Families are choosing from Cosmo over Fitbit. Here's why:

Camera

JrTrack 5 comes with a photo & video camera for capturing & sharing memories. It's a kid's (and parent's) favorite feature - and one you'll have to go without on the Gabb watch 3e as their watch has no camera at all.

Better texting

JrTrack allows your child to send you photos and videos, and allows you to see the text messages they're sending to others in the parent dashboard. Gabb leaves you in the dark.

Better protection

Looking to insure your watch? With Cosmo you'll pay $2.99/mo. and get a free replacement, instead of Gabb's $4.99/mo. and $40 replacements. Plus, our coverage includes theft and loss, while Gabb's does not.

911 Capable

With Cosmo, your kids are always protected. Only Cosmo offers SafeCORE - a four-front safety system including the 911 calling capabilities, SOS Alerts, GPS SafeZones, and  a trusted contact list.
