With its rounded, square design, the GizmoWatch 2 looks a little like an Apple Watch, though a fair bit larger and with a blue or pink strap. Like the Apple Watch, it also comes with a bright, colorful, 1.4-inch screen. It is water-resistant, and the battery will last 2-4 days depending on usage.
The GizmoHub app is designed to be installed on a parent’s phone, and from there, they’ll be able to set up location alerts, to-do lists, step goals, “quiet times,” and more.
The design is a little rounded than that of the Ace 2 and that’s not all that’s new. The display is better than before. Although it’s still a monochrome POLED affair, it’s significantly brighter than the screen on the Ace 2, making it easier to read outdoors – it’s even just about readable on sunny days.
The second big change is that battery life has been boosted from “up to five days” to “up to eight days” between charges. Finally, you can now set up bedtime reminders to go with the sleep duration tracking the Ace 2 already had.
