Smart watches that can be useful for both children and their parents

All sorts of smart devices are now very much. A variety of the same "smart-hours" just rolls over. European, American, Chinese manufacturers (oh, these Chinese) every week represent some kind of novelty. Adults who are not strangers to technology and who have children sometimes think about purchasing a similar gadget for their child. And not just for fun, not at all.

The fact is that smart watches can be useful for children, providing them with multimedia features, educational programs and the ability to connect with parents. The device helps the child get comfortable in the world of digital technology. Parents also need these gadgets, since many smart children's watches work as a GPS tracker, which allows you to always be aware of where the child is now. Plus, children's watches are often equipped with an alarm button that sends an SOS signal to pre-registered numbers and email addresses if the child is in trouble.

So the child and his parents will always know how actively the child spent her day. If desired, the child can send messages and emoji.

Coordinates are transmitted both outside the building (thanks to the GPS module) and inside (thanks to the GPS module). The developers claim that the watch is equipped with a universal SIM-card, which can be used in any country.

International communication is carried out through a partnership of watch manufacturers with the mobile operator Vodafone. So, it will be possible to get information about the child’s whereabouts even if he is abroad (rest, training, etc.).

The LG KizON and GizmoPal 2

Age group: from 4 years old



LG has long been producing smart watches, but for adults. Not so long ago, the company decided to release a device for children. And so The LG KizON appeared. This watch is for kids, not for almost teenagers, so you should not expect too much from them.

The main function of the device is communication. So, The LG KizON has a GPS and Wi-Fi module, thanks to which you can track the location of your favorite offspring, as well as communicate with it at the right time. Children can also contact their parents by pressing the button, which gives a voice call to the specified number.



Another GizmoPal 2 model is a more advanced model, with a touch screen and more features. There is also a voice call function, a GPS module, the ability to send messages and emoji.

Caref GPS Phone Watch

Age group: from 4 years old



This device can also serve as a reliable means of communication with the child. At the clock, the operator's SIM card is already integrated with a certain tariff plan. Parents can track the location of their children in real time.

The watch is equipped with a 0.94 ″ OLED display.

If there is such a need, you can call the clock in the "quiet call". This will allow you to listen to what is happening around the child without answering the call. As in a number of previous models, there is an opportunity to set a security zone. When the child leaves the pre-set bounds, the watch will send the corresponding notification to the parent.


You can buy Caref GPS Phone Watch instead of a smartphone that your child risks losing. The developers have provided several color options, including green, pink, yellow, blue, purple, black.

Hereo

Age group: from 3 years



The name of the model of this watch reflects their essence. They are designed to enable parents to track the location of their children. There are GPS and GSM modules here, so the location of the kids is displayed both by GPS coordinates and by the coordinates of cell towers.

The clock has a built-in SIM-card. Unfortunately, there is no possibility of making voice calls here, the GSM module serves only to track the child’s location.

HereO watch is waterproof, so you can not be afraid that the child will drown them. There is also a warning function to remove the clock, which is not in most other similar devices. If the child wants to steal the clock from his hand, the device sends a message to his parents.

VTech Kidizoom DX

Age group: from 4 to 9



Vtech is probably the largest technology company specializing in the production of various devices for children. These are not only interactive toys, but also tablets with smart watches. One of the most advanced models of such watches is Vtech.

Very young children should not buy such watches, they are unlikely to understand all the functions that may be useful to them. As for the possibilities, they are quite extensive. Among other characteristics of the watch is worth mentioning 1.4-inch touchscreen color display. The company provides 20 different dials for lovers of customization. There is no GPS, no two-way communication, it is rather a means of familiarizing children with wearable devices. We gave the gadget as an example to show what else, besides the GPS watch, can offer the market of wearable devices to children and parents.

For example, there is a camera with which you can record video or take photos. Includes voice recorder and three educational games. USB port provides the ability to transfer photos and videos to a computer. Plus, the watch is not afraid of splashing water. True, the company does not recommend going into a shower with them, but they are not afraid of rain for sure.

In the watch there is also a calendar and a calculator, you can use games for fun.

So what for whom to take? As mentioned, there are quite a lot of smart watches on the market. But their functions are more or less similar. We would recommend to buy such gadgets for both very young children, and already for the slightly grown up “flowers of life”. The basic functions of the devices for the younger generation will allow parents to track the location of children. More advanced watches for older guys can be used instead of a smartphone, which can be lost, with a wrist device with similar functions. It will be much more difficult to lose him.
