Yes, the watch has an SOS function. This is activated by pressing the button on the side for three seconds. This informs emergency contacts by text message, including the location of the watch.

Unfortunately, we only have one version in the shop. I don't have any information about the other one. According to the manufacturer, there are no different versions of the watch. Therefore, I assume that a different version was made for a different country of distribution.
Here is the link to the manufacturer's website, where there is only one model: https://www.tcl.com/global...

You can also make normal calls👍 video call only works if you have downloaded the app. LG
Yes, this smartwatch has a SIM slot.
No, that is possible, you may be able to see the last location on the map when the watch still had battery.
If the watch is not visible somewhere, it is hardly possible to find it again unless someone charges the watch.
Good luck!

No, the information available does not mention a remote listening function for this watch. It has 4G video calling, a microphone and speaker for voice communication, but no remote or discreet listening without interaction. If you need more details, check out the TCL Connect app or our community.

You need a nano SIM card with a classic mobile phone contract that supports 4G. A data-only subscription is not sufficient, as the watch requires a full mobile phone tariff to make calls and send messages.

According to my research, the MT42X watch can still be used for normal phone calls after the switch to VoLTE because it already supports VoLTE. The new MT48 model is not yet available in Switzerland and there is currently no confirmed date for when it will be available.

No, you cannot simply insert the SIM card from your Natelabo into the watch if it is a multi-device or data SIM. The watch needs a classic SIM card with its own phone number and a fully-fledged mobile phone tariff that supports voice and data services.

According to the manufacturer, the battery life of the MT42X is up to seven days, but in practice it is more like 3-4 days with normal use. For the MT46X, it is reported that the battery only lasts about one day, which is significantly shorter. There is no precise information on the battery life of the MT40X, but it is an older model with presumably similar or shorter battery life.
Newer models such as the MT42X offer improved functions such as 4G connectivity, GPS tracking and a more user-friendly app without hidden annual subscriptions. The MT46X has GPS and voice capabilities, but apparently has a shorter battery life and fewer additional features than the MT42X. The MT40X is the oldest model and has fewer modern features.
A plan is not mandatory; a prepaid SIM card with a mobile phone contract is sufficient to use the watch for calls, messages and GPS. The app and the watch work with a SIM card without the need for an additional subscription.
The watch is suitable for calls and messages at home via WLAN. GPS requires data, especially when live tracking is activated, which puts a greater strain on the battery. The amount of data depends on the use of the localisation function, with occasional use the amount of data is moderate.
Summary:
- MT42X: up to 7 days battery (realistically 3-4 days), 4G, GPS, no plan required, child-friendly app
- MT46X: GPS, voice function, battery approx. 1 day, fewer features than MT42X
- MT40X: older model, fewer features, exact battery life unknown
- Prepaid SIM is sufficient, plan not absolutely necessary
- GPS consumes data, WLAN can be used at home for calls and messages
This information is based on user reports and tests of the models.

The GPS positioning on the Movetime Family Watch MT42X cannot be fully utilised without a SIM card because the watch requires a SIM card to connect to the internet and communicate for tracking and telephony functions. Without a SIM card, the watch cannot operate these features properly. Unlike some devices that may offer limited GPS functionality without a SIM, this watch needs a full mobile phone subscription with a SIM card to use GPS tracking effectively.
Therefore, it is not possible to use GPS positioning on this watch without inserting a SIM card, as the device depends on cellular connectivity for real-time location tracking.

With every telephone provider
Then the devices are not connected to the smartphone. Or the smartphone is too far away.
Unfortunately, that's the problem with the watch, it doesn't coordinate well with the app. You have to keep checking it. We have stopped using it.

If the watch is connected via Wi-Fi, e.g. at home, no data volume is needed. I recommend booking an unlimited data subscription anyway. Costs about 10/month. There is usually a discount in the first few years.
