FOR AROUND THE HOUSE OR AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD THIS LITTLE THING WORKS GREAT CAN KEEP TRACK OF THE KIDS WITHOUT THE COST OF A CELL PHONE. THE RANGE IS LIMITED BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO FIND YOUR KID CAN'T BEAT IT.I WOULD RECOMMEND IT FOR PARENTS WHO KIDS, LIKE MINE, SEEM TO ROAM.IT SEEMS A LITTLE BETTER IN BULKINESS THEN X2X AND MY DAUGHTER DOES NOT MINE WEARING IT. SHE LIKES IT BETTER THAN THE HAND HELD FRS/GMRS RADIO SHE WAS USING
AND SHE WON'T LOOSE IT.ALL THE KIDS AROUND WANT ONE,SEEMS TO BE MADE EXTREMELY WELL TOO. THANK YOU XACT

This is the perfect radio to strap onto you kids when you need to be able to recall them, or just make sure they are doing fine. We use it around the block and camping. Most of the time our higher power radios can reach them far away, but these can not always transmit back. At least they know it is time to come home. These have a great 'COOLNESS' factor and all of the kids want to try it. Have used them for about 2 months and they are still working, that is pretty good. Battery life has been better than I expected, but once it is drained, there is no spare and you are done for the day. Sound quality is also better than I expected out of a small unit, but it is still not as clear as a good Motorola. The kids will have LOTS of fun!

I purchased 3 of these watches to keep track of my sons in the neighborhood. They are not small but rather quite bulky (especially on a 7 year old). The antennea that flips up looks as though it could be easily broken. If my sons attempted to throw a baseball with this watch on I'd be surprised if it stayed on the wrist. My main complaint though is the reception. They worked fine in and around the house but as soon as you walked around the corner the reception faded and within a 1/4 of a mile there was no reception whatasoever.

this looked like a good idea to keep people on our bike rides together if we got separated. However, as soon as they were put on the team captains we all started to laugh. I would never wear this in public. It would be a cool idea if you were alone and wanted someone to talk to (which we did) but the speakers on mine stopped working after two weeks. Thinks twice before buying.

I don't mean that the batteries run low, but rather they stop taking a charge.

This is by far the greatest walkie-talkie ever made! It even surpasses regular ones! I thought the range would be just ok. Once you see the range with the tiny little antenna, you will freak! The range is awesome. If you use the GMRS frequencies without a license, you cannot speak, only hear. But channels 1-14 (the majority) are FRS, which is free. Buy this, trust me!!!!!
