SnapWatch: The Snappy Happy Way To Tell Time – Review

amomentwithfranca · 21 April 2021 · 32 Comments

There is now a new cool way to tell the time for our kids and it is called SnapWatch. This watch is not only useful but super fun too! If your little ones like snap bands, then they will love SnapWatch. I also have great news.

Ad-Gifted: We received two SnapWatches for the purpose of this review

About SnapWatch

SnapWatch Ltd is s a UK company based in Somerset and they are the developers of the super cool SnapWatch which is an exciting new wearable specifically designed for kids.

The clever SnapWatch timepiece has integrated components that allows the whole band to bend and roll – and the bi-stable arrangement enables the SnapWatch display to be viewed in straight mode or wrapped around the wrist.

It incorporates a silicone tube with a bi-stable metal band running through the middle – the flexible PCB LED display floats on top and connects to the control unit at the end of the band

SnapWatch Features

  • Flexible LED time display
  • 12/24 hr time
    Date/Month/Seconds mode
  • 2 Button control
  • No buckle
  • No Software
  • No App required
  • One size fits all
  • Soft-touch silicone
  • Replaceable battery – lasts up to 2 years
  • Recyclable
  • Shockproof
  • Splashproof
  • CE approved
  • Dimensions
  • 185mm x 25mm x 8mm

How SnapWatch Works

It is very easy to use. You only slap the band around your arm and it will go around your wrist. Then you only press the buttons to light up the LED screen. It looks super cool when it is on.

Designs

The SnapWatch comes in 6 different designs (Dragons, Unicorns, Astronauts, Sharkies, Icy Black and spring Purple) perfect for boys and girls. These designs are now available in the UK and in Europe. They are aiming to expand into Asia and the US markets too.

My girls chose two different designs. Bella got Spring Purple and Sienna got Unicorns. They are both purple but Sienna’s SnapWatch comes with a Unicorn design. Now that Bella is older (almost 11 years old) she prefers plain colours while Sienna went for more colourful colours.

How To Tell The Time

Wearing SnapWatch throughout the day encourages children to ‘check the time’ which is the main feature of this timepiece. KS2 requires children to learn both the 12 and 24hr clock and to be able to read, write and convert the time. So, SnapWatch helps with that.

It has two buttons to set up the device. The information on how to set it up is displayed in the box. You set the first hour in either 12 or 24-hour format, then minutes, then the day and finally the year.

Price & Where To Buy A SnapWatch

SnapWatch is available online at www.snapwatch.co.uk and it has an RRP at £14.99 including free P&P.

Our Thoughts

The girls really like their SnapWatch. As I mentioned above, it is a really cool and fun way to tell the time.

It looks great when the LED display is on. It also lasts for a few seconds as it turns itself off to save battery life which is great. Although it was hard to take photos when it was on, lol. I had to be very quick!

The SnapWatch could be perfect for a gift too!

What do you think of SnapWatch? What feature do you like the most and which design will you choose for your kids? 

*Disclosure: We received two SnapWatches for the purpose of this review. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
