(More customer reviews)First of all, I'm a bit of a gadget geek and work in the IT industry, so I think I'm a pretty good judge of quality when it comes to electronics.
We recently moved into what most would call a great neighborhood.One downside to our new house is that it doesn't have a fenced back yard for our kids to play in.One day our 2 1/2 yr. old son managed to get out of the house and wandered down to the street corner one house down - he likes to go for walks.Jinny thought he was out helping me in the garage.I thought he was inside. Some 'nice' neighbors brought him back (thanks!) then proceeded to call the cops and report us for child neglect (Thanks for nothing!!!) Whatever happened to watching out for neighbors????They obviously don't have small kids.The police were very understanding and assured us they were only following up on the call and not going to arrest us.Kudos to the police for doing a great job.
So, now my wife is terrified to let the kids out of her sight.We bought this device as a backup, not the primary way to keep track of the kids, until we can get a fence installed.
After convincing him it was a nice watch to wear, we proceeded to test it.
Inside the house it picked up the signal and indicated direction like it's advertised.When we went outside, as soon as our son walked more than 15 feet away, the receiver couldn't pick up the signal, and that was with clear unobstructed site.The device claims you can set an out of range warning signal for up to 98 ft.It doesn't even work for the shortest range setting.
If you decide to take your chances, there are also a couple of other minor issues to consider.The wrist band is too easy for kids to take off.Our son had it off in less than a minute the first time we put it on him.Second, this is more an annoyance, there's no way to disable the 'panic button' on the watch.
Don't waste your money!It's a great idea, but the device doesn't work!Hope this saves someone else some time and money.
