XPLORA X6 Play - Watch Phone for Children (4G) - Calls, Messages, Kids School Mode, SOS Function, GPS Location, Camera and Pedometer - Including 3 months free subscription (BLACK)

XPLORA X6 Play is a great 4G watch phone for kids. It's super easy to use, and my seven and five-year-olds worked it out easily. We tried real phone but it was too much of a distraction for my eldest. I love that with 4G connectivity, your little ones can make calls and send messages, keeping them connected in a safe and convenient way. Really helpful as one of my children sometimes needs the reassurance. The Kids School Mode is a game-changer. No distractions during school hours means focused learning for your kids. It's a win-win for parents and kids! And the SOS function is fantastic. If there's an emergency, your kids can easily trigger the SOS button, giving you peace of mind. The GPS location feature lets you keep tabs on your little ones in real-time, ensuring their safety. Plus, it has a camera and pedometer too, adding to its versatility. My kids live snapping pictures on it. It's great that you get a 3-month free subscription to try out all the cool features and services. It's a must-have for parents and an exciting gadget for kids.

The battery on this thing is terrible , barely lasts a day and that’s not even using it for anything other than one 30 second phone call in a day . I bought it for my daughter rather than a phone , I wish I’d just gone for a phone and limited access on it myself . The charger is temperamental, so it’s constantly making a tone as it connects and disconnects , and whilst it’s doing this it is constantly sending notifications to the app on my phone telling me it’s low . The pre written texts are redundant and can’t communicate anything other than hello and goodbye . You have to pay the annual contract all in one , so monthly options aren't available . Everything it advertises like games and ringtones and all the other stuff are behind an even higher paywall to access except for a few tones and screen backgrounds, not that you could use any of it as the watch would be dead within 1/2 a day . The idea is great , the practically and execution of the device are terrible . No doubt it will be in a draw and never used now I’m I’ve paid for the annual fee. I will probably just get my daughter a phone . £180 for the watch , £80 for the annual contract £25 for an additional charger !! (Which my daughter needed for each parents house ) . Please for the love of God , do not purchase this and just get a mobile phone !!!!

Our son love his ‘grown up’ watch (as he calls it). He loves the games & taking photos on it. It's also got a step counter which he love telling us how many steps he's done. The reward system on it means kids receive 1 Xplora Coin for every 1,000 steps they take. Xplora Coins are valid in the unique Xplora's Activity Platform that features fun games, activities & exciting campaigns. He is able to message & receive messages from set contacts only, so it is safe for him to use. We message him using the Xplora app but the watch also uses a SIM card so when he's older this will be the perfect transition before he has his own phone. He absolutely loves the voice note function too! The GPS function is good, it means we can track & locate him whilst he has the watch on. At his age we don't really need to use this function but it will be perfect once he’s older & goes places on his own. It locates the watch quite accurately & we have the choice to view the location on the app as satellite or map view. There are different colours available too.

This has been the perfect option for my little boy who is just starting to go to the park by himself, we are able to add emergency contacts so that we can contact him and vice versa, all whilst knowing that he cannot make contact to anyone not in the contacts. I love that the watch looks similar to our watches and this means my little boy is super excited to wear it and feel like mummy and daddy. The battery life isn't amazing but it's say enough to put on charge every evening like we do for ours. It's easy to used for him and is just perfect for what we need it for. Overall, I would recommend the Xplora X6 Play for parents looking for a reliable and secure smartwatch for their younger children. It provides features like GPS tracking, two-way calling, and safety alerts. It's simple design and child-friendly interface make it a great first smartwatch for children, while its safety and tracking features offer peace of mind for parents. If you're looking for a device to keep your child safe and connected, without the commitment and worry of a fully-featured smartphone, the X6 Play is a great option. However, older kids might outgrow it quickly, so it’s best suited for the younger crowd

Great way to be in touch with your kid. I got this because to be less concerned about where my daughter is and in case I need to talk to her. It is “closed” to message and call only the people I added in the app. The notifications I get on my phone are very useful. I also have access to her location and even set a safety zone where I get notifications when she in or out of that zone. Everything is working smooth and for now I am very happy with my decision to buy one. Setting up is where I would say that I had somewhat of a set back because when I was doing the first configuration I put my phone number instead of the number that was created for the watch. You just have to be a little patient because it might take about 20 min for the text to come with the number you will get for the watch. Otherwise it was fairly simple to set up.

So the watch did not work. I contacted Xplora customer service. They replied within 30 minutes after which they asked me to video the issue and provide some info. I did and They replied quickly, again, to indicate they will send me a replacement watch within 10 business days. I sent the request January 8th. Just received the watch and we are Jan 22nd. All good except they sent it through Shopify which made me pay $23 in tax and handling fees. So be aware. Did not need to complain to the company. They acted as soon as I posted the comment here and offered to issue a refund. As for the watch, it is worth every penny. ONE MORE THING : All you need is a basic phone sim card. I shopped all over the place and no phone company seemed to think their sim card will work on the phone. In the end, we thought to use my husband's Freedom sim card.. and it works perfectly. My son loves it. Full mark for the product and the customer service.

UPDATE-- I take back what I said about this watch. There are WAYYYY too many bugs to sort out. The first watch went through a period of 'No SIM' and bad functionality, which resulted in my getting another through warranty. Now the battery can't hold a charge and the tracking function works when it feels like working. Also, I send messages and my kid doesn't receive them, the school mode doesn't turn off when it's supposed to which means at times, the emergency button needs to be used to get in contact with me. It was nice while it lasted, but I'm tired of fighting. We had this not even two years. My kid is not ready for a traditional phone yet, so this is good in regards to learning more about responsibility. Pro: You can contact them. The watch and app are made so it is completely parent controlled. Con: The tracking works, but there are bugs to work out. Live tracking so far does not really work. I gave it a try as my kid rode home on the bus from school. It did not update.

Acquistato come regalo per mio figlio, lo Smartwatch si presenta in una bella confezione rigida ed accurata, completa di tutti gli accessori ed un paio di cover/anelli colorati per personalizzarlo. Dopo una prima configurazione iniziale attraverso l'app (molto completa) lo Smartwatch ha fatto un paio di aggiornamenti automatici via wifi (solo wifi) e sono iniziati i problemi: esiste una lista di compatibilità SIM testate che io ho scoperto soltanto dopo aver acquistato una SIM Ho. che naturalmente NON funziona in quanto non testata da loro; a quanto pare niente TIM, niente Vodafone, niente PosteMobile in quanto testate (da loro) e NON funzionanti. Ok, ho acquistato una nuova SIM Iliad con piano base (lo Smartwatch dovrebbe consumare mediamente 100/150 Mb/mese e per le chiamate vedete voi) et voilà........ tutto perfettamente funzionante !!!!!!!! lo Smartwatch ha una buona accuratezza GPS e si aggiorna di frequente, invia/riceve chiamate ai contatti memorizzati (anche solo vibrazione), ma non ha funzione SMS: esiste un sistema di messaggistica immediata all'interno dell'app che vi permetterà di comunicare dal vs Smartphone con lo Smartwatch e viceversa. Giudizio complessivo molto buono, forse un po' ingombrante ma ha bisogno di spazio per la batteria, ci sono diverse app (calcolatrice - sveglia - timer - meteo - foto/video - ecc.....) che funzionano tutte molto bene a patto di non avere i miei ditoni grassi ma di usare quelli di un bambino. Consiglio finale: prima di acquistare la SIM con un piano chiamate/dati verificatene la compatibilità per non ritrovarvi (come me.....) con 8 SIM intestate e da chiudere. AGGIORNAMENTO: il primo smartwatch acquistato ha smesso di leggere la SIM dopo qualche mese ed è stato restituito (grazie AMAZON !!!!!!!!) acquistato un secondo smartwatch uguale e dopo qualche mese non si ricarica più né con caricabatteria originale né con compatibile. quando collegato prova ad avviarsi ma poco dopo si spegne e così continua in loop. anche questo smartwatch restituito (grazie AMAZON !!!!!!!!) a questo punto cambio articolo, non mi fido più..... inoltre assistenza XPlora INESISTENTE !!!!!!!!!!

Wir haben die Xplora X6 Play für unser Kind gekauft, weil sie genau das versprach, was wir gesucht haben: einfache Kommunikation über definierte Kontakte, Standortverfolgung und Sicherheitszonen – also mehr Freiheit fürs Kind, bei gleichbleibender Sicherheit für uns Eltern. Anfangs lief auch alles rund. Die Uhr hat etwa zehn Monate lang zuverlässig funktioniert. Danach ging’s leider bergab. Plötzlich funktionierte die Ortung nur noch, wenn man die Uhr vorher neu gestartet hatte. Auch die Sicherheitszonen – für uns ein echtes Hauptargument – haben nur noch sporadisch funktioniert. Dann fing der Akku an zu schwächeln: Nach zwei bis drei Stunden war Schluss, selbst wenn die Uhr vorher voll geladen war. Teilweise hat sie direkt nach dem Abnehmen von der Ladestation komplett den Dienst verweigert. Der Kontakt zum Xplora-Support war anfangs freundlich und machte den Eindruck, dass man sich kümmert. Leider blieb es bei diesem Eindruck. Die Antworten kamen nur alle paar Tage, meist mit Standardvorschlägen wie „bitte ein Update machen“. Eine echte Lösung? Fehlanzeige. Auch die Möglichkeit, die Uhr einzuschicken und prüfen zu lassen, wurde nie angeboten – was ich ehrlich gesagt erwartet hätte. Weitere E-Mails führten zu nichts. Eine Problemlösung gab es bis heute nicht. Nach mehreren Wochen ohne Fortschritt habe ich mich dann direkt an Amazon gewendet. Und was soll ich sagen: Ein Anruf, drei Minuten Gespräch, Rückerstattung und Retourenlabel – fertig. So geht Kundenservice. An dieser Stelle ein echtes und dickes Lob an Amazon! Ich bin generell sehr zufrieden mit dem Kundenservice dort. In über 15 Jahren habe ich ihn vielleicht nur eine Handvoll Mal gebraucht – aber jedes Mal war die Erfahrung durchweg positiv, schnell und unkompliziert. Die Idee hinter der Xplora X6 Play ist wirklich gut. Die Umsetzung leider nicht. Wenn die Grundfunktionen nicht zuverlässig laufen und der Support keine echte Hilfe bietet, bringt das beste Konzept nichts. Wir sind jetzt auf eine alte Apple Watch SE umgestiegen – sicherlich etwas überdimensioniert für den Anwendungsfall, aber sie funktioniert. Und das ist am Ende das Wichtigste. Noch zu zu erwähnen: Die Funktionsprobleme hat nicht nur die Uhr unseres Kindes, sondern sie wurden uns auch aus dem Freundeskreis gespiegelt. Ich hatte die Uhr damals sogar mehrfach empfohlen, weil ich wirklich überzeugt war – umso enttäuschender ist es, dass sich die Probleme offenbar nicht auf einen Einzelfall beschränken und dennoch nicht lösbar sind. Mein Fazit: Leider keine Empfehlung für die Xplora X6 Play. +++++Nachtrag, 25.06.25: Reaktionsfreudig nach Kritik+++++ Nach meiner negativen Rezension meldete sich auch bei mir der Kundenservice sehr schnell – zunächst das Support-Team, später direkt der Customer Service. Die Reaktion war freundlich und fair: Man bot mir ohne Bedingungen eine neue Uhr an, mit dem Wunsch, mich vom Produkt zu überzeugen. Aber genau darum geht es mir nicht. Die Uhr selbst halte ich grundsätzlich für durchdacht und in vielen Punkten überzeugend – gerade im Vergleich zu anderen Produkten auf dem Markt. Mein Kritikpunkt liegt nicht beim Gerät, wenn es technisch funktioniert, sondern beim Kundenservice. Lange Reaktionszeiten, unklare Kommunikation und fehlende Lösungsansätze haben bei mir den Eindruck hinterlassen, dass es sich um ein strukturelles Problem handelt. Und ich bin offenbar nicht der Einzige mit dieser Erfahrung – viele Rezensionen deuten in eine ähnliche Richtung. Ich stehe aktuell im Austausch mit Xplora, und meine konkrete Frage ist: Was genau erhofft sich Xplora davon, mir eine neue Uhr zu senden, wenn das eigentliche Problem nicht das Produkt, sondern der Support ist? Wie möchte man dieses strukturelle Thema künftig angehen? Interessanterweise ist die Kontaktfrequenz seit meiner Rezension und dem bislang nicht angenommenen Angebot sehr hoch – stets freundlich, mit dem Hinweis, dass man mir gerne eine neue Uhr zusenden würde. Genau diese Energie hätte ich mir allerdings bei der ursprünglichen Problemlösung gewünscht. Dort hätte eine vergleichbare Reaktionsbereitschaft möglicherweise schon früh zu einer zufriedenstellenden Lösung geführt. Mir geht es nicht um eine endlose Korrespondenz, sondern um eine nachhaltige Verbesserung. Denn das Produkt hat Potenzial – aber nur, wenn der Service im Problemfall ebenso zuverlässig funktioniert.
