When it comes to keeping track of your child's whereabouts and ensuring their safety, a kids smartwatch can be a great tool. These watches are specifically designed for children and come with a range of features that make them ideal for parents who want to stay connected with their kids while they're away from home. One of the main features of a kids smartwatch is GPS tracking. This allows parents to see the location of their child in real-time, and to receive alerts if the child strays outside a designated safe zone. Some smartwatches also come with geofencing, which allows parents to set up a virtual perimeter around a specific location, such as a school or home. If the child crosses this boundary, the parent will receive an alert. Another important feature of kids smartwatches is two-way calling and messaging.

For example, if a child is travelling on a school trip or visiting relatives, a GPS tracker can provide par...

There are a lot of phone watches on the market so it’s worth looking around carefully. We can say with a fair degree of confidence that the watches we see at the lower end of the price spectrum do tend to be troublesome, and although the website might promise a whole pile of exciting features, getting them to work, and stay working reliably is often difficult.  We see phone watches starting from as little as £15 and going up all the way to a kid’s Apple Watch with all the bells and whistles for up to £700. Realistically, for a first phone alternative and a primary-school-age phone watch you will be looking at £100 to £150 for a reliable well-made device that won’t end up failing and being discarded quite quickly. Above that bracket you’re looking at something closer to an adult’s Smart Watch, which would do the trick but possibly not ideal for a younger child. A topic we often hear is the battery life on a phone watch. It’s sometimes difficult to remember to regularly charge devic...
