The mainstream smartwatch market offers everything from budget-friendly options to premium high-end smartwatches. Similarly, there is also a niche segment within the overall smartwatches category aimed at kids. These connected watches are a lot different from regular smartwatches. From design to features, a kid’s smartwatch takes a different approach both in terms of appeal and price.
Here are five smartwatches we thought are perfect for kids.
This smartwatch comes with a SIM card slot with support for 4G LTE connectivity and even has a camera with support for video calling natively on the smartwatch. On top of that, it even has an SOS button that can quickly send alerts to parents with details like current location. Parents can download the NoiseFit Buddy app on their Android and iOS devices to configure and monitor the smartwatch remotely.
The WatchOut-made kids’ smartwatch offers anti-theft technology and even has support for voice and video calls over a 4G LTE network. It has a colourful build with a circular display along with a 2 MP camera. The uniqueness of this product is that it comes with a take-off sensor, which will automatically send a notification to parents when the watch is removed from the hand.
This is an affordable kids’ smartwatch with support for native calling. However, it is only compatible with a 2G network and misses out on the video calling feature. The watch has built-in GPS and it can share real-time location with the parents with 90-meter accuracy and also supports real-time tracking. It features a skin-friendly strap and is also water resistant, making it a great companion for kids.
The Fitbit Ace 3 is a fitness tracker, specially designed for kids that offers eight days of battery life, sleep tracking, and plenty of parental control features via the Fitbit app. This fitness tracker helps children to develop healthy habits and offers virtual badges when a kid completes a task. Similarly, it also comes with soft and colourful silicon straps with a kid-friendly design.
Apple Watch SE (Gen 2) is currently the most affordable smartwatch from Apple, and this one can be configured to be a kid-friendly smartwatch as it offers plenty of parental control features. However, you need an iPhone to pair the Apple Watch. You can also consider a slightly expensive cellular variant of the Apple Watch for always staying connected.
