing, systemic issues:Ī well-known and ongoing problem with Gizmo is its spotty GPS functionality.
