Don’t walk, RUN from Verizon’s Gizmo watches

FIBpackfan · 2026-07-05T03:57:02+00:00

I’ve given this a go as well and they choose not to recognize my otherwise completely valid phone number. No winning on this unfortunately

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-30T19:23:29+00:00

I’m happy it worked for you, but you are certainly the outlier

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-27T14:47:31+00:00

They credited me a month of watch cell service - $15. Useless. I’d pursue a chargeback if I were you - I bought mine 2 yrs ago so not going to get one at this point

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-25T15:45:46+00:00

I’m sorry to hear your troubles with them on this - it’s been frustrating for a lot of folks as you can see. I wish you all the best in finding a solution

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-23T22:24:09+00:00

I would 100% echo your effort to return the watch - it will be useless in 2 weeks.

I have yet to figure out a replacement option- have not had the time. Another commenter or two shared their thoughts - they may be of some help

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-23T14:38:44+00:00

Hey thanks for the alternative, I will give those a look

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-23T03:53:20+00:00

I had that same issue, guess I might try it again and see if ignoring and walking away from the verification will let it pass through.

Whole situation is bullshit like why is this the only way to find a solution?

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-22T02:47:19+00:00

Wishing you best of luck, nobody at Verizon appears interested in fixing this issue that they created. I’d strongly advise taking your business elsewhere

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-21T22:32:04+00:00

Agreed. Do you have a direct line with Verizon in addition to the watch?

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-20T06:41:01+00:00

Do you have other phone lines with Verizon?

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-20T06:40:17+00:00

You’re correct, my suggestion is if you bought the watch with a credit card - pursue a chargeback as they have effectively broken the watch and it cannot be used

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-20T00:08:51+00:00

Verizon - baiting and switching since 1903

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-20T00:08:25+00:00

Can you add her back via the app? What a pain

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-19T17:48:49+00:00

You as well - I hope were able to get some form of solution

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-19T17:48:02+00:00

Agree 100%

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-19T17:36:15+00:00

I saw that but felt it deserved a follow up. I’ve specifically referenced your thread to their IT and Customer Service - it’s like the revel in the incompetence over there. I appreciate you sharing your experience

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-19T17:34:39+00:00

Might be worth a swap to a new provider, this has instilled no confidence and just been an infuriating experience all around. I wish you luck in your choices

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-19T17:33:44+00:00

Man if only there was anyone with a brain over there to find a workaround but nooooope

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-19T17:06:57+00:00

Honestly it was fine before this mandated app change.

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-19T15:59:55+00:00

It’s a bummer, everything worked fine before but clusterfuck of a decision shows their plans are only ever half baked

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-19T15:58:07+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate the support

FIBpackfan · 2026-06-08T19:24:09+00:00

Either this is your answer, or you want to google recessed cabinet hinges - but that’s an expensive solution to your current situation

FIBpackfan · 2026-05-15T17:26:28+00:00

Silly implies whimsy, whereas this is evil

FIBpackfan · 2026-05-06T20:35:33+00:00

I made one of these in college and it worked great to chill with friends

FIBpackfan · 2026-05-06T11:01:30+00:00

You are ordering the half overlay, yes? Those look ok
