I could not be more disappointed to find out how poorly this watch actually works. The main purpose of buying this watch was for its restrictions. I like that only people with the app can communicate with my child. If I wanted them to have an Apple Watch, I'd have bought one. But School Mode is a complete joke. Despite the app saying "Minimize distractions by disabling games as well as silencing calls and notifications", none of that actually works. Google support told me that it only disables the ability to make a call, but not turn off the games. The "call" button is disabled out on the phone, so my child can't make a call. Everything else remains on. And despite the messaging app saying "notifications are silenced" when I send a message to the watch, it is still giving a pop up notification when the message is received. When I spoke to Google support, they admitted that this is the actual functionality. I couldn't be more disappointed.
