If you hit phone, you can immediately contact any of the predefined 50 contacts that you have and immediately it will start ringing that contact it’s rigging now the beauty of it is the privacy aspect.
So if your child is at school or out and about – and you don’t want all your numbers being given away to the other friends or to any other party, you can see that there is no way of seeing what the phone numbers are. So the privacy aspect is really good. All the phone numbers and all the details are in the smartphone app, and only one parent can manage everything.

You can watch so let’s watch the video and again you have the same options: wow that’s loud.
That is a very loud speaker. Wasn’T, expecting that and it’s very clear as well. Let’S go through the smartphone app. So when you open the explorer app you’ll get a welcome page, it will tell you your annual steps and it will give you a whole bunch of offers and stuff that you can join if you tap on the next page. This is where you’re going to see the location full address, of where the watch is right now so obviously i’m just going to cover that address up. If you tap on that address, it will give you a map, pinpoint accuracy of exactly where the watch is. So you can trace the exact location of of the watch and this works via sim card. So as long as you’ve got a valid sim card inside the watch, you’ll be able to trace it now there’s the name of my child, so i just called it sun. So immediately you have a choice of sending a message and – and you can view the history of that or you can initiate a phone call so as soon as you tap any of those buttons you’re ready to go, you can call your child’s watch straight away. You can set contacts, i’ve got only one contact and i will cover that phone number for obvious reasons, but you can add pre defined contacts. I think you can add up to 50 pre defined contacts, so your child doesn’t have to remember any phone numbers.
He just has to tap on the name that he recognizes, so you can have mom dad sister brother grandma uncle, so on so forth. You can have all 50 add all the contacts for him. It’S all managed from your smartphone, so it makes things easier. You’Ve got an alarm school mode, so when you activate school mode, there’ll be no noises or anything on the watch and therefore no distractions in class, and you can set score mode anytime. You, like the child, cannot remove score mode over. Here is a step counter. So you can see the total steps taken all right, we’re, going to quick, send a quick message and you can see the message has appeared. So you swipe up for notifications and you can see message from chiggs saying hi now now i show you what the child can do. The child can then tap an emoji and send it or send a voice message: hi, dad i’m, totally fine, okay, so that’s the two ways your child can respond, emoji or voice the child doesn’t even have to type, so it just makes things more fun and easy. Now now the parent gets the message you can see an emoji and a voice. Note so we’re going to hear the voice. Note hi dad i’m totally fine, so that should give you an idea of how it works here. Your child can earn various badges. Now this watch does have a bill in pedimeter to count your child steps which are converted into explorer coins, so x coins.
So if your child takes 1 000 steps, he gets one x coin. You can then spend those x coins in the explorer go play platform where your child can change them for game time or exciting new products. So a very unique and motivational concept to get your child active. You just have to join any one of these campaigns that your child will be interested in, so there you have it guys that was the explorer x5. Now this is a very interesting product. It is a full smartwatch running full android 7.1, with a completely simple ui. On top, i really like the privacy aspect. Phone numbers and personal info cannot be obtained from the watch, but a child can easily send voice messages or make a phone call to any of the trusted contacts on the list now. The most important part is the phone call feature and i’m very impressed to see that the speaker quality is so good and also nice and loud watch is overall durable in build quality. You have gorilla glass protection on the front. It will certainly survive a few knocks, but you also have ip68 rating, so no worries about water damage. Now the step counter and earning coins to exchange for new products is a great way to get your child active, and you also get a nice bright, large display, which is good for your child’s eyes. In the long run. Now, once you install the sim card and get it all set up, you will notice how accurate the gps tracking is.
It will give you the full address with postcode of the location of your child. Now you can set boundaries and safe zones. So if your child exits a boundary, you will be alerted, the boundary can be anything from your garden, school, local parks, etc. Now i personally don’t have kids yet, but if i did, there is no doubt in my mind this would be technically my child’s first smartphone. I can contact them anytime, i like and keep track of their whereabouts, and they can do the same from the watch. They have over 50 contacts available to them. Should they need it now, the concept of the product is great, but the implementation is also very good. The software just works and it’s so simple to use, and you can tell they took their time, creating these features, including the security and privacy aspects and making it all work together. Bottom line peace of mind is a rare thing to have, but this company found a way and created something that just works as it should. If you always wanted a safe way to look out for your kids whilst they’re not at home, then this watch will give you that peace of mind, and for that reason i would say this is an absolute winning product. All three of these watches are going to my three wild nephews. This product seems perfect for them, so can’t wait to set it up and see how they get on.
So that was the explorer x5 play people and with that being said, i will leave the links in the description, so you guys can check this product out. Meanwhile, thank you so much for watching and i hope you all have a brilliant day.t9-9-RJz01g
