I like the idea of having the 2 way radio on my wrist but I found it too thick and bulky. So its not exactly comfortable wearing it around. Also this (like any other 2 way radios) is not good for theme parks since everyone has a radio (cellphone still works best). This works for hiking or maybe inside a mall. They have a new version X3X out but I'm not sure if that is thinner. I also have a Motorola Talkabout Radio. It can call my motorola but my motorola can't call it back. I havent had any luck reaching Xact. If you call their tech support phone you will just get routed with all voicemessages, their email also bounces back. I got 4 and will return 2 of them and just wait for the next version.

If people would actually look at what they're buying, they would realize that a license is ONLY required for the GMRS frequencies (15-22) the first 14 frequencies are FRS which require no license. This is true of ALL consumer GMRS/FRS radios.

We got an X2X for our son last summer and tuned one of our family radios to the same frequency. Our son could take off around the neighborhood on his bike or his electric scooter and we could check in with him any time, call him home for supper, etc. He could buzz home to ask if it was OK to stop at a friends' house or let us know where he was. It gave him a lot of freedom and gave us great peace of mind at the same time.

We didn't have any problem with breakage, it was holding up just fine until the boy lost it. I think we'll buy him another one next summer!

I was pleased with the quality of the watch and the cool features, but you probably wont be carrying this thing around your office or school. It IS very bulky-- and you even have to charge it up(with an AC adapter provided.)

This walkie talkie is great. It is well worth the price of 25$. Most walkie talkies cost about 40. You can contact anyone with a walkie talkie with frequencies. This watch has a scan feature so you can see who is on any channel. The range is ok, at 1.5 miles. It is great to wear, and it has Vox. (you can transmit a message by just talking and you dont need to press the talk button). I bought one of these and one x3x. The x3x is the same, it is just a different color and it is a little less bulky. I have great fun with this.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY. The products are poor, the repairs are poorer and the customer service is non existant. They will not refund anything, even if your product dies twice in the first 9 weeks.

Please dont buy this item. The reasons are:-
1) I bought 4 pieces of which i returned 2 coz the battery was dead on arrival, multiple charging didnt help.
2) The XACT company's customer support was the worst, they said they wont send me replacement batteries, later they agreed to replace one if i bought one. This happenned the next day of purchase...!!!
3) Then i sent them back to Amazon and i got my money refunded, minus shipping charges. I lost it for nothing.
4) Most importantly, the product is not good at all. the range is less than 300ft and nowhere near comparable to miles.

My advice, dont be fooled...

It seems never can be charged fully after 20 hours charging. The charging indicator always display low level. Even if I don't use it for a week, I need to recharge it again for 12+ hours.

Any one have same problem?

Otherwise it's fun to use.

WORKS better than Audiovox. Has a great soldering job on the inside. And just great all around!! it has GREAT RANGE!! Even in the woods!!

Works just like a standard walkie talkie without the risk of loss!! Yes there bulky a little, but hey better to be able to FEEL the thing so you know you haven't lost it!!

Very nice item for being a watch and radio!!

this watch has one use: to look cool. that is all. The range is probably about half a mile, but thats better than my mororla 2 mile walkie talkie. My friend and I both got one. we live about a mile a part, and as I was walking over, I tried to contact him the whole way. It didn't work until I was very close.
Both of the wristbands of the watches broke, ITS A HORRIBLE DESIGN. We were able to fix them by puting in a paper clip.

The watch is to bulky to wear W/O looking like a total moron. WHAT A FAT WATCH.
the battery is good though
