Very Big.......2007-07-01

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.

Poor Reception.......2004-10-27

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.

Absolute Perfection!!!!!.......2004-06-28

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!!!!!

Works great for its intended use.......2004-06-25

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!

WORKS GREAT- LOOKS COOL- AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT.......2004-04-24

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

I should have gone to you rather than the site posted on Ya hoo.There is no comparison. Fast safe service is what I now know to be your way of doing things. Thank You

Spk Failure - Mic jack - Charger Issue poor quality control.......2004-10-08

SPEAKER FAILURES: Turns out the speaker - mic - charger jack is defective on many of these units. After a few charger plug insertions the contact that cuts out the speaker when using a headset fails to make a good connection when the charger plug is removed. Appears to be a class manufacturing problem... Jack contacts are accesible from battery compartment. Press a fine sewing needle point into the small loop contact (use magnifying glass)to make the loop buldge a little more and make a better connection with the other contact. The speaker will then start working again. Problem solved

A neat "toy," but still needs a bit more to be truly useful!.......2004-09-23

These were on sale a while back, so I bought a pair.

Since they include GMRS, I made the stupid assumption that they also had sub channels... wrong!

Also, the VOX feature (voice activated transmit)... takes about 5 or 6 seconds to actually engage. This boils down to the fact that you need to start making noise 5 or 6 seconds before you say anything that will be heard on the other end.

The sport club that I belong to, makes heavy use of the sub channels (there are so many people using FRS type radios now... you REALLY shouldn't bother buying anything that doesn't have sub channels).

From the reviews I've read, these guys have come a LONG way from their early models. However, without the sub channels, and with such a delay in the VOX feature... it's a neat "toy," but they still have a bit more to go before they become truly useful.
