Watch issues

AJS

I got this watch for my son on christmas and since then ive had plenty of issues with it. From audio messages not going through at all from both sides to the same issue with text messages and emojis to calling him and going straight to the answer machine because it says it's off when it's not. Now as of the beginning of February it's been nonstop glitching to where we can't even use it, then it says it's getting hot and eventually powers off because it drained the battery from glitching on and off. My son doesn't wear it now because of the problems with it and it getting hot on him while wearing it.
