LOK8U NUM8-BLACK Child Locator GPS Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First the website is not Apple OS X friendly.

I ignored all the internet feedback about the product to my irritation.It arrived with lousy documentation, missing parts, and activation experience that represents the worst in customer service.The website has multiple points of failure, and no where is there a place to tell you why it isn't working, or what setting will fix it.

I registered on the website but just after entering all the information the site hung up with pop up that said that it was completing the registration please wait.Well the computer waited the whole night to not avail.I logged off and then I couldn't log in into the website because the log in would kick me out.I called 22 later and spoke with a customer service who said I need to wait the full twenty four hours until the email arrives.I called back after the 24 hours but now customer service just says call back during business hours.Its 3:00 pm, what is the new definition of business hours?No one is available on Saturdays for product support.

Sixty hours after registering the product still no account activation email.After being told to wait for the email for more than three days, I finally log in from a windows xp computer and things went smoother. I was told to re-register, when I went to to do so it told me the device was already registered. So I logged in again, suddenly I found that despite no email the service was running.

Initially the device was only able give me position within a radius of 1500 meters or an area of 2.72919533 square miles to search.Then I moved the watch to a open parking lot updated the location and waited.In about five minutes, the map updated with a position within three feet of where the watch was located.

I will edit my review after a week of use by my son.

Product Description:
nu·m8 (pronounced new-mate) is the world's first and smallest GPS locator device specifically designed with children in mind. nu·m8is a watch that conceals GSM and GPS modules that enable you to locate your child, whenever you feel you need to know, via the internet or through your mobile phone (SMS/Text).

Give Your Kids Freedom... and You Peace of Mind

nu·m8 is the first GPS locator that actually locates your child not just the device through a unique and patented mechanism. Unlike other devices, nu·m8 can not be forgotten in a bag, lunchbox or jacket. Should the nu·m8 watch be removed unexpectedly, you will receive an email and / or SMS alert.
When you register your nu·m8, you indicate the mobile number and email address that it will respond to. Once nu·m8 is on your child's wrist and activated, you can locate them anytime in two ways: 1) Using the customer portal at Lok8u.com and view their current location on a map, OR 2) Receive their location via text message using your mobile phone.
You can also set pre-determined "Safe Zones" for your child to play in. Should they move out of this area you will receive an alert to inform you this has happened. nu·m8 utilizes GPS and GSM technology to locate your child indoors, outdoors, in the US as well as globally.
nu·m8 requires a monthly subscription to the Lok8u pinpoint services in order to send unlimited location requests--via the web or your mobile phone.

Know Where They Are
Simply connect to the lok8u customer portal from your PC or text message from your mobile phone to locate your child, anytime, anywhere.
Instant Alerts if Removed
If the strap of your child's nu·m8 is opened without your authority, an immediate alert is sent via SMS and email to warn you this has happened.
Set Your Own Boundaries
The "Safe Zone" feature allows you to easily set your own defined area by time and day. An immediate alert is sent via SMS and email to inform you if your child strays outside this area.
