Octopus Visual Schedule Watch

Octopus Watch Charging Base

We love this watch! This is a visual schedule watch that you can program through an app on your phone, sync, and then pictures will pop up and the watch will vibrate on the child's wrist to let them know it is time to do something.

I have lunch and bathroom breaks at Jerry's school scheduled, as well as chores and self-care skills that he needs to do at home. It's great because Jerry doesn't need to read to use the watch. The pictures are pretty basic, but you can pay for more detailed photos or the option to upload and use your own. You can add as many tasks as you want, including the times of each class at school to help them transition better.

It's great for learning and keeping routines. It fosters independence and responsibility and even tracks physical activity. At the end of the day we just put it on the charging base and let it charge until the next morning. It has become a part of Jeremiah's morning routine to put the watch one when he gets dressed everyday.

The watch is for ages 3 and up, but we did find the band a bit small for Jerry's wrist. Thankfully, we have a friend at church who makes leather bracelets and commissioned him to make a new band for the watch that would not cover the charging link on the back so it would still be able to connect to the charging station. He also put these great name plates on either side in case Jeremiah ever lost or misplaced the watch so it would hopefully be returned. The band snaps closed.

Love this new technology for our kiddos!
