@Nikki we had this on our Gabb Watch 3 but haven't had an issue since we did the newest update to the watch.

Hi @Nikki
@HollyBowman22 is right! The most recent update on the Gabb Watch 3 helps to resolve this issue. Here are the steps to update your Gabb Watch 3 firmware:
- Connect to WiFi
- Place watch on charger. Watch must be charged to at least 30% before updating
- Open the Check for Updates app (shown below)
- Tap the
updatebutton. The watch will automatically restart when the update is done.
If your device is frozen on the black screen, please follow these troubleshooting steps first:
- On the MyGabb App: Unpair the watch
- Select the “Devices” tab
- Select “Profile” on the watch you need to unpair
- Scroll to the bottom of the profile and select “Remove Device”
- Select “Remove and Reset”
- On the Watch: Factory Reset the watch
- Place the watch on the charger
- Press the back button (top right button) 10 times fast
- An image will appear on the watch
- Select the checkmark on the watch
- The watch will power off, factory reset, then power back on when it’s finished
- Pair back to the watch.
Hope this helps!

How do you do the update? On my app on my phone it says update available but it doesn't allow me to click on it. I can't do it off the watch because the screen is black

My daughter’s screen goes black randomly when using the watch. This makes it unusable. We are unable to do a factory reset or an update. Has anyone else had this issue? The watch is about 6 months old. We’ve had so many problems with the Gabb watch 3 that we didn’t have with the 2. The ability to make phone calls isn’t worth it with all the problems.
