This arrived in a Moochies branded display box with the watch secured in a lift front panel and the charging lead along with instruction book under this. The first thing I did was to put the watch on charge, the charging lead is a USB to a magnet connection on the back of the watch, a neat system and easy for a child to put on charge without messing up the charging port trying to force it in.
The manual is very well laid out being easy to follow detailing all the functions and features along with exploratory diagrams that take you through step by step. Once the watch had fully charged I turned it on and followed the instructions registering on the Moochies web site and choosing a package. The basic package is £10 a month giving 180 minutes of calls along with 300 Mb of data not a great deal for £10 a month in my opinion. There isn’t a contract and you can cancel the rolling payment at any time although this would render the watch inactive and fairly pointless.
I tested out the video calling that works well and gives a reasonable display image and the sound is acceptable although somewhat tinny on the watch side, the tracking works fairly well within my area but as a test my wife took the watch to work and I found the signal was lost at points during her travel.
The camera works fine for taking snaps but the results are not of great quality and somewhat distorted, messaging works perfectly, the class mode worked as it should, the pedometer although basic worked very well. The safe zones feature worked very well alerting you when it was breached, the SOS sounds an audio alert when pressed and held for a short while although this does not alert for very long so could be missed.
I found the watch to be very bulky for a child and thought the screen wouldn’t be too hard to scratch or break, the swipe function works well and the features are easy to navigate and use even for a small child.
Overall this watch has some great features and functions but I do have quite a few issues with it, the monthly payment although not contract is expensive for the allowance you get, it ties you into a rolling payment or the watch is inactive for its primary purpose, I would have liked to see it fitted with a pay as you go sim giving more flexibility and not tying you into a yearly cost in excess of the cost of the watch.
The battery life isn’t the best and with high usage needs charging after around eight hours although the charging system is very good and charging is fairly quick. The watch in my opinion is very bulky on a child’s wrist and everything is reliant on a good signal with the provider being “EE” so I would suggest checking out how good their signal is in your area before purchase, I did contact the Moochies support and found them very quick to respond and helpful on a plus side.
