How to choose a children’s smart watch? | Articles | Gadgets, gifts and accessories

When smart watch­es first appeared on the mar­ket, they instant­ly attract­ed every­one’s atten­tion due to their func­tion­al­i­ty and numer­ous use­ful and con­ve­nient fea­tures. How­ev­er, bet­ter orga­ni­za­tion of our dai­ly lives is far from the only suit­able appli­ca­tion for smart­watch­es. There­fore, the pop­u­lar­iza­tion of smart watch­es was fol­lowed by the appear­ance and pro­mo­tion of anoth­er mod­i­fi­ca­tion — chil­dren’s smart watch­es. These devices are no longer designed for our dai­ly tasks, but for what chil­dren need. For them, this is cer­tain­ly enter­tain­ment, but with the help of a smart watch you can ensure the safe­ty of the child while he is not at home.

Smart watch­es for kids can be equipped with many fea­tures. How­ev­er, first of all, before buy­ing, you need to decide which ones are impor­tant to you. Most watch­es include the func­tion­al­i­ty of both a watch and a sim­ple fit­ness track­er. That is, they will be able to count the steps and activ­i­ty dur­ing the day, as well as track the heart­beat and sleep of the child. This fea­ture is espe­cial­ly use­ful for par­ents who are con­cerned about the health of their baby.

If you want to keep track of where the child is, then you bet­ter pay atten­tion to mod­els that are equipped with a con­ve­nient way of GPS track­ing. For exam­ple, through the appli­ca­tion. For chil­dren who go to class­es or school alone, this fea­ture is also very use­ful. More­over, mod­ern chil­dren’s smart watch­es are usu­al­ly equipped with the abil­i­ty to send an SOS sig­nal to one of the num­bers in case some­thing hap­pens. With this func­tion, the child can eas­i­ly noti­fy you of prob­lems with a sin­gle but­ton.

And if you want your child to stay in touch, then it is bet­ter to look at a watch mod­el with a tele­phone mod­ule. Thus, even if the child has a phone and he lost it or can­not get to it, you can get through and find out what hap­pened.

Telephone

Before you buy a sep­a­rate smart­phone for your child, you may well lim­it your­self to buy­ing a smart watch. Many of the mod­els include a tele­phone mod­ule. Although its capa­bil­i­ties are sig­nif­i­cant­ly lim­it­ed com­pared to a full-fledged smart­phone, it per­forms the main fun­da­men­tal­ly impor­tant func­tions. Name­ly, the abil­i­ty to include up to 10 num­bers for feed­back in the mem­o­ry of the watch, that is, the child will be able to call you and oth­er rel­a­tives direct­ly using the watch. And also you can write down 3 num­bers to send SOS sig­nal.

Pro­like PLSW300BL watch­es are equipped with such func­tion­al­i­ty. They are also avail­able in sev­er­al bright col­ors that kids will love and will go with any style of cloth­ing.

GPS and tracking

When you are at work, you do not have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to con­stant­ly mon­i­tor the where­abouts of the child. And this means that he can go for a walk and not warn his par­ents. To avoid this, and also to make sure that the child has reached school or class­es, smart­watch­es for chil­dren are equipped with a GPS track­er. Thanks to syn­chro­niza­tion with a spe­cial appli­ca­tion for your smart­phone, you can track where the child is while the watch is on him.

In addi­tion, you can track oth­er indi­ca­tors from the watch, such as the health of the child. The heart rate and activ­i­ty sen­sor helps you stay in the loop.

The SW300 watch from Pro­like will pro­vide you with just such an oppor­tu­ni­ty, among oth­ers. The SeTrack­er appli­ca­tion will give you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to observe the loca­tion direct­ly on the map.

Sure­ly, like adults, chil­dren also want to take pho­tos on devices, and smart­watch­es can even pro­vide such an oppor­tu­ni­ty. Even if it seems to you that the child does not need it at all, you can keep him busy for a while and dis­tract him from the demands of buy­ing a smart­phone. So there are still some advan­tages for you in such a func­tion of smart watch­es. The Pro­like SW200 lets you take pho­tos with­out the need of a smart­phone thanks to the handy built-in cam­era. And besides, the watch has a clas­sic round shape of the dial, thanks to which it looks on the hand like a com­plete­ly ordi­nary watch for chil­dren. In addi­tion, they are equipped with a built-in micro­phone and speak­er.

Other features

For some chil­dren, it’s not the secu­ri­ty and com­mu­ni­ca­tion fea­tures that are more impor­tant, but the styl­ish appear­ance and many addi­tion­al fea­tures of the device. It is for such chil­dren that the PLSW90OR smart watch mod­el was cre­at­ed. The watch is equipped with a large 1.3‑inch back­lit IPS touch screen, just like on adult mod­els.

In addi­tion to the screen, the watch is equipped with the abil­i­ty to install its own SIM card to make and answer calls. Spe­cial sen­sors are respon­si­ble for mon­i­tor­ing the sleep and phys­i­cal activ­i­ty of the child. This is espe­cial­ly use­ful, giv­en that the cor­rect dai­ly rou­tine is fun­da­men­tal­ly impor­tant for chil­dren.

And of course, the child will be pleased with the bright col­ors of the watch and their styl­ish design.

Smart­watch­es for chil­dren are not at all an unnec­es­sary toy that will even­tu­al­ly turn out to be use­less. On the con­trary, it is a use­ful and styl­ish device that will allow you to stay aware of what is hap­pen­ing with the child, where he goes and what he does. And besides, chil­dren love these things, and it is they who teach them respon­si­bil­i­ty. After all, once you need to learn how to han­dle your own devices.
