Features

With the market getting flooded with new brand names, all competing with similar and variable features, it is best to take an overall look at the most common features that a kids' smart watch should contain.

Family Members

Some phones will allow you to store more numbers than others, but having a mix of family members that can be voice, text and video calls is essential.

Childcare

Various smart watch kids wear today come with an SOS feature and health and child monitoring features.

SOS Buttons

Again there are variations, but you can apply several numbers to family members assigned to an SOS feature.

This is a feel-good factor in families where both parents work, and children will get home from school either with friends or alone. The SOS button can activate in an emergency.

Some kids smart watch functions will automatically call all these family members allocated to the SOS on loop until someone picks up. This can be continuous, so it doesn't stop and can be either phone or video with some models.

Video Calls and Checking in Undercover

Many of the kids' watches now have a video feature for video calling. For many parents, just a visual to know your child is fine provides the necessary comfort.

However, now on some new ranges coming to the market, you can discretely check in on them without calling them or notifying them. Usually, you will find this under the parental control feature. Usually, it would be called 'Sound Guardian'.

This might not appeal to everyone but can be especially effective for parents who believe their child is being bullied at school. Whereby you can listen at break-times, lunchtime and on the way home.

Health Monitoring Features

Health features are common across many ranges. This kind of information can be helpful if you are an active family.

The most common features included are:

  • Heart Rate
  • Blood Pressure
  • Body Temperature
  • Blood Oxygen

So this can be a helpful feature, and as part of these packages, you can also get:

  • Distance Covered Every Day
  • Calories Burned
  • Sleep Quality Tracking

Gaming

A smart watch for kids should not be confused with 'Gaming Smartwatches'. Gaming watches have fewer features already mentioned and concentrate primarily on gaming.

A smart watch for boys and girls can be flexible with games, and many come with a few as standard, such as puzzles and Tetris-like games, which try to stimulate a child's brain.

School

Of course, as with mobile phones, these can be a distraction, so you must assess before buying.

In certain situations at school, they could be used to cheat in class or on a test, so it's always helpful to ask your school their stance and advise your child on how to use their smartwatch accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best smartwatch for a child?

Everything depends on why you want your child to have a smartwatch. Suppose you are genuinely concerned about them either at school or involved in many outdoor after-school activities and are looking for extra peace of mind. In that case, they can be a great asset.

Age also plays a role in what design, features and basic useability you would be looking for. Remember, we are here to give you the best advice.

At what age should kids get a smartwatch?

There's no set age when 'they should get a smartwatch'. But the general market is targeting 5-12-year-olds.

They are a far cheaper alternative to a new mobile phone or a tablet. They are easier to ensure that your children are not accessing certain things on the internet as you can use a range of parental supervision controls.

Should kids have smartwatches?

Children in Western countries are becoming younger and younger with mobile phones and tablets today, which are commonplace.

With a smartwatch for kids, you have more control over what it can and can't do. Also, there are features on new ranges that give you more real-time access to your child when they are not under your supervision than a mobile or tablet would do.

So maybe this question can be more geared towards parents and their needs.

What is the best smartwatch for a 12-year-old?

Most 12-year-olds will be reasonably active, so looking for Fitness Tracking features is suitable for children around that age.

At 12, they are looking for a broader range of features. So games will need to be considered; some act like a smartphone and have access to the App Store to download games.

At this age it is about variety and gadgets, ask us for more information on what range would be best suited.
