Smartwatches not only keep your kids entertained with fun apps and nifty features but safe at the same time. We looked at the best kids smartwatches specifically designed for busy children, tweens, and teens. 

Why this is A-MUST-HAVE? 

Kids' smartwatches are more than just a fun way for your child to tell the time. Imagine having a tiny computer on your child’s wrist – available day and night – that allows them to record their fitness levels, set timers or alarms, receive SMS notifications, make emergency calls, take photographs, shoot videos, play games, and even listen to their favorite music? Even better, imagine having a device that allows you, as the parent, to know exactly where your child is at any given time. That’s because most kids smartwatches these days have a built-in tracking device. There are countless smartwatches on the market in a rainbow of colors and with specialized bands and patterns allowing your child to personalize their smartwatch to their unique style. Most are easy to set up, durable, affordable, and water-resistant, making them a worthwhile investment.

How To Choose A Smartwatch Your Kids Will Love

For younger children, look for a smartwatch that has a large touchscreen interface and bright icons to make navigating the features easy. Smartwatches with a built-in GPS (Global Position System) are especially useful for parents who worry about their children’s movements and want to know where their kids are at all times. GPS tracking is also great if your child is going on a school trip, or a sleepover at a friend. Choosing a smartwatch with LBS technology (location-based services) gives you even more peace of mind as it still allows tracking if GPS and WiFi signals aren’t available. When making your purchase keep in mind that smartwatches that use a 4G signal must be paired with a SIM card to enable the GPS and communication functions. Watches held in solid plastic shells that are IP67 waterproof (meaning they can survive a dunking in up to 1 meter of water) have a longer life span and are therefore better quality for your money. Smartwatches equipped with a pedometer record the number of steps your child has walked so you can ensure they’re keeping active, while watches with a sleep monitor can monitor whether your child is getting enough shut-eye. Battery life is also an important factor to consider when choosing a smartwatch. You don’t want to invest in a gadget that will require a battery change every month so look for smartwatches that guarantee at least a year of constant wearing.
