An intelligent smartwatch for kids can help keep them connected to both parents and friends through texting, calling, fitness tracking and features funny apps like sounds and games to keep children occupied throughout their day.
There are a variety of smartwatches for kids available today, such as the top-rated Vtech Kidizoom Smartwatch DX2, recently reviewed by us and XPLORA XGO 2. Both feature calendar, stopwatch, timer, alarm clock as well as two built-in cameras to capture pictures with friends – perfect for taking hilarious selfies! Both even allow them to add frames for an extra enjoyment when taking selfies!
Advanced kids’ smartwatches offer GPS location tracking, step counter, iHeartRadio Family streaming (which our kid tester loved!) and an SOS button allowing emergency contacts to call with just the touch of a button. Deciding whether or not to give one is ultimately your decision and should reflect both their age and needs.
A few tips in advance
You as parents should consider how the smartwatch will function on your child’s phone and what features may appeal most. Many children’s watches require approval by parents before downloads can occur; others can even limit which apps can be installed. Other parental controls include programmable no-call times and school mode which will disable its ringtone to ensure no disruptions during class.
Some kids’ watches offer advanced features, like two-way calling and emergency SOS alerting, to keep parents up to date about the location and well-being of their children. For instance, T-Mobile’s GPS-enabled SyncUP watch lets parents contact their kids via pre-written texts or voice messages and can notify them in case of accidents or natural disasters nearby.
You should also consider both the upfront cost and monthly charges when making your decision on which watch model to buy for your kids. These costs can quickly add up, so be mindful of what amount you are willing to spend before making a choice.
