Gabb Watch 3e

A kids' 4G watch with calls, texts, GPS location and an SOS button that calls a parent; no camera, internet browser or social media.

Makes calls on 0 of 17 networks

4G calling: 0 from $229.99

SIM and network: needs a Gabb Cellular Plan. "Yes, you must select a phone plan to activate Gabb Watch 3e", $12.99, $14.99 or $17.99 a month (gabb.com/gabb-watch). Activation is through Gabb's portal: "No matter where you purchased your watch, head to our activation portal" (Gabb help article). Gabb's pages say only "the nation's most reliable network" and "LTE coverage on America's best network" without naming it, so no network is recorded. SOS: "The SOS button contacts your designated parent or guardian only. It does not call 911." Parent app: needed. "Step 2: Pair your Gabb Watch 3e to the MyGabb app ... make sure that your (parent's) smartphone has Bluetooth enabled" (Gabb help article).
