Gizmo watch step counter stops working

We have had by daughter's Gizmo2 replaced three times now thinking this step counter issue was a hardware issue.  Each new watch would work for some duration (a day, perhaps a week) and then stop.  Sometimes it would just be stuck on 0 for the day and other times it might count some random number of steps and stop.  To be sure, it is the watch that stops counting and not just the Gizmo app.  The last replacement worked for three weeks before it stated having the problem.  Appears that powering the watch off and back on seems to fix it for some random duration.  Please advise!

Both my kids have a gizmo watch and I’m experiencing the same issue.

I am having the same issue. Step counter worked perfectly first few weeks then it doesn't update after a few 100 steps. 

Another issue is the tracking doesn't work, it doesn't update. This beats the whole purpose of this phone. It's a deal breaker. This phone is a piece of garbage. I wish read these forums before purchasing this.

Yup we’ve had this same issue over and over.  Would NEVER recommend these watches to anyone.   It has been a nightmare.  Still need to replace one we just had because the step counter isn’t working.   So disappointing 😕

We have the exact same problem. Multiple watches, turning the feature and phone on and off. It's extremely disappointing for my children who can't understand why their birthday presents don't work. Step counter is basically their favorite feature (in theory.)
