Smartwatches have gained popularity as fashionable wearable technology that significantly simplifies our daily life. And now your kid can have a hand (and a wrist) in these entertaining accessories. More than ever before, children nowadays are growing up with technology.
Kids’ smartwatches are less powerful and more affordable than adult models because they are made with younger age groups in mind. They are stuffed with games and apps to keep your kids busy and engaged, and some even have built-in cameras for taking selfies.
TickTalk 4
The TickTalk 4’s GPS tracking, geofencing, and SOS button reduce parental anxiety. Additionally, it provides entertainment for children by streaming music or stories via iHeart Radio Family.

vívofit jr. 3
A waterproof fitness tracker that encourages your child to exercise is the Garmin vívofit jr. 3. It records their active minutes, steps, and sleep patterns to support the development of healthy habits. Using their own fitness trackers, parents can set daily activity goals, personalize an “in case of emergency” screen with their contact information, and take part in fitness competitions.
These are a few pocket-sized (or smaller) devices that kids can wear or carry for parents who mostly want to track a child’s whereabouts and prefer a completely screen-free option. We have tested several of these gadgets.
