Xplora X6 Play Long-Term Review - Kids GPS Smart Watch Tracker - Honest Opinion

My honest opinion on Xplora X6 Play GPS kids smartwatch after few months of use. What are your thoughts?

Is there any way to load other apps onto the watch? I'd like to run OwnTracks on it as that would make it easy to use as a presence device for home automation.

Thanks for the review. If you configure the Wi-Fi on the watch, a usable keyboard appears. Why it can't be used to write messages is beyond me.

Do you need to click the refresh icon in the app to get the latest location every time? Or it will refresh automatically?

Thanks for your review, it helps a lot. Could you please also advise - does it make sense to choose the dataplan with a lot of SMS included or the messaging is going via your data plan, like WhatsApp, etc? The calls are being done via the normal GSM network, I presume?

Hello, thanks for the honest review, really useful! Quick question: are the steps counted daily? Just bought a device for my son and the steps seem to add up...they do not reset after one day. Not sure if this is the design or if our product is faulty? Thank you so much!

Hi, Do you know how to unmute the watch? When I give it a call, there is no ringer and it is silent, so my son sometimes misses our calls

Excellent review. very helpful. And yes it does rain a lot in Scotland :)

What better alternative, Not Apple and Not costing 200+ are there though?

[Calixtus]

It does say it’s ip68 waterproof is it not in uk, Scotland?

I don't think thats a good product in general, because the GPS seems to be faulty. After switching the watch on in the morning, my son could be tracked on the way to school but after a while the GPS or the status updates stops working. and we are not the only user having those BIG problem. So, no, the watch doesn't do what we bought it for, it's a buggy product and whats even annoying is the fact, that there is no "really" customer service available at XPLORA, even if you reach someone via email (after days waiting) they can't so, is there a "better" product for kids out there (especially incl. school mode) or is this bad product the best on the market?

On your final comment about re-buying or not, you said you would buy an Apple Watch.So my question. Is possible with an Apple Watch Geofence, real time and history?

[pravaji]

Hi, is the gps location of the watch updated realtime? My kid currently has a TCL watch and the location is updated only after about 10 mins…

I only have my name ‘dad’ showing on his messages to be able to send me a text - how do I add/sync to be allow my son to send them messages/ pre written texts ?

[gordokgordo]

Its IP68 certified so can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes to a depth of 1.5 meters fella

[qurtabah]

Just bought mine. And to my surprise they forced me to buy a service subscription of $10 before it could start working. Its so bad that they can scam you for this

[moccamixer]

They all suck. I don’t get why they don’t male serious solutions for kids in the upper class. Like 500 bucks or sth
