smartwatches that incorporate GPS are a great way to help keep your child safe and give you, as a parent, peace of mind. The GPS function can typically be used to locate your child if they become lost, to monitor the route they\u2019ve taken (to school, for example), and to check they\u2019ve not strayed into a \u2018no-go\u2019 zone.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we review our pick of the five best smartwatches for kids with GPS, paying particular attention to how this element functions, as well as its effectiveness and ease of use.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"11\"><a id=\"readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/findmykids.org\/blog\/en\/pingo-track-smartwatch-for-kids\">Pingo Track Smartwatch<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42724\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/02\/Pingo-Track3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"464\" \/><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 35.5556px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Price:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">$99.99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Age:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">5\u201312<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Max. battery life:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">100 h<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Waterproof:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">Yes, IP67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2800<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The <a  rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0B3N4JBG9?maas=maas_adg_F59BF28D93C8E6FFA041B887ED0F65B3_afap_abs&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=fmk1blog-20&amp;linkId=157326ccaddcce59da5b3aff3c0ed0b9&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\"\">Pingo Track from Findmykids<\/a> is our favorite kids&#8217; smartwatch with a GPS tracking function. Designed for kids from ages five to twelve and available in either blue or pink, kids will love this fun and functional smartwatch that features a touchscreen, two built-in cameras, changeable screen savers, and an alarm clock.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The smartwatch is comfortable and lightweight with a durable strap, and it\u2019s water-resistant, too, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so it can<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more than handle the rough and tumble of kids\u2019 daily lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s the safety features that really make this kid&#8217;s smartwatch stand out from the crowd. As well as <strong>real-time location tracking<\/strong> (meaning you\u2019ll know where your child is at all times), there\u2019s the<strong> safe-zone feature<\/strong> that allows you to set out-of-bounds areas for your kids, and know if they transgress them.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>SOS button <\/strong>and <strong>calling mode<\/strong> mean that you can always get in touch with your child in an emergency, even when they\u2019re at school or with friends, and the <strong>route history checker<\/strong> allows you to check, for example, that your child headed straight to the classroom after leaving home\u2014rather than taking a detour to the store! Plus, they can activate the <strong>location audio<\/strong> if needed so that you can hear what\u2019s going on around them in real-time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"highlight_PastelGreen\">Parents love the Pingo Track because it was designed by other parents, just like them! As such, you\u2019ll find no games, advertising, social media, or other distractions on this kid&#8217;s smartwatch, so your child can concentrate on their homework, classwork, or spending time with their friends in the real world.<\/p>\n<p>The Pingo Track is powered by a long-life inbuilt lithium polymer battery, which provides an operating time of around twenty-four hours when in active mode, so it doesn\u2019t need charging too frequently. It\u2019s important to note that this smartwatch only supports AT&amp;T and T-Mobile Nano SIM cards that have prepaid mobile phone plans to connect to the internet, not for wearable devices.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42725\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/02\/Pingo-Track.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"464\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>video call function<\/strong> of the Pingo Track works without wifi, so it will function out on the street, for example, where there is a good signal. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to other watches, the video calling features on this watch are some of the best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"highlight_PastelBlue\">When <a  rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0B3N4JBG9?maas=maas_adg_F59BF28D93C8E6FFA041B887ED0F65B3_afap_abs&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=fmk1blog-20&amp;linkId=157326ccaddcce59da5b3aff3c0ed0b9&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\"\">you buy this kid&#8217;s smartwatch<\/a>, you\u2019ll also get access to a free family subscription to the <a href=\"https:\/\/findmykids.onelink.me\/xY6s?pid=content_team&amp;c=en&amp;af_channel=blog&amp;af_adset=article&amp;af_ad=kids-smart-watch&amp;af_sub1=cta\">Findmykids app<\/a> for an unlimited number of family members.

A <strong>historical route record<\/strong> is also kept, so you can check where your kid has been or the route they\u2019ve taken.<\/p>\n<p>The GPS tracker is accurate to five to ten meters, one hundred to 1,000 meters on LBS, and ten to two hundred meters on wifi. Kids can be located using the in-app map, and then, if you wish, you can either call or text them, just as you would with a cell phone.<\/p>\n<p>The long-life gel polymer battery (which can be charged magnetically) lasts for up to seventy-two hours on standby, and the smartwatch emits low battery warnings when it\u2019s starting to run low on charge. The remote shutdown feature is another handy tool that can help preserve the battery life of this device.

It\u2019s also dustproof, meaning the screen stays clearer for longer. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This watch is made out of some seriously heavy-duty materials!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This kid&#8217;s smartwatch is available in blue, pink, and black, and there are two SIM plans to choose from, both of which offer unlimited calls and data. The Xplora Connect Saver plan represents the best value option, which involves paying an upfront payment for a twelve-month contract, while the popular Xplora Connect Flex plan is paid on a monthly basis with no minimum term.<\/p>\n<p>The Xplora X5 Play, when fitted with a SIM card, is a phone as well as a smartwatch\u2014kids can use it to <strong>make phone calls and receive calls<\/strong> to and from up to fifty approved contacts\u2014and text messages, including emojis, can be displayed, too. Plus, the 2MP <strong>camera<\/strong> on this smartwatch allows your child to capture images throughout the day, to keep you on top of what they\u2019re up to, or to store in its gallery, which can hold an impressive 1,000 photos. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, video calling is not typically supported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"highlight_PastelGreen\">One of the key features of the X5 Play is access to the <strong>Goplay platform<\/strong>, designed to motivate kids to be more active day to day. Goplay is the world\u2019s first platform that combines entertainment with physical activity, helping to get children moving. The idea behind Goplay is to reward kids for physical activity and encourage them to be aware of the amount of time they\u2019re spending in front of a screen in order to develop healthy habits.<\/p>\n<p>The monthly adventures are a fun way to get kids off the couch and moving\u2014your child will love the opportunity to win great prizes and earn rewards, such as new watch faces, ringtones, articles, coloring books, and lots more. Each month, platform users walk an impressive 100 billion steps, with Xplora kids walking, on average, 2,500 more steps a day than their counterparts, proving just how effective the platform is.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The long-life battery lasts for around seventy-two hours when the device is on standby and has a continuous call time of about five hours. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the smartphone itself, you\u2019ll also receive a charging cable, and your child will get 150 Xplora coins (linked to the Goplay platform) to get them started on their active mission!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>GPS tracking and safe zones<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0with history route options<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Access to innovative Goplay platform<\/li>\n<li>Long-life battery<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to keep your child safe<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>Kids can receive text messages via this device, which parents may not prefer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"14\">JrTrack 2SE Smartwatch<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43166\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/03\/JrTrack-2-SE-Kids-Smart-Watch.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"342\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 35.5556px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Price:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 85%;\">$49.99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Age:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">5\u201312<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Max. battery life:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">36 h<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Waterproof:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">Yes, IP67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2800<\/span><br \/>\nDesigned for kids aged from five to twelve years old, the JrTrack 4G kids smartwatch from Cosmo offers <strong>GPS location tracking<\/strong>, an <strong>SOS mode,<\/strong> and 911 calls, as well as the ability for parents to set and adjust <strong>safe zones<\/strong>. The latter is a way to designate areas or places you\u2019d prefer your kids not visit\u2014if they do stray into these areas, you\u2019ll receive an alert on your device. Like some of the other kids&#8217; smartwatches reviewed above, children aren\u2019t able to access the internet or social media on the JrTrack.<\/p>\n<p>The reliable three-point verification GPS tracking system has been designed to give parents the ultimate peace of mind. You can set customized update intervals to keep track of where your child is and what they may be up to\u2014and when you want to see their exact location, simply hit the refresh button.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose from three strap colors (pink, blue, or black) so you can pick the shade that best suits your child\u2019s preference. The velcro strap, made from premium comfort materials, is convenient, comfortable, and fully adjustable, meaning this smartwatch can grow with your child. As well as all the safety features, this smartphone also incorporates a <strong>front-facing camera<\/strong> and an integrated <strong>step counter, <\/strong>which active kids will love, and supports up to <strong>ten pre-approved contacts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This smartwatch boasts lots of parental control features\u2014it can be controlled on your cell phone via the companion Mission Control app. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mission Control app <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allows you to, for example, adjust settings and <\/span><b>monitor your child\u2019s route<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Parents also love the fact that the JrTrack smartwatch features a <\/span><b>school mode<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, meaning that kids won\u2019t be distracted in class. It\u2019s durable, too, and is water and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sweat-resistant<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kids can use their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">devices<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to set activity goals, take photos, set reminders and alarms, and send <\/span><b>text and voice messages<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Children will like being able to choose from a range of ringtones and wallpapers to personalize their smartwatch to their preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to keep your child safe but let them look good doing it, this is one of the best options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"highlight_PastelGreen\">It\u2019s important to note, however, that the JrTrack smartwatch needs a Cosmo membership cellular service plan on the provider\u2019s network. The watch comes with a pre-installed SIM plan, and there are a number of plans to choose from. All the plans offer unlimited talk, text, and data, and the service can be set up quickly and easily.

Like all the kids&#8217; smartwatches with GPS that we\u2019ve reviewed here, the Imoo Z1 makes it super easy to locate your child. Simply open the Imoo parent app on your phone and navigate to the function that allows you to view your child\u2019s <strong>location in real-time<\/strong>. The parent app is free to download and use and can be found on the App Store and Google Play Store.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>auto-answer function<\/strong>, which can be accessed via the companion parent app, is another way to help keep your kids safe when they\u2019re out and about. If this function is activated and you call your child, and there is no answer, the watch will automatically connect to the parent&#8217;s iPhone or Android device.<\/p>\n<p>The accurate and reliable GPS function works via satellite, wifi, blurred, and A-GPS location, with the device automatically selecting the best positioning technique according to the environment. You can turn on <strong>quiet mode<\/strong> to ensure that your kid concentrates in class, while the <strong>Stranger Rejection function<\/strong> helps to make sure that someone <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who\u2019s<\/span> not a trusted contact can\u2019t get in touch with them.<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re looking for a kid&#8217;s smartwatch that\u2019ll also encourage your child to get more active, then the Imoo Z1 ticks this box, too.

The standby mode is also very efficient, helping to extend the battery life still further.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering about durability? The Imoo Z1 has gone through over 160 tests to check its reliability, safety, and more. These tests included a drop test, dielectric strength test, toxic elements test, and many more, all of which were undertaken before the smartwatch was launched.

While it\u2019s not specifically designed for children, it has lots of fun features that older kids (and parents!) will love. The watch boasts a wide display for better viewing and a screen that offers extreme sharpness and clarity\u2014it\u2019s bright and easy to read in all environments. Choose this watch in either gold, silver, or the excitingly named \u2018space gray\u2019!<\/p>\n<p>What fans of this Apple Watch particularly love is that it\u2019s one of the best watches-as-a-phone on the market right now. As well as enabling <strong>voice calls and video messaging,<\/strong> etc., data and apps from the smartwatch are shared seamlessly with the phone, and vice versa, for ultimate convenience and ease of use.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And talking about convenience, kids will appreciate <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the strap on the Apple Watch SE<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a new design from Apple known as the Solo Loop). Made from silicone and both comfortable and lightweight, it stretches over the hand to put on and remove, doing away with the need for fiddly buckles. There are various sizes of Solo Loop available, so you can pick the one that\u2019ll fit your kid best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Active older kids will appreciate the <\/span><b>fitness features<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the Apple Watch SE. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Workouts app allows the user to add a wide range of exercise types, such as running, walking, yoga, and cycling, including warm-up and cool-down elements. The colored, animated rings offer an easy way for the wearer to see whether they\u2019ve hit their daily fitness goals, such as getting in enough steps. And if your kid loves to swim? Then the Apple Watch SE is the perfect accompaniment to their endeavors: it can be worn to a depth of a whopping fifty meters. And after all that activity? The smartwatch incorporates a <\/span><b>sleep tracker<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, too, to help your older child ensure they\u2019re getting a good night\u2019s rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And when it comes to safety, there are some tools to help give you parental peace of mind, too. The watch\u2019s <strong>SOS button<\/strong> simply needs to be touched and held down, and an alert will be sent to the emergency services. Further, setting up an Apple Family Sharing account will allow you to activate the watch\u2019s <strong>GPS tracker<\/strong>, so you can see where your kid is at any time. The Family Setup platform gives you access to other handy tools, such as the <strong>Schooltime setting<\/strong>, which blocks all other apps and features on the watch apart from the basic time functions to help ensure your child can concentrate during class.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>One of the most budget-friendly Apple watches on the market<\/li>\n<li>Supports a healthy, active lifestyle<\/li>\n<li>Parental controls to prevent unwanted contact <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with<\/span> strangers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>May not be suitable for younger kids<\/li>\n<li>Games and apps may prove distracting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"32\">Apple Watch Series 8<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45383\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-8.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-8-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-8-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-8-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-8-808x808.jpeg 808w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-8-392x392.jpeg 392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 35.5556px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Price:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 85%;\">$399.99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Age:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">10\u201312+<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Max. battery life:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">18 h<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Waterproof:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">Water-resistant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2800<\/span><br \/>\nLike all the smartwatches from Apple, the series 8 model hasn\u2019t been designed with young kids in mind, but your older teen is sure to love it. It has a 45mm screen width and will fit wrists sized 160-210mm.<\/p>\n<p>This latest Apple Watch is even smarter and more powerful than its predecessors, with advanced sensors to provide in-depth fitness and health information. As well as the comprehensive <strong>fitness trackers<\/strong> and tools, there\u2019s also a <strong>sleep monitor<\/strong>, which displays not only how much sleep your teen is getting, but also its quality. There are twelve different workout types, along with guided walks and runs, meditations, and workouts that can be modified to match their wearer\u2019s level.<\/p>\n<p>The always-on, edge-to-edge, bright retina display is easy to read, even when the wrist is at an angle, and it\u2019s widely customizable, so your teen can design the look of the watch to suit their unique personality and tastes\u2014there are dozens of straps and watch faces to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a parent, you\u2019ll appreciate the Apple Watch Series 8\u2019s toughness and durability. It\u2019s crack-resistant, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dust-resistant<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (to IP6X standards), and water-resistant\u2014it\u2019s swim-proof to WR50 standards, meaning it can be submerged to a depth of fifty meters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The wearer will have access to literally thousands of apps from their wrist via the App Store, as well as the ability to <strong>call, text, and stream music<\/strong> (with a plan). <strong>Apple Pay<\/strong> can also be used on this smartwatch to quickly and easily send money to friends when required or make convenient instant payments. And the battery life? This Apple Watch is impressive on this score, too, offering an all-day battery life of up to eighteen hours and up to thirty-six hours when set to Low Power mode.<\/p>\n<p>As with other watches from Apple, the Series 8 supports Family Setup, via which you can access a range of <strong>parental controls and safety features<\/strong>, and there are a ton of additional features, too. These include a compass with multiple views, an always-on function altimeter, a gyroscope, <strong>fall and crash detection<\/strong>, and much more.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>Powerful, with access to 100s of apps<\/li>\n<li>Advanced fitness and health trackers and tools<\/li>\n<li>Supports Family Setup, where there are lots of parental control tools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>One of the most expensive options on the market<\/li>\n<li>Not suitable for younger children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"33\">Apple Watch Series 5<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45385\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-5.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/08\/Apple-Watch-5-392x392.jpg 392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 35.5556px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Price:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 85%;\">$179.99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Age:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">10\u201312+<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Max. battery life:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">18 h<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 35px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 35.5556px; width: 40%; padding: 0px 15px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Waterproof:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 35px;\">Water-resistant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2800<\/span><br \/>\nChoosing an Apple Watch for your child from an earlier series could be a cost-effective option that still provides plenty of features, such as <strong>GPS<\/strong>, <strong>worldwide emergency calling<\/strong>, a <strong>compass<\/strong>, and a <strong>motion sensor<\/strong>. Like the later Series 8, reviewed above, this watch also boasts the Always On Retina Display for superior screen clarity and convenience. It\u2019s important to note, however, that an iPhone is required to pair with this watch to enable it to fully operate.<\/p>\n<p>As well as <strong>voice and video calling<\/strong>, <strong>text messaging<\/strong>, and voice messaging, your child will also be able to access the App Store to download audiobooks, play games, read articles, and much more. Plus, the <strong>fitness trackers and apps<\/strong> are designed to help all users get more active in their daily lives, and the Noise app aims to help users have a greater awareness of volume (such as that experienced at a concert) and how it could have a negative impact on hearing.<\/p>\n<p>As with newer versions, the Apple Watch Series 5 is designed to promote an active, healthy lifestyle and offers a range of tools to help wearers meet their fitness goals and stay well. It was one of the first over-the-counter wearables both in the UK and the US to feature an <strong>inbuilt electrocardiogram (ECG)<\/strong> to monitor heart-rate patterns and alert the user if something unusual is detected.<\/p>\n<p>The main fitness apps are Active and Workout, each of which has a different focus. Active involves the wearer trying to fill three onscreen \u2018rings\u2019 each day, which relate to moving, exercising, and standing, and can act as a really effective nudge to get a little more exercise into daily life. Seeing a ring that\u2019s very nearly full can be a good prompt to head out for a quick walk or do a short dance workout to top it up and complete that ring. The Workout app features different modes for a variety of activities, including cycling, running, swimming, and yoga. For older girls, there\u2019s a <strong>menstruation cycle tracker<\/strong>, too, which is a helpful way of understanding our body\u2019s natural rhythm and predicting when our next period will arrive.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kids will love all the customization opportunities to help them make the watch uniquely their own. They can choose from a range of strap colors and watch faces, as well as ringtones and other design elements. The watch case is constructed from super-tough titanium, which is extra sturdy but lighter than stainless steel. The custom-engineered watch coating helps the device maintain its color and prevents staining\u2014something parents will be very pleased to hear!\u2014and it\u2019s fall and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scratch-resistant<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, too. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Apple Series<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5 watch is available in gold, silver, and space gray.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In terms of listening to music and podcasts, this Apple Watch fares well: it has 32GB of space, allowing for the downloading and playing of a huge number of tracks and podcasts.<\/p>\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>More cost-effective than newer watches in the Apple series<\/li>\n<li>SOS international emergency calling<\/li>\n<li>Lots of options for customization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>As with other Apple watches, may not be suitable for young kids<\/li>\n<li>Battery life isn\u2019t as good compared to other smartwatches on the market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Best Kids&#8217; Apple Watches: The Takeaway<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple watches are well known for their high quality, durability, and huge range of functions and features.

It connects via the T-Mobile network, and to access the parental control features, you\u2019ll need to download the companion app onto your device. Once activated, you can manually <strong>locate your child<\/strong> using this app, or turn on <strong>live tracking<\/strong>\u2014the latter will ping the watch every ten seconds for up to fifteen minutes.<\/p>\n<p>You can also set <strong>Virtual Boundaries<\/strong>, and once established, you\u2019ll receive a notification when your child enters the designated area. By setting their school as a Virtual Boundary, for example, you\u2019ll be notified when your child arrives and when your child leaves at the end of the day, for added peace of mind. There\u2019s an <strong>emergency contact button and 911 dialing<\/strong>, too, which act as additional safety nets.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the SyncUP watch is only available in Chalk color, although you can choose between coral or blue wristbands. The watch itself has a 1.4\u201d display and a single push button on the side to activate this, and it incorporates a single camera that\u2019s located above the screen.<\/p>\n<p>This watch will allow your child to make <strong>phone calls<\/strong>, <strong>send messages<\/strong>, and enjoy <strong>video chats <\/strong>with their friends\u2014but only those on their <strong>parent-approved contact list<\/strong>, a major plus for those worried about strangers trying to get in touch with their children. This also means your child\u2019s device won\u2019t be subject to spam or nuisance calls.<\/p>\n<p>As well as all the basic features you\u2019d expect from one of the best smartwatches for kids, such as <strong>task reminders<\/strong>, a <strong>step counter<\/strong>, and an <strong>alarm clock<\/strong>, there\u2019s a host of options to keep your child entertained, too, such as customizable themes, fun games, and interactive characters. And there\u2019s <strong>School Mode<\/strong> to make sure that the fun doesn\u2019t become a distraction in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, as it\u2019s been designed with kids in mind, it\u2019s built to withstand rough play, drops, and even water. As well as being water-resistant, the SyncUP Kids smartwatch comes with a replaceable screen protector and both silicone and nylon bands for all-day comfort on your child\u2019s wrist. The battery life is good and should last all day before it needs a charge, although parents should note that the live tracking feature does tend to drain the battery life significantly quicker than when this feature is not enabled.<\/p>\n<p>The SyncUP Kids watch is available to T-Mobile customers who have at least one active voice line.

On the one hand, children&#8217;s smartwatches can provide some helpful benefits, like encouraging physical activity, providing a simpler smartphone alternative to introduce kids to technology gradually, and allowing parents to track activity, monitor their kids&#8217; social media access, and use tracking features for kids for safety. However, there are downsides to smartwatches at this age. Kids might use them to access mature, unsuitable content or get access to calls and voice messages, which could allow strangers to contact them. Parents should therefore exercise caution before buying a child&#8217;s smartwatch and consider a tracking for kids app to provide the necessary levels of protection.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the best smartwatch for a 7-year-old?<\/h3>\n<p>For us, the <a  rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0B3N4JBG9?maas=maas_adg_F59BF28D93C8E6FFA041B887ED0F65B3_afap_abs&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=fmk1blog-20&amp;linkId=157326ccaddcce59da5b3aff3c0ed0b9&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\"\">Pingo Track<\/a> is our pick of smartwatches for this age.

Parents looking for a smartwatch for kids without a phone should consider key features and prioritize models with strong tracking for kids technology.<\/p>\n<p>Models like the T-Mobile SyncUP offer 2-way voice calling and unlimited calling, making sure your child stays connected safely, while the Apple Watch SE is a better choice for kids with phone connectivity.<\/p>\n<h3>Are smartwatches a good idea for kids?<\/h3>\n<p>Children\u2019s smartwatch products provide numerous benefits for kids ages 6 and up.
