What are you buying?

VTech KidiZoom DX Smart Watch has a camera for taking both still and motion pictures. Users can add beautiful effects of their choice to the photos after taking them; you can add colourful frames, filter and fun effects. Voices can also be recorded and funny effects added to alter them.

You can customise it by changing the watch’s outlook with up to fifty different digital and analogue styles to choose from. Eight games are already incorporated into the watch but should your child want more, they can download more from the learning lounge.

The Time Master teaches kids how to take time like a master. There is also a calendar that can teach kids how to tell dates, an alarm, a stopwatch as well as a timer. Let your kid know how to keep time with these amazing features.

Time Master is the ultimate teacher. It will teach your kids colours, letters, phonics, interesting facts, new vocabulary and even a bit of Math. And it comes in four great modes to suit your preferences.

Additional features include a pedometer and action challenge activities that react to motion. The watch’s screen is sensitive to touch which makes navigation easy. It is also coloured.

How easy is it to use?

The watch has a touch screen which allows for easy navigation. A switch button lets you turn the smartwatch on and off. It has a USB port that enables you to charge your device, transfer photos and videos to a computer using USB cables.

Also, it comes with an inbuilt memory which can store up to eight hundred photos and about six one minute videos. It is a relatively easy device to use once your kid knows how it works.

What accessories are included?

The smart watch comes with inbuilt rechargeable batteries. No need to buy a new battery every time. The package also contains an instruction manual to guide you through its workings and a USB lead.

Pros

1. Splash-proof

The watch can withstand a few splashes of water, saliva and even sneeze contents. No need to worry about your not-so-careful child destroying it in a matter of days. It is going to last for a while.

2. Daily learning challenges

The watch’s learning tool gets even better as it provides your kids with challenges every day. The watch aids in brain development in a fun easy way.

3. Good quality photos and videos

For a toy, this watch’s camera quality is quite good. You can transfer the photos and videos to a computer with ease using the micro-USB that comes in the package.

4. Comfortable

It’s light nature and adjustable bands mean that it can be worn all day long without any problems. Your child pretty much forgets that they have it on after a while. Also, its compact nature means that it can be worn when you go for vacation and even to school.

Cons

1. Small power switch

The power switch is quite small so it could be a challenge to turn on and off for younger kids. An adult would be required to turn the device on and off for the younger kids.

2. Small screen

Kids who are already used to playing games on bigger devices such as tablets will find that this screen is too small.

Anything else you should know?

• The smart watch’s memory can only hold about eight hundred photos and six one minute videos. You might need to transfer items frequently to another device to create more space.
• Older kids will tire very easily with the games within partly because of the small screen size. Purchase it for kids around 4-7 years.
• The batteries are not as long lasting as you would expect. They will need to be changed after a few months of continuous use.

Conclusion

This is a smarter watch than many smartphones out there. It is kid-friendly and has useful features that are not only fun but also educative. The watch will develop your child’s language skills, problem-solving abilities and give them important skills such as time-reading. I would recommend this watch as the perfect holiday gift for 4-7-year-old kids. Get yours today.
