The Gadget Both Parents And Kids Love

Why Parents Are Choosing The Verizon Gizmo Watch
Presented By Verizon
Why Parents Are Choosing The Verizon Gizmo Watch

"I just need to know they're okay." Every parent has thought this at some point — whether it's making sure their kids got to school on time, helping them learn to do things on their own, or just feeling connected without handing them a smartphone.

But for these parents and experts, the Verizon Gizmo Watch 3 made knowing that their kids are okay—and more—a little easier. Here are just some of the things they're saying:

Less Stress Getting Out The Door

"My kids can get overwhelmed with even the simplest tasks that seem to come easy for everyone else. Setting up reminders for what needs to be done in the morning brings a lot of ease to the day and can set the tone for a smooth transition into bedtime."— Beatrice Moise, cognitive specialist and parent

Easy Text Check-ins For Kid + Parent Comfort

"The first text was, 'I'm here,' and it was just very comforting. He used it the way he was supposed to."— Jessica Bonikowske, mother of three

More Freedom, With Smart Limits

"We can control things from the app; I can control if it's going to ring or be on silent mode."— Ray Pastore, Ph.D., professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington

Because it's not just about checking in—it's also about helping them feel ready for what's next.
