Smartwatches for kids: TOP 5 children's smartwatches

Children's watch ELARI FixiTime Light is decorated in the style of favorite characters from the animated series "Fixies". Images of cartoon characters are applied to the strap of the wearable gadget and appear in the device menu interface.

The model received a color touch screen with a diagonal size of 1.4 inches and a resolution of 128x128 pixels. The main screen of the watch displays the time and date, and in the device menu the functions of calls to predefined numbers, exchange of short voice messages, an alarm clock and a mathematical game with three gradations of difficulty are available. As a load, the device was equipped with a simple 0.3 MP camera - you can’t shoot photo masterpieces on it, but parents can roughly estimate the situation around the child from the picture from the camera.

The model transforms into a full-fledged smart gadget, provided that a SIM card is installed. From the parent mobile application ELARI SafeFamily, you can control the location of the child and his movements, indicating safe perimeter zones, conduct hidden audio listening, and receive notifications when the watch is removed from the wrist. Note that the device often has problems with accurate geolocation - in dense urban areas there are errors in determining the location of a child.

The clock is powered by a built-in 480 mAh rechargeable battery. The charge in it lasts for one to one and a half days. So you have to charge the watch every day. A pleasant moment in the design of the model is the moisture protection of the case in accordance with the requirements of the IP67 standard. It is highly not recommended to wash the watch under running water, but they will survive short-term immersions under water.

Amigo GO004 is a budget smartwatch aimed at a children's audience. The model is designed to track the activity of the child and supports parental control functions.

The gadget has got a color TFT-screen with touch control. Diagonally, the display measures 1.44 inches. A 2 MP camera lens is placed on the side face of the watch case, and an LED flashlight is adjacent to it, which will help illuminate the road in the dark or the keyhole of the front door. A spare strap is also included in the standard package of the model.

The main functionality of children's smartwatches is tied to parental control options. In particular, parents can track the child's movements according to GPS satellites and signals from cell towers, establish safe geographical zones, and make secret calls to the clock. Calls to the gadget are accepted only from pre-loaded contacts - no unknown numbers will reach the child. The watch also has the ability to exchange voice messages.

Amigo GO004 has a 400 mAh battery inside. In normal use, its charge is enough for 2-3 days of battery life hours. The battery is charged by means of an adapter with a convenient magnetic connector. Of the complaints about the model, incorrect recognition of the SIM card is most often noted. However, if you activate the card in your smartphone in advance and choose a tariff plan with Internet access, problems usually come to naught.

Bright and stylish smartwatch Canyon CNE-KW41 is presented on the shelves of electronics stores in pink girly colors, blue boys color and unisex yellow coloring.

On the wrist of a child, the gadget acts as a watch with a color screen, a means of voice communication with parents, and simply a fashion accessory in a modern way. Against the background of "classmates" in the category of children's smartwatches , the model compares favorably with the presence of a built-in audio player and seven pre-installed educational games. The watch also has a calendar, calculator, alarm clock and stopwatch.

From a parental point of view , the watch is able to transmit the geolocation of the child to the associated mobile application, control its movements within the established safe perimeter zone, and provide the possibility of two-way voice communication. Of course, to make and receive calls to the gadget, you will need to insert a SIM card. In emergency situations, the child can quickly contact the parents by pressing the SOS button.

The model is assembled in a plastic case with protection against dust and moisture IP67. The front panel of the smartwatch is occupied by a 1.6-inch diagonal color IPS screen. The watch was equipped with an integrated camera with a resolution of 0.3 MP. On a full charge of a 680 mAh battery, up to two days of battery life of a wearable gadget are declared. A convenient magnetic connector is used to charge the battery, which eliminates problems with premature failure of the power connector. Smartwatches from Canyon will appeal to both kids and their parents.

Smartwatch Gelius Pro Kid GP-PK006 in patriotic yellow and blue colors will fit both boys and girls. The model is produced at the facilities of the Ukrainian electronics brand Gelius.

A 1.4-inch IPS screen with touch control support is assigned to the role of the gadget's dial. The image is shown on the display in color, its maximum resolution is 240x240 pixels. The watch menu has a calculator, pedometer, alarm clock, casual game. And in the upper right corner above the screen you can see the "peephole" of a 2 MP camera, which can be used for taking pictures and video calls with parents. The watch also supports voice communication and short messaging.

The full functionality of children's smartwatches is revealed when a nanoSIM SIM card is installed. You need to activate it in advance in your smartphone and remove the PIN code entry. You will need to install the SeTracker mobile application on the parent gadget. Through the program, you can track the location of the child, set safe perimeter zones, discreetly call the clock in order to use the wiretapping function. The watch draws location information from GPS, GSM and Wi-Fi sensors. And if in open space the accuracy of determination is quite high, then when the child is in enclosed spaces, the detection error increases significantly.

Three emergency numbers can be entered into the smartwatch's memory. If you need to urgently contact the parents, the child just needs to hold down the side SOS button for a couple of seconds - the gadget will start calling the entered numbers one by one until someone picks up the phone. As for autonomy, the duration of the watch on a single battery charge depends on the set intervals for updating the location. The more often the gadget sends geolocation, the less the battery “lives” in it. On average, you need to charge the battery once every one to two days. Another argument in favor of the model is the waterproof housing according to the IP67 standard.

The Aura A4 4G watch can be worn on the wrist and used as a desktop watch - the gadget's transforming case is vertically placed on a sprawling strap.

The model is made in a rectangular form factor with a square screen measuring 1.44-inch diagonally. The picture on the watch display is broadcast in color, and the display also supports touch control. Above the screen, a bright spot is the lens of the built-in camera, which can take pictures and is used for video calls. Well, in the smartwatch menu, as many as 7 mathematical games are preinstalled so that the child does not get bored.

Video calls are by no means the only way for a child to communicate with their parents. You can also call pre-set numbers from the watch and exchange voice messages. Even more functions open up for parents: secure perimeter zones are set from the associated SeTracker application, the geolocation of the child is accurately tracked, and the option of hidden wiretapping is available. Secret calls from the parent smartphone do not appear on the smartwatch.

Traditional smartwatch options in the form of a pedometer and calories burned counter are also available in the Aura A4 4G. And the model also supports the function of unlocking the screen by face, using the aforementioned camera for this. The watch looks great on a child's wrist, works correctly in terms of determining geolocation, voice and video calls, which is what you want to see from a high-quality gadget to the delight of children and for the benefit of parental peace of mind.
