Smart Kid T 100

Rating: 4.9

The very expensive Smart Kid T 100 watch differs from its counterparts in its 'adult' design. They come with a leather strap, so the device will look perfect on a boy wearing a school uniform. However, on sale you can also find more familiar smart watches, endowed with a silicone strap. As you might have figured out, the strap attachment is standard here, so you can buy several additional accessories at once, giving your child some choice.

To display the image and control the firmware, a touch OLED – display is used here. The colors are very juicy here, and the lack of a separate backlit layer has a positive effect on energy consumption. The diagonal of the screen is 1.54 inches – you can see all the information without any difficulty.

The smartwatch is relatively small and lightweight. Neither do they have a camera and a microphone. With the help of such components, you can write videos and take photos, but first of all, the camera is not here for that. Like other smartwatches for children, this model allows you to literally follow the child on whose wrist it is. To do this, you need to insert a SIM card into the watch. After that, the device will record the child's movements by sending the current coordinates to the developer's server. A parent only needs to go to a special application on his smartphone, after which he can understand exactly where the son or daughter is now. If the child leaves the pre-defined area, the program will immediately notify about it. Well, the camera can take pictures without the knowledge of the child – this will allow at least something to understand if GPS satellites are not available. Well, do not forget that with the help of the watch, you can communicate with their carrier in a voice chat!

In a word, the gadget turned out to be very solid. He can even monitor sleep. Although it is still recommended to take off the watch at night so that the wrist can rest. Yes, and they need to be charged sometime, because a 650 mAh battery is enough for several days of battery life.

Advantages

• There are versions with a leather strap;
• Excellent OLED – display;
• There is a microphone, speaker and camera;
• There is support for 3G networks;
• Built-in GPS chip;
• Weight does not exceed 49 g;
• Sleep and calorie monitoring is available;
• Decent battery life
• There is a button SOS.

disadvantages

• Decent thickness (14 mm);
• High price;
• There is no full moisture protection.

Elari KidPhone 3G

Rating: 4.8

This smartwatch can be safely called unique. The fact is that they are equipped with the voice assistant 'Alice', developed by the forces of 'Yandex'. The child can ask Alice the distance from the Earth to the Moon, the average temperature at the North Pole, and other background information.

However, the high cost of these smart watches is due not only to the presence of a voice assistant. And the device got into our rating not only thanks to Alice. We liked the waterproof case. A child can easily wash his hands in such hours, as the device is not afraid of rains. However, do not forget to take your watch off in the pool – it will quickly fail under water.

The device received a rather small display, the diagonal of which does not exceed 1.3 inches. At the same time, the resolution of 240×240 pixels resulted in a high pixel density. For the successful operation of the voice assistant, the watch needs synchronization with a smartphone running at least Android 5.0. Perhaps this is the main drawback of the device, because not every parent agrees to entrust something like this to their child.

This smart watch includes a GPS chip that records the location of the child. Information is sent to the developer's server via 3G networks. You just need to remember to place the SIM card in the appropriate tray. There are also Wi-Fi modules and Bluetooth – it is with their help that synchronization with a smartphone is carried out. The manufacturer did not forget about the camera either. It is complemented by a microphone and speaker that allow you to talk to your child at any time. Surprisingly, there was a place here for a flashlight, which will definitely come in handy in cities that are not really illuminated at night. However, why is it surprising? The smartwatch turned out to be very large. In the reviews they regularly write that the watch may look ridiculous on the hand of an eight-year-old child. And if the child is older, then such a smart watch may simply not interest him.

Advantages

• There is a button SOS;
• Added voice assistant Alice;
• There is a camera, speaker and microphone;
• Implemented some protection against water;
• Built-in GPS chip;
• 3G networks are supported;
• There is a flashlight;
• Decent battery life.

disadvantages

• Not the fastest sending information about coordinates;
• Not very high reliability;
• Large sizes;
• Not all children will like the colors.

Smart Baby Watch SBW WS

Rating: 4.8

Outwardly, this watch looks much more interesting than the model discussed above. The case and strap of the device included in our rating are painted in bright colors – either white and blue, or white and red, or black and red. The strap will be rubber anyway – this accessory is well adjustable in length. The case itself is waterproof according to the IP67 standard. This means that the watch can not be taken off in the shower, in the rain or in the pool. Although it must be admitted that it is better to wash without them – they simply interfere.

The thickness of the gadget is 15 mm. In this regard, the device is almost no different from other smart watches. The manufacturer needed somewhere to place a GPS chip, a SIM card slot and other important components. It seems that in the future, children's smartwatches will still become more compact, but only due to the introduction of electronic SIM-cards (now their distribution is considered illegal). The size of the device was also influenced by the microphone and speaker. But the camera is not here. This means that you can talk to the child, but you cannot look at him at this moment. However, there is nothing wrong with that – many parents believe that the introduction of a 0.3-megapixel camera makes no sense. Better to get a kid's smartwatch for less money.

This model has a button SOS. It is recommended to immediately teach the child to use it only in case of extreme need – for example, if he is attacked by bullies or a robber. A signal for help is transmitted to parents' smartphones via 2G networks. Unfortunately, 3G networks are not supported here, and therefore the sending of coordinates is carried out with a certain delay. But it is possible, and this is the most important thing. Also among the advantages of smartwatches is Wi-Fi support. This technology is used to update applications and synchronize with a smartphone. A good screen is also built in here – it has a diagonal of 1.3 inches and a resolution of 240×240 pixels. However, this is the case when the ideal picture is achieved due to the IPS technology by which the display was created. Needless to say that such a screen has a sufficiently high energy bed? As a result, a 450 mAh battery lasts only 20 hours of active use of the watch. Therefore, they will have to be charged regularly – every night.

Advantages

• Low cost;
• The screen gives a colorful picture;
• Several color options;
• Decent water protection implemented;
• The display has a high pixel density;
• Built-in microphone and speaker;
• There is a GPS chip;
• Button SOS was not forgotten.

disadvantages

• Only 2G networks are supported;
• Short battery life;
• Many useful features are paid;
• The sensor doesn't always work the first time;
• Only 12 hour time format.

Wonlex GW1000S

Rating: 4.7

In our rating, we have already talked about children's smartwatches sold with a leather bracelet. Another similar model is Wonlex GW1000S. We can safely say that this is already a gadget for teenagers who have overcome their primary school education. This is evidenced by the stylish silver edging, thanks to which the watch could be liked by some adults too. It should be noted that the device can be sold with a silicone strap – it will come in handy on the day when a physical education lesson is scheduled. Changing the bracelet does not cause serious problems – a traditional watch mount is used here.

The front panel of the device contains a 1.54-inch LCD display. It displays a very high-quality picture; the child is unlikely to have any complaints. Firmware control is carried out both through the touch screen and by pressing the button below it. You can also find a camera lens on the body of the gadget. Surprisingly, its resolution has been brought to quite acceptable 2 megapixels. This is quite enough to understand what exactly is happening around your child. Well, for a conversation with him, of course. In the second case, a speaker and microphone are additionally used. Communication is provided by 3G networks, which are fully supported here. The smart watch also has a Wi-Fi module. But Bluetooth is missing, which, however, is forgivable.

Like other children's smart watches, this device will most often be used to understand where the child is right now. Unfortunately, the GPS chip installed here is not very sensitive. In this regard, the coordinates are stably determined only on the street, but there are problems in the room. The manufacturer did not forget about the accelerometer either. With it, the smart watch counts at least an approximate number of steps. There is also a calorie counter, but the child is unlikely to need it.

The autonomous operation of the gadget is ensured by a 600 mAh lithium polymer battery. However, even it is enough for only a day and a half of regular use. It turns out that you need to charge your smartwatch every night. Only in this case you will be sure that at any moment you will know for sure about the location of your son or daughter.

Advantages

• There is a button SOS;
• There is a GPS;
• 3G networks are supported;
• There is a microphone, speaker and a good camera;
• Decent display
• There is a version with a leather strap.

disadvantages

• Big sizes;
• Not the most stable signal reception from GPS satellites;
• The watch has an adult design, which not everyone will like.

Jet kid swimmer

Rating: 4.7

This smartwatch has a familiar look and feel. The difference from competitors lies in the presence of a touch button here, made in the form of a green tube. It is located under the display, with its help you can quickly contact parents in order to convey to them some kind of request or tell them that you are late. The body of the device and the rubber strap can be painted pink or blue. In short, you can choose a version for both a girl and a boy.

One cannot but rejoice that the device is waterproof according to the IP67 standard. This means that the child can learn to swim in the pool right in the clock. However, this is pointless, because there are no specialized sports applications in the smartwatch firmware. There are only an alarm clock, a calculator, a flashlight function and other small programs that are useful for a primary school student. It is felt that the clock was created mainly so that parents can be notified in time when the child leaves the permitted area. The gadget really copes with this task perfectly. The signal from satellites is caught almost perfectly – for this, among other things, we should thank the support of GLONASS. Coordinate data is sent to the firmware developer server via mobile networks. However, the manufacturer does not specify over what generation networks this is done. But they warn that a nano SIM is required here. This sets the gadget apart from competitors that have a slot for larger SIM cards.

Here you can use not only a speaker with a microphone, but also a camera to talk to your child. Also, the device includes a button SOS, which is supposed to be pressed only during some trouble. Well, the autonomous work of the smart watch is provided by a 400 mAh battery. It's easy to guess that you will have to charge the gadget every night.

Advantages

• Several color options;
• Children's appearance;
• Waterproof to IP67 standard;
• Decent touchscreen display
• There is a microphone, speaker and camera;
• Good navigation chip;
• Button SOS is not forgotten;
• Added a flashlight.

disadvantages

• The watch may seem oversized.

Jet kid gear

Rating: 4.7

When designing this children's smartwatch, the manufacturer clearly peeped at the design of South Korean wearable devices. The name of this model also hints at this. However, one must admit that the gadget turned out to be much simpler. If the South Koreans use a very large display, then here its diagonal is only 1.44 inches. The frames around it turned out to be not big, but huge. There is also no rotating bezel – only the touch screen and several buttons located on the sides of the device are used to control the firmware. The clock is also highlighted by the camera lens located above the display. With its help, video communication is implemented here. Unfortunately, the camera is not protected by glass, but by plastic, which is easily scratched.

Smartwatches were created exclusively for boys. And for well-fed boys – this is evidenced by the large size of the gadget. There are four color options available for the buyer's choice, but pink is not among them. Inside this device is a modest processor MediaTek MTK 2503. Its power is enough to run the few applications installed here. Basically, these watches are designed to transmit the current coordinates to the creators' server. Then parents can get acquainted with them if they log in to a special application on their smartphone. The accuracy of the coordinates is high enough, for which one should thank the support of Russian navigation satellites. It is not specified on what networks the data is transmitted. But, as in the case of the previous model from the same manufacturer, it is warned that it uses a slot for a nano SIM card. The product also has a Wi-Fi module, with which it can also access the Internet.

The resolution of the built-in LCD is 240×240 pixels. This allows you to easily read any text, which is very small here. It remains to add that the battery capacity is standard here – it does not exceed 400 mAh. You need to charge the smart watch once a day, otherwise the next day the child may be faced with the device suddenly turned off.

Advantages

• There is a sensor for removing the watch from the hand;
• There is a button SOS;
• GLONASS satellites are supported;
• There is a camera, microphone and speaker;
• Nice round touchscreen display;
• Several color options;
• Low cost.

disadvantages

• Very large size;
• No girls option;
• There is no full water protection.

EnBe Children Watch

Rating: 4.6

This smartwatch has a familiar square display. A silicone strap is supplied with them. Both the watch case and the bracelet are painted in one of five possible colors – even a pink version is available for purchase. The watch turned out to be light enough, for which the plastic case should be thanked. Surprisingly, such a simple and inexpensive smartwatch is waterproof. However, the IP65 certificate indicates that the gadget that got into our rating will only withstand rain. If you dip the device under water, it will fail, and this will not be a guarantee case.

On the front side of the device there is a simple touchscreen display with a diagonal of 1.22 inches. Unlike most of the analogs discussed in this article, the clock cannot display a color picture. But such a screen consumes a minimum amount of electricity. As a result, a 450 mAh battery is enough for the gadget. It turns out that the display also contributed to the decrease in weight. It is a pity that it did not affect the size of the watch in any way – the thickness of the device reaches the standard 15 mm.

The built-in GPS module works flawlessly. Coordinates from it are transmitted to a special server over cellular networks. They also receive voice messages from parents. Alas, there is no camera here, so you won't be able to look at what is happening around. But on the other hand, the manufacturer has endowed the children's smart watch Bluetooth – a module that is used to synchronize with a smartphone.

Advantages

• There is a button SOS;
• Added the 'Class Schedule' application;
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules are present;
• There is a GPS chip;
• There is a speaker and microphone;
• Lots of color options;
• Water protection implemented;
• Low cost.

disadvantages

• There is no camera;
• Monochrome display;
• Not the most convenient charger;
• Short battery life;
• Accidental button presses SOS are possible.

Smart Baby Watch G98

Rating: 4.5

Another smartwatch with an adult design in our ranking. Of course, you can buy some kind of strap with cartoon characters depicted on it. However, this does not change the fact that the Smart Baby Watch G98 can be confused with the Apple Watch – a device that can by no means be called a baby device. However, students of the third and fifth grades will even like it.

The manufacturer did not limit the color of the screen by introducing a full-fledged IPS panel here. The diagonal of the display is 1.54 inches, and the resolution is 240×240 pixels. Alas, such a screen has a separate backlit layer, and therefore its power consumption is far from ideal. But the engineers made their choice in favor of a modest battery, the capacity of which does not exceed 350 mAh. As a result, the device requires a charger to be connected every evening. But the gadget turned out to be very thin, due to which it looks quite natural on the child's wrist.

I am glad that the smartwatch received a button SOS. It allows you to send a notification to parents that the child is in some kind of trouble. After that, parents directly from their smartphone go to the corresponding application, where they are provided with a complete history of movements. You can also start a voice chat in it. You can also get acquainted with what is happening around. However, a 0.3-megapixel camera is used as a camera, which creates inferior photographs – you will not always be able to recognize familiar objects in them.

Cellular networks are used to transmit data for hours. You just need to remember to place a microSIM card inside the gadget. The product can also synchronize with a smartphone – Bluetooth 2.0 is used for this. But Wi-Fi is missing here.

It remains to add that there is moisture protection here. However, the manufacturer did not carry out the relevant tests, and therefore the device did not receive one or another certificate. Therefore, we recommend that you tell your child not to experiment – the very first dive of the watch will most likely disable it.

Advantages

• The thickness is only 12mm;
• Implemented some moisture protection;
• There is a microphone, speaker and camera;
• Good IPS display
• There is a GPS chip;
• There is a button SOS;
• The ability to use a memory card is available;
• Low cost.

disadvantages

• No Wi-Fi support;
• Not everyone will like the adult look;
• Short battery life.

Jet kid scout

Rating: 4.5

Many girls will like this watch the most. The fact is that their body is painted pink. The outer side of the silicone strap has the same color (the inner side is gray). However, there are versions with other colors, but finding them on sale is much more difficult.

This representative of our rating can be purchased for 3000 rubles. This is a very low price, and therefore the device has received a number of simplifications. For example, with a 1.44-inch diagonal, the screen installed here has a resolution of 128×128 pixels. It turns out that the pixel density does not exceed 126 PPI. This means that the experienced eye will immediately notice the pixelation. However, even such a low resolution may be enough for a kindergarten pupil or a student of elementary grades. Also, the manufacturer decided to get rid of the camera. And this is correct, because for that kind of money, the gadget could get a maximum of a 0.3-megapixel module, which would hardly please with any high-quality picture.

The device interacts with the Internet via 2G networks. Their bandwidth is barely enough to send the current coordinates. A normal conversation with a child, like on the phone, is out of the question. However, parents will still be able to send voice messages. Also, through second generation networks, a notification is sent that the child has pressed the button SOS. And he needs to be taught that it should be pressed only when some serious problems arise.

Interestingly, there is an accelerometer inside the watch, configured to send a warning that the device has been removed from the hand. Also under the plastic case is a 400 mAh battery. You shouldn't wait for several days of battery life – regular use of the navigation chip does the trick. By the way, it supports not only GPS satellites, but also the Russian navigation system. This makes the coordinates more accurate. And satellites are searched much faster.

It should be noted that this smartwatch is completely insecure from water. If the child has a walk in the rain, then it is better to put the gadget somewhere in the backpack.

Advantages

• Children's appearance;
• There is a microphone and speaker;
• There is support for GLONASS;
• There is a sensor for removing the watch from the hand;
• The device has a button SOS;
• There is a flashlight;
• Very low cost.

disadvantages

• Low display resolution;
• No moisture protection;
• Missing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi;
• Data transmission and reception only over 2G networks.

Ginzzu GZ-505

Rating: 4.5

This smartwatch can also be painted pink, just like its strap. However, the number of copies with a different color is almost identical, so it is not difficult to find a yellow or blue watch on sale. It should also be noted that this is one of the most affordable gadgets in our rating. During the sales, you can purchase the Ginzzu GZ-505 for only 2500 rubles. But of course, you don't need to rely on the wide functionality of the device for that kind of money. In fact, this is a toy that will serve a child for about six months.

The front of this watch houses a modest 1.22-inch display. The resolution is low, but it is enough for adequate display of icons. You can also find microphone and speaker holes on the body. There is no camera, and therefore you will not be able to see what is happening around your child. Somewhere under the plastic case is the processor MediaTek MTK 2503. It must be admitted that this chip has a high power consumption, like the aforementioned screen. As a result, a full charge of the 400 mAh battery barely lasts until evening. It is sad. The good news is that the watch sends a signal to the parents' smartphone that the battery is running out. That is, you will be notified of this fact in time.

As expected, the gadget sends the child's GPS coordinates to the server of the device creators over cellular networks. Wi-Fi can also be used here from time to time. The wireless module Bluetooth is missing – the manufacturer decided to save on this. But he did not begin to deprive the button SOS of his creation. Interestingly, the watch can monitor sleep. But, as you might have guessed, this function will never be used. Firstly, it is banally uncomfortable for a child to sleep in such large hours. Secondly, do you need to charge the device sometime?

Water protection according to the IP55 standard can also be considered a fiction. There is speculation that the manufacturer did not actually carry out any tests. The very first walk in the rain can disable the gadget. Well, what else did you expect from such a cheap children's smartwatch?

Advantages

• There is a speaker and microphone;
• Several color options;
• Children's design;
• There is a good working GPS chip;
• There is a button SOS;
• The Wi-Fi module is not forgotten;
• Very low cost.

disadvantages

• Large enough size;
• Short battery life;
• The watch is not particularly reliable.

Smart Baby Watch Q90

Rating: 4.5

Perhaps these smartwatches have the most childish design. Initially, it may seem that this is an ordinary toy. But if you still turn on the gadget, then you begin to understand that it has a fairly broad functionality. And a toy cannot cost more than 3000 rubles.

Smart watches have a familiar plastic case. The strap is silicone, and it is attached with special loops. Interestingly, as many as nine color variants of the device went on sale. But the device is capable of boasting not only this. It included a small but high-quality OLED display. With a 1.22-inch diagonal, its resolution is 240×240 pixels. Therefore, all icons look almost perfect. But what can I say, not every budget smartphone has a pixel density of 278 PPI!

Like other smartwatches for children, the Smart Baby Watch Q90 can be inserted into a SIM card (using the micro SIM format). After that, all that remains is to set the clock. This also requires a smartphone, on which you need to install a special application. In the future, it will be in this program that you can send a voice message to your watch, listen to the child's answer and, most importantly, find out his coordinates. Of course, in the application, you can outline the areas that the child is not recommended to walk beyond. Alternatively, you can specify the school site in this way. If the child has crossed the virtual border, a notification is sent to the smartphone. In the case of school, this may mean it's time to make lunch.

There is no camera in this watch. This limits them slightly, parents will not be able to see what is happening around their child. Also, a certain limitation is the fact that data is transmitted and received exclusively via 2G communication. Support for third-generation networks would not hurt, because they have a significantly higher data exchange rate.

Otherwise, this is a typical smartwatch for children. They include a fairly capacious battery, which is enough for one day of battery life. In fact, with OLED – the screen, the gadget should work much longer, but the manufacturer was unable to obtain an energy efficient GPS chip. Another drawback of the device is the ringing of an incoming call – it is similar to how old rotary phones rang. Needless to say, the child wants more variety?

Advantages

• There is a button SOS;
• Huge selection of colors;
• Decent OLED – display;
• There is a microphone and speaker;
• There is a navigation chip;
• Wi-Fi support introduced;
• There is a sensor for taking off the hand;
• Low cost;
• Complete design for children.

disadvantages

• The watch is not reliable;
• 3G cellular networks are not supported;
• No moisture protection;
• Not always accurate positioning.

Smart Baby Watch Q50

Rating: 4.4

It is known that using smartwatches gets boring enough for many children. In this case, you don't want to spend a lot of money on their purchase. Also, a similar device can be bought as an experiment – in this case, you also want to save money. That is why the model called Smart Baby Watch Q50 is in high demand. The fact is that its cost does not exceed 2,000 rubles. It seems that any parents are ready to spend this amount.

The most inexpensive representative of our rating is available in a large number of color options. Everything has been simplified here. This is most noticeable on the strap – the device itself is literally inserted into it, there are no loops or something like that here. This means that a bracelet from a regular watch cannot be attached to such a gadget. But on the other hand, the strap used here can not only be painted in a bright color, it also has a pattern of dog footprints – children will definitely like it.

The device itself turned out to be quite small. Its thickness is 12 mm, and its weight is about 40 g. Decrease in characteristics occurred due to the use of the simplest monochrome OLED – display. You can find something similar in cheap fitness trackers. But if an adult needs to know from such a device only the number of steps and time taken, then the child may not like the absence of flowers. With such a watch, he will not receive educational applications, nor anything other interesting – in fact, the screen serves only to show the time, date, number of steps and some other important (not for a child) information.

I am glad that the device can still be used to communicate with a child. There is no camera here, but a microphone and speaker are present. The conversation is carried out over 2G networks, they are also used to transmit coordinates. The gadget also has a button SOS located under the socket for connecting the charger. Autonomous operation of the watch is provided by a 400 mAh battery.

Advantages

• Not very large;
• A huge number of color options;
• The strap has a childish design;
• Button SOS is not forgotten;
• Very low price;
• There is a speaker and microphone;
• There is a GPS chip;
• Implemented moisture protection.

disadvantages

• Communication only over 2G networks;
• No Wi-Fi and Bluetooth;
• Not everyone will like the monochrome display.

Conclusion

This is a list of the most worthy smartwatches for kids. As you can imagine, such a device can be very useful. After buying it, you are unlikely to worry about where your child is staying.
