You should also look for a device with PIN or password protection, so that only you can change settings or add new apps. GPS trackers cannot help you if the device has run out of charge. If the smartwatch is too power hungry you either need to check that they are charging it every night and remembering to put it back on in the morning, or risk the smartwatch running out of juice at an inopportune moment. Streaming content uses power at an alarming rate. While many of the smartwatches designed especially for children are reasonably light on their battery and data demands, the adult versions are not. If you know they can contact you with a couple of taps if they get into trouble, then neither of you needs to worry so much. It’s also worth considering a smartwatch that allows you to contact your child and vice versa. Geofencing is a particularly handy feature for parents, as it allows you to define an area and alerts you if your child goes beyond the parameters of that area. Remember, if you want to use a smartwatch to ensure that you never have to worry about losing your little one, you need to choose a smartwatch with a SIM card and GPS support, but it pays to choose a device that your child will want to wear or you may find that it’s conveniently “lost” or left behind. Most also have apps and games purely for entertainment. Many of these offer fitness tracking, various apps and features to help you to monitor your child, and apps that aim to educate children or even encourage them to do their chores. Thankfully, there are plenty of smartwatches designed especially for kids.
If you’re looking for a smartwatch to provide you with location tracking for your child, then you’ll want something tailormade for the purpose and more affordable.

Most adult smartwatches (such as the Apple Watch Series 4) offer the ability to make and receive calls, send messages and even stream music, but they’re not cheap. To get the full benefit from a smartwatch as a locator you need GPS and a child tracking app. Although children may love these apps, many of the watches that support them do not have SIM card or GPS support and so are unable to help you track your child. Many have entertainment and learning apps or games. A smartwatch can be a good way of encouraging them to think about personal safety. This can be very important if you are looking to provide your child with a way of communicating with you without offering them the full internet access that phones allow, with all of the hazards that can bring. While most smartwatches act as companions to a smartphone, those with SIM cards can also act as stand-alone devices. These features can offer some additional value over and above your desire to ensure your child’s safety and make the device more fun for children to use.
