Disable App on Gizmo 3

[ahughes704]

Good evening,,

I'm curious if there is any way to disable the calculator feature for the Gizmo Watch 3. My 5th grader has severe allergies, so she wears her watch to school but she's been using the calculator feature when she shouldn't be in class.

Another option, if disabling cannot happen, would it be possible to restrict the watch to location and calling only thus disabling all other functionality?

Thanks in advance,

Jeana

Are there any visual instructions for this?  I have a gizmo 3 adventure, and I cannot figure out how to find this in the settings.

Maybe it's under the GizmoHub app on your phone?  I don't know either.  The support page for the Gizmo 3 Adventure only has activation instructions and some general troubleshooting.

JadedRN, there are no additional instructions. Please refer to the Gizmo Watch Support page for troubleshooting and the user guide.
