Strapped Kids Smart Watch
25 reviews
DO NOT PURCHASE The product purchased was a Strapped™ Kids Smart Watch. The watch is defective because it does not recognise a compatible and functioning Telstra prepaid nano SIM card, meaning it cannot perform its core advertised functionality. I have made extensive attempts to resolve this matter directly with the merchant. I followed all… Read more
troubleshooting instructions provided, supplied video evidence demonstrating the issue, and confirmed the SIM card was working correctly by testing it in another children's smart watch. Despite this, the merchant has not provided a repair, replacement or refund.
As at the date of this review, the watch remains unusable, the fault remains unresolved, and the merchant has not provided a repair, replacement or refund despite repeated requests.
Item did not work on arrival and customer service was not up to standard. Took many emails for an outcome on the matter. Show details
This company does not replace broken parts within a few months of purchase and continues to disregard consumer law in NZ. Despite a number of email exchanges they kept referring to their 30 day exchange policy which was irrelevant to the issue & the law. Show details
ZERO STARS - Do NOT buy!!!!!!! Total scam, took over 3 months of me emailing every single day to get a refund that still hasn't cleared after the watch never arrived!!!!!! I reported to consumer affairs! Show details
Zero stars! Absolutely appalling customer service. There’s no phone number to call customer service. Just an email address and then you have to wait for days if not weeks for a response. I bought a watch in September 2025 and by March 2026 it stopped working. No responsibility for the faulty product from Strapped smartwatches. Only to be told… Read more
it was out of the 30 day return policy. Their service is useless and their lack of understanding for a faulty product is terrible. Definitely do not recommended.
I am beyond disappointed with both the product and the "service" provided by Strapped. I purchased two watches for my sons, expecting identical products, only to find they arrived with completely different operating systems. To make matters worse, one unit (the blue model) has been plagued with technical faults, constantly getting stuck in flight… Read more
mode, which renders the GPS and cellular functions totally useless. For a device marketed on safety and connectivity, this is a fundamental failure.
Despite multiple attempts to resolve this under the Consumer Guarantees Act, Strapped has completely ghosted me. I have sent numerous emails and tried reaching out via Instagram DMs and Facebook comments—all of which have been ignored.
It is clear they are happy to take your money but have no interest in standing behind their product or fulfilling their legal obligations when things go wrong. Do yourself a favor and buy from a company that actually communicates with its customers. Completely unprofessional.
DO NOT BUY ! They don’t even deserve 1 star! Worst experience ever! Purchased 2 one had great function similar to a smart watch the other was a cheaper version (even though they both the same but different colours) emailed more than 4 times requesting an exchange no reply. Now the good functioning watch isn’t able to charge with either charger we… Read more
have an unable to use. This is disgusting, it’s not even cheap! Now needing to fork out more money on a better one which we probably should have in the first place.
SCAM Tracking is pathetic. Watch is extremely slow. most functions dont work. App is a joke. All round terrible product would be better just to burn your money. Show details
COMPLETE Garbage. Ordered two. One works. One doesn't. Company, clearly in China takes weeks to respond and refuses to send a replacement or refund or fix the item.
No signal, GPS is at least 20kms off and one way listening and video doesn’t not work. Refused refund for faulty product, relied on 30-day policy contrary to ACL Show details
Worst watch ever to buy they have stuffed me around for nearly 2 months I have asked for refund and the return details witch they have never sent Do not buy it is worst kids watch to buy Show details
- +1
Zero stars! Fraudulent company. Item never worked, sim wouldn’t connect. Very disappointed and out of $175!!! Not sure how to get money back as PayPal refused and no answer from company. Which I had of known this, I feel so st^pid! What a rip off. I just want my money back. Show details
Can't rate it 0 the item never worked, I disputed it and I sent it back and now im out 139 for something that was probably purchased of bloody temu for $3 !!! Not only that but paypal supports their scamming business Show details
Follow-up · Well i posted it back to the address they gave me, they still didn't give the money back. They responded to email with stuff which was not at all true and i was able to respond with screenshots, they kept saying they will look into it further after I called them out on their incorrect responses, they have stopped responding. I would recommend to… Read more

Sim won’t connect, watch completely different interface to what is advertised, even if it did work I doubt it would be child friendly. No response to messages asking for return information. Complete rip off, don’t go near it. Show details
Bought smart watch for son I told returned in 30 days full refund thay stopped replying.. to me.the.battery don't even last 1 day Show details
This product is rubbish. The instruction on the manual on how to fit the SIM card is different from the video on their site. The SIM does not work and when I emailed them they did not reply and there is no contact number! Show details
The worst service going around, they never reply, device is terrible broken promises and wasted money Show details
To sum up the company.. With a refund policy that’s non compliant with Australian consumer law, I’m genuinely shocked they’re legally allowed to advertise. Facebook should have banned them. Show details
Not even worth the one star! My order never arrived. Non existent customer support. Terrible experience and I definitely do NOT recommend! Show details
Terrible quality. I bought my son this watch in September, by November the plastic frame around the screen broke off. My son is careful with his things and always took the watch off for sport or rough play. I emailed strapped.com and they told me they only warrant them for 30 days. The website says 30 days money back guarantee, not 30 day… Read more
warranty. It also falsely advertises that it is "not easily damaged". Its all lies, terrible quality product and even worse after service. Do not purchase.
This company is a scam! I purchased the watch in September, after trying 2 different types of SIMS the watch still would not connect to mobile data making it unusable. They then sent me a replacement watch which was completely different and in another language, so again unusable. Do not buy this watch!!!!!!
Dont waste your money, I bought 2 for Christmas presents and they're rubbish, they don't recognise the sim, I've wasted money on 2 types of sims, had to put credit on both brands first wasted hours trying to get it working and still nothing. Its a fraudulent company. I feel st>pid for buying them! If you look closer at the facebook adds you can tell its a scam. :-( Show details

Substandard, complete knock off. Some of the text titles are even spelt incorrectly. Unable to connect to mobile network at all and battery usage is excessive requiring multiple recharged per day. Don't waste your money. Only replied when I submitted a PayPal report and then wouldn't try and correct any of the issues. Show details
Terrible. After a difficult set up the watch would not call me or i to the watch. When my child was at friends the watch was not available to call, incorrect gps detail. Got sent a new one . I asked for a refund but they sent a new one. The watch sends alerts that my child has left 2 safe zones…. She was at home in bed. It constantly makes sounds at 6am. Don’t buy this watch. I tried to email them again but no one responds. Show details
Fraudulent company! I purchased this product for my son. After quite some time setting it up, we finally had it working. The step counter was highly inaccurate and delayed. The messaging and call functionalities were quite effective, until the screen just stopped working. I contacted Strapped to request a replacement, as per their refund policy on… Read more
their website, and have never received a reply. I also purchased the additional two year full replacement warranty. Other than an unresponsive email contact and a web form, there is no way to contact this company, and their Facebook page has disappeared. This watch was over $160 on a half price sale - I wish I simply stuck with a more reliable brand such as Garmin. What a waste of time and money.
