Features of Gabb Watch 3e System
The Gabb Watch 3e is known for its parent controls including GPS tracking, Safe Zones, parent-managed contacts, and Focus Mode.
Manage parental controls in the MyGabb app. Learn more about the parental controls offered on the MyGabb app.
📍GPS Tracking:
Keep track of where your child is. GPS location automatically updates every 15 minutes, or you can refresh your child’s location to get a real-time update.
🏡 Safe Zones:
Get notified on your smartphone when your child enters or leaves a preset area. The notification will come from the MyGabb app on your smartphone.
When your child enters or leaves a Safe Zone, you’ll get updated anytime between one second and 15 minutes, depending on how long ago you received the last location update. You can also click the Locate button in the MyGabb app if you want a quicker location update.
🔒 Parent-managed contacts:
Choose who your child can call or text. Add up to 100 contacts to your child’s contact list.
🔎 Focus Mode:
Silence notifications and prevent your child from using apps during specified time frames. Great for school or for after-school activities.
🗒️ Texting:
We offer eight different keyboards on the Gabb Watch 3e including preset messages, speech-to-text, emojis, and audio messaging. You can add up to 20 preset messages in the MyGabb app.
🧩 Non-addicting games:
The Gabb Watch 3e comes with two games: Gabb Go and Mimic by Gabb. These games are designed to keep kids off the screen. We set daily limits on Gabb Watch 3e games.
Gabb Go: Gabb Go lets your child care for a virtual pet, including a dog, octopus, axolotl, and unicorn. You can also use Gabb Go to create chores or tasks, and set a daily step goal for your child. This allows your child to earn coins which they use to buy pet actions, or even more pets!
Learn more about Gabb Go.
Mimic by Gabb: Mimic by Gabb tests your child’s memory by having them repeat a pattern selected by the game. Mimic by Gabb will select a pattern of on-screen buttons, & your child will try to repeat the pattern by tapping the buttons in the correct order.
