Review
The Kidizoom Smartwatch DX3 is a fun and educational watch that engages children with its unique features and functions.
Dual cameras
With the included front-facing and side-view cameras, kids can take selfies with a variety of fun filters and play augmented reality games. When taking photos or videos, children can use the watch’s touchscreen to switch between different effects. The watch also has a flashlight and a camera flash. It also comes with a 1.44-inch color touchscreen and 256 MB of internal memory. There’s even an option to record your voice and add silly vocal effects. Swipe the touchscreen to see more options if you want to create a custom clock face display.
Pairing
Children can also play multiplayer games, Treasure Hunt, Find the Diamonds, and Tic-Tac-Toe with friends who also own a DX3. If they don’t have a friend to play with, they can play against a robot. Kids can send pre-programmed messages while connected to their friends.
Fun with Learning
The Time Master “app” on the watch allows kids to practice both analog and digital time telling. Children can adjust the minutes and hours on both clocks, and a friendly owl will read the time to them.
Basic smartwatch functionalities
Kids can use the calculator, flashlight, and Daily Reminders app in addition to the other features. At the end of the day, kids can charge it with the included plug or store it safely in the package’s top.
Built-in rechargeable battery
The Kidizoom Smartwatch dx3 is powered by an internal rechargeable battery. There is also a USB charging cable included. The battery life varies depending on how children use it. A full charge will provide approximately one day’s worth of battery life under heavy usage. The battery will last two weeks if used sparingly. According to VTech, typical usage gets about 2-3 days of battery life.
Parental controls
Parental game controls and time limits are included in the Kidizoom smartwatch dx3. Parents can also set reminders and alarms for their children. When it comes time to study, they can switch to School Mode for a watch-only experience.
Not waterproof
While the watch is splash-proof, it is not recommended that it be submerged under running water or in water. It should also not be worn in the shower, bath, or while swimming.
