School, playground, friends, after-school clubs… from September, kids are always on the go. Want to keep track of where they are while giving them freedom? Check out which features a kids’ smartwatch should have.
1. What features should kids’ smartwatches have?
🔹 Safety & Location
The most useful features are location tracking and safe zones. They let you know when your child arrives at school, home, or an activity. An SOS button ensures instant contact in emergencies.
🔹 Communication with Parents
Smartwatches should allow safe calls, SMS, and video chats only with verified contacts. Kids stay in touch with parents without the risks of internet exposure.
🔹 Organization & School Mode
Reminders for leaving home, “school mode” during classes, and alerts when it’s time to go home help maintain routine and make sure the watch doesn’t disturb in class.
🔹 Durability & Battery Life
Kids are active, so the watch must withstand drops, rain, and handwashing. Battery life should last several days, so parents don’t need to recharge constantly.
🔹 Fun & Motivation to Move
A pedometer and simple games keep kids entertained and motivate them to be active—without disconnecting from the real world.
All these features come with the LAMAX WatchY4 Play – from accurate GPS and SOS button, to safe chat, school mode, water resistance, and long battery life.
