We think the new Gizmo Watch 3 is the Goldilocks model thanks to better features and an average price. GizmoWatch 2 is an excellent GPS tracker and communication device for families on a budget, but the Disney Edition is overpriced compared to other kids’ smartwatches.

To make the Gizmo Watch 3, Verizon seems to have combined the best features of the other two GizmoWatches and sprinkled in a few extras. The best part is the price: it's $50 cheaper than the Disney Edition.
Here's what's unique about the Verizon Gizmo Watch 3:

We've always held a lukewarm stance on the Verizon GizmoWatch Disney Edition. Until the Gizmo Watch 3 was released, the Disney Edition was clearly the better GizmoWatch of the bunch and the best option for Verizon customers.
But its nearly $200 price tag makes it more expensive than other kids smartwatches, including those with advanced features like longer contact lists, voice-to-text or QWERTY keyboard, and a direct-to-911 option.
Now we're doubling down on our stance because the Gizmo Watch 3 offers more features at a better price.
You might choose the Disney Edition at this point to satisfy the Frozen fanatic in your life, but we're hard-pressed to find another reason to shell out the cash for this one.
It has no games—other than some Disney-related design options—and lacks a stopwatch, alarm, and timer.
That said, the Disney Edition is better than the GizmoWatch 2 because it has a camera and SOS button.
