Smartwatches for Kids – Deals – Amazon Prime Day 2 Days Away!
I remember how excited I was to get my first watch. It didn’t do much – just told me the time – and it wasn’t even digital. My how times have changed! Kids today are able to choose from a wide selection of watches – digital, analogue and of course smartwatches. Telling time is just one of dozens of things the watches of today are designed to do. With Amazon Prime Day 2 days away, meaning Prime free shipping, we decided to look at some special deals on children’s smartwatches that you may want to check out.
Amazon’s Choice is the Orbo Kids Bluetooth Phone Pairing Smartwatch with Rotating Camera. The Orbo Kids Smartwatch has a large, touchscreen with highly intuitive menus and vivid display screens. The Bluetooth feature allows children to receive phone calls, though does not allow outgoing calls. The Orbo Smartwatch has a tiltable camera that allows the wearer to take both photos and videos and store them to the watch. Kids can even edit photos with a variety of cool effects. It has stop watch and alarm features and the clock display can be digital or analogue. It comes with 1 GB of memory but can be expanded to 32 GB. The Orbo Smartwatch lasts about 8 hours between charges. A variety of interactive games and activities will not only help children to tell time but it will also keep them busy and entertained for hours. These smartwatches are currently on sale for less than $45.
A second great choice is the second generation VTech Smartwatch. It has even more games and activities to keep kids busy and entertained. This special edition VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch comes with two wristbands and anyone with young children knows that dirty, sticky hands, mean dirty, sticky watches, so a second band is a pretty good idea! The VTech Kidizoom has expanded memory so kids can take more photos and videos than before. Children can edit photos and videos for special effects and voice changing effects as well. The VTech Kidizoom has the same features as the first generation smartwatch – alarm, timer, and stopwatch, but it also has a calendar, calculator and pedometer. With more than 50 clock faces to choose from, in both analogue and digital, kids can find the one just right for them. The VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch DX Special Edition is now less than $58 at Amazon or the regular VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch DX is less than $50 (comes with only one wristband).
The Eoncore GPS/GSM Wi-Fi Tracker Smartwatch seems to be primarily designed so that parents can monitor the whereabouts of their children at all times. Less of a typical smartwatch, the Eoncore Tracker Smartwatch definitely serves a specific purpose and for concerned parents it may provide a little peace of mind. The watch is designed to sound an alarm if the wearer goes outside the parameters set for it. It provides real time tracking and sends notifications if it detects the watch is falling off or being removed. The Eoncore Tracker Smartwatch allows communication between parent and child and comes with a smart phone app for easy dialogue. For less than $37 this smartwatch may be a worthy purchase for concerned or protective parents.
Kingear Kids Smartwatch has a large touchscreen that makes it easy for little fingers to manipulate. It has both WiFi and GPS tracking for easy communication and tracking of children. The GPS is very specific even allowing you to track your child on a street map! The Kingear Smartwatch allows for two-way calling and phone numbers can be preprogrammed so children only need to push one button to send an outgoing call. Kingear also has remote shutdown, alarms (think curfew), and boundary settings. If children wander outside the set boundaries parents are notified. An interesting feature of this smartwatch is it allows parents to silently “listen in” to their child and find out what is really going on! The Kingear Smartwatch is on sale now for around $86 (regularly $159).
Garmin breaks into the Kids Smartwatch market with the Vivofit Junior. With a battery life of one year and no charging needed it really does set itself apart from its competition. These smartwatches are water resistant and swim-friendly and built to withstand the day to day wear and tear of the rough and tumble child. Fun and educational games and activities will keep the children entertained, while chore and behavior management programs will keep the parents happy! The Vivofit Jr tracks sleep, steps and has a 60 minute activity counter to ensure your child is getting recommended levels of physical fitness. The one piece wristband allows your child to easily slip it on and off while the fit is snug enough to prevent it slipping off unnoticed. The smartphone app allows parents to monitor more than one child, see their progress, assign chores and distribute rewards. Gentle reminders to brush their teeth, complete their homework or tidy their rooms can be set for daily, weekly or once-only reminders. As chores are completed children earn coins that they can then exchange for predetermined rewards agreed to by parents. The Vivofit Jr rewards kids for achieving their 60 minute activity goal by unlocking a mobile adventure trail and fun facts. On sale now for just under $70, it is our personal favorite smartwatch for kids!
