Smart Kid T 100
Rating: 4.9
Very expensive Smart Kid T 100 watches differ from their analogs in “adult” design. They come with a leather strap, and therefore the device will look perfect on a boy dressed in school uniform. However, on sale you can find more familiar smart watches, endowed with a silicone belt. As you already could understand, a strap mount is standard here, so you can buy several additional accessories at once, giving your child some choice.
Here, an OLED touchscreen display is used to display the image and control the firmware. The colors here are very juicy, and the lack of a separate layer with backlighting 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.
Smart watches turned out relatively small and light. 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 children's smart watches, this model allows you to literally follow the child on whose hand she is. To do this, insert the SIM card into the watch. After that, the device will record the movement of the child, sending the current coordinates to the developer server. The parent only needs to go into a special application on his smartphone, after which you can understand exactly where the son or daughter is now. If the child leaves the pre-defined zone, the program will immediately notify about it. Well, the camera can shoot without the knowledge of the child - this will allow at least something to understand if the GPS satellites are not available. Well, do not forget that with the help of hours you can talk with their carrier in the voice chat!
In short, the gadget was very good. He can even monitor sleep. Although at night the clock is still recommended to be removed, so that the wrist is rested. Yes, and you need to charge them once, because the 650 mAh battery lasts for a few days of battery life.
Virtues
- There are versions with a leather strap;
- Excellent OLED display;
- Present microphone, speaker and camera;
- There is support for 3G networks;
- Built-in GPS chip;
- Weight does not exceed 49 g;
- There is a monitoring of sleep and calories;
- Decent battery life;
- There is an SOS button.
disadvantages
- Decent thickness (14 mm);
- High price;
- There is no full moisture protection.
Elari KidPhone 3G
Rating: 4.8
This smart watch can be called unique. The fact is that they are equipped with the voice assistant "Alice", developed by the forces of "Yandex". The child can find out from 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 our device got into our rating not only thanks to Alice. We liked the waterproof case. A child can calmly wash his hands in such a watch, as the device and the rains are not afraid. However, we must not forget to remove the clock in the pool - under water, they quickly fail.
The device received a fairly small display, the diagonal of which does not exceed 1.3 inches. The resolution of 240x240 pixels resulted in high pixel density. For the successful work of a voice assistant, the clock 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 trust their child with something similar.
The GPS-chip, which fixes the child’s location, is included in the data of the smart-watch. Information is sent to the developer's server via 3G networks. You just need to remember to place the SIM card in the corresponding tray. Also here there are modules Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - it is with their help that they synchronize with the smartphone. Do not forget the manufacturer and the camera. It is supplemented by a microphone and a speaker, which allow you to talk to the child at any time. Surprisingly, there was also a place for a flashlight, which will definitely come in handy in cities that are not really covered at night. But why surprising? Smart watches turned out very large. In reviews, they regularly write that on the hand of an eight-year-old child a watch can look ridiculous. And if the child is older, then such a smart watch may simply not be interested.
Virtues
- There is an SOS button;
- Added voice assistant Alice;
- Present 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 of information about coordinates;
- Not very high reliability;
- Large sizes;
- Coloring like not all children.
Smart Baby Watch SBW WS
Rating: 4.8
Outwardly, this watch looks much more interesting than the model discussed above. The case and the strap caught in our rating devices are painted in bright colors - either in white and blue, or in white and red, or black and red. The strap will be rubber in any case - such an accessory is well adjustable in length. The case itself is waterproof IP67. This means that the clock can not be removed either in the shower or in the rain or in the pool. Although it must be admitted that it is better to wash without them anyway - 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 to place somewhere a GPS chip, a slot for a SIM card and other important components. It seems that in the future, children's smart watches will still become more compact, but only due to the introduction of electronic SIM-cards (now their distribution is considered illegal). More on the size of the device influenced the microphone and speaker. But the camera is not here. This means that you can talk with the child, but look at him at this moment - no. However, there is nothing wrong with that - many parents believe that the introduction of a 0.3-megapixel camera does not make any sense. It is better to get a children's smart watch for less money.
This model has an SOS button.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. The help signal is transmitted to parents' smartphones via 2G networks. Unfortunately, third-generation 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. Also among the advantages of smart watches include support for Wi-Fi. This technology is used to update applications and synchronize with a smartphone. A nice screen is also built in here - it has a diagonal of 1.3 inches and a resolution of 240x240 pixels. However, this is the case when the ideal picture is achieved through IPS technology, which was used to create the display. Do I need to say that such a screen has a high enough energy? As a result, a 450 mAh battery lasts just 20 hours of active use of the clock. Therefore, they will have to be charged regularly - every night.
Virtues
- Low cost;
- The screen gives a colorful picture;
- Several color options;
- Implemented decent water protection;
- The display has a high pixel density;
- Built-in microphone and speaker;
- There is a GPS chip;
- SOS button is not forgotten.
disadvantages
- Only 2G networks are supported;
- Short autonomous work;
- Many useful features are chargeable;
- The sensor does not always work the first time;
- Only 12-hour time format.
Wonlex GW1000S
Rating: 4.7
Our rating has already been told about children's smart watches, sold with a leather bracelet. Another similar model is the Wonlex GW1000S. It is safe to say that this is a gadget for teenagers who have overcome primary school education. This is evidenced by a stylish silver edging, thanks to which some adults might like the watch. 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 class is scheduled. Replacing the bracelet does not cause serious problems - it uses a traditional watch-strap.
On the front panel of the device is a 1.54-inch LCD display. It displays a very high-quality picture, it is unlikely that the child will have at least some complaints. The firmware is controlled both by means of a touch screen and by pressing a button under it. You can also find a camera lens on the body of the gadget. Surprisingly, its resolution has been reduced to quite acceptable 2 Mp. This is quite enough to understand exactly what is happening around your child. Well, to talk with him, of course. In the second case, the speaker and microphone are additionally used. The connection is provided by 3G networks, the support of which is fully present here. Also in the smart watch has a Wi-Fi module. But Bluetooth is missing, which, incidentally, is excusable.
Like other children's smart watches, this device will most often be used to understand exactly where the child is. Unfortunately, the GPS chip installed here is not very sensitive. In this regard, the coordinates are stably determined only on the street, in the room there are problems. I did not forget about the manufacturer and the accelerometer. With it, a smart watch counts at least an approximate number of steps. There is also a calorie counter, but the child is unlikely to need it.
Autonomous operation of the gadget provides a lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 600 mAh. However, even it only lasts for a day and a half of regular operation. It turns out that you need to charge your smart watch 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.
Virtues
- There is an SOS button;
- There is a GPS;
- 3G networks are supported;
- Present microphone, speaker and a good camera;
- It is a 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 that not everyone will like.
Jet kid swimmer
Rating: 4.7
These smart watches have a familiar look. The difference from competitors is the presence here of the touch button, made in the form of a green tube. It is located under the display, with its help, you can quickly contact your parents to give them some kind of request or tell them that you are lingering. The case of the device and the rubber strap can be painted in pink or blue. In a word, you can choose a version for both girls and boys.
We can not rejoice at the fact that the device is waterproof IP67. This means that the child can learn swimming in the pool right on the clock. However, this is meaningless, because in the firmware of smart watches there are no specialized sports applications. Here you can find only the alarm clock, calculator, flashlight function and other small programs that will be useful for the elementary school student. It is felt that the clock was created mainly so that the parents could be notified in time about when the child leaves the permitted area. With this task, the gadget really copes with "excellent". The signal from the satellites is caught almost perfectly - for this, including, it is necessary to thank the support of GLONASS. Coordinates are sent to the server of the firmware developers via mobile networks. However, the manufacturer does not specify what generation of networks this is done. But they warn that a SIM card of the nano SIM format is required here. This sets the gadget apart from competitors who have a slot for larger SIM cards.
Here you can use not only a speaker with a microphone, but also a camera to talk with your child. Also included in the device was the SOS button, which is supposed to be pressed only during some kind of trouble. Well, the battery life of a 400 mAh battery provides a smart watch with autonomous operation. It is easy to guess that it is necessary to charge the gadget every night.
Virtues
- Several color options;
- Children's appearance;
- IP67 waterproof;
- Good touchscreen display;
- Present microphone, speaker and camera;
- Good navigation chip;
- SOS button is not forgotten;
- Added flashlight.
disadvantages
- Hours can seem too big.
Jet kid gear
Rating: 4.7
When designing these children's smart watches, the manufacturer clearly looked at the design of South Korean wearable devices. The name of this model hints at this. However, it must be admitted that the gadget was much simpler. If South Koreans use a very large display, then here its diagonal is only 1.44 inches. The frames around him turned out not big, but huge. Also, there is no rotating bezel - only a touch screen and a few buttons located on the sides of the device are used to control the firmware. Another watch highlights the camera lens located above the display. With it, video is implemented here. Unfortunately, the camera is protected not by glass, but by plastic, which is easily scratched.
Smart watches were created exclusively for boys. And for enough well-fed boys - this is indicated by the large size of the gadget. Four color options are available for the buyer's choice, but pink is not among them. Inside this device is a modest MediaTek MTK2503 processor. Its power is quite enough to run a few applications installed here. Basically, this watch is designed to transfer current coordinates to the creators server. Then parents can get acquainted with them if they log in with a special application on their smartphone. The accuracy of the coordinates is quite high, for which we should thank the support of Russian navigation satellites. For which networks the data is transmitted is not specified. 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. Another product has a Wi-Fi module, with which it can also go online.
The resolution of the built-in LCD display is 240x240 pixels. This makes it easy to read any text that is very little here.It remains to add that the battery capacity here is standard - it does not exceed 400 mAh. You need to charge the smart watch once a day, otherwise the next day the child may encounter an unexpectedly turned off device.
Virtues
- There is a sensor removing the clock from the hand;
- There is an SOS button;
- GLONASS satellites are supported;
- There is a camera, microphone and speaker;
- A good touchscreen display is round;
- Several color options;
- Low cost.
disadvantages
- Very large size;
- There is no option for girls;
- There is no full water protection.
EnBe Children Watch
Rating: 4.6
These smart watches have a familiar square display. Included with them comes a silicone strap. 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 quite light, for which one should thank the plastic case. Surprisingly, such simple and inexpensive smartwatches received moisture protection. However, the IP65 certificate indicates that the gadget caught in our rating can withstand only rain. If you dip the device under water, it will fail, and this will not be a warranty case.
On the front side of the device is a simple touchscreen display, the diagonal of which is 1.22 inches. Unlike most of the analogues considered in this article, the watch cannot display a color picture. But such a screen consumes a minimum amount of electricity. As a result, the gadget is quite enough battery capacity of 450 mAh. It turns out that the display has also contributed to weight loss. It is a pity that he had no effect on the size of the clock - the thickness of the device reaches the standard 15 mm.
The GPS module built in here works without serious complaints. Coordinates from it are transmitted to a special server via cellular networks. Also, they receive voice messages from parents. Alas, the camera is not here, so look at what is happening around will not work. But the manufacturer has endowed the children's smart watches with a Bluetooth module, which is used to synchronize with a smartphone.
Virtues
- There is an SOS button;
- Added application "Schedule";
- Present modules Wi-Fi and Bluetooth;
- There is a GPS chip;
- There is a speaker and microphone;
- Many color options;
- Implemented water protection;
- Low cost.
disadvantages
- There is no camera;
- Monochrome display;
- Not the most convenient charger;
- Short battery life;
- You may accidentally press the SOS button.
Smart Baby Watch G98
Rating: 4.5
Another smart watch 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 device, which in no way can be called childish. However, third-fifth grade students will even like it.
The manufacturer did not limit the color of the screen by introducing a full IPS panel here. The display diagonal is 1.54 inches, and the resolution is 240x240 pixels. Alas, this screen has a separate layer with backlight, 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 the connection of the charger every evening. But the gadget turned out to be very thin, due to which it looks on the child's wrist quite naturally.
I am glad that smart watches got the SOS button. It allows you to send parents a notice that the child is in some kind of trouble. After that, parents directly from their smartphone go to the appropriate application, where they are provided with the full history of movements. You can also start voice chat. You can get acquainted with what is happening around. However, a 0.3-megapixel camera is used as a camera, which creates inferior photos - you will not always be able to recognize familiar objects in them.
For data transmission hours are used cellular networks. You just need to remember to place a microSIM card inside the gadget. Another product can synchronize with a smartphone - it uses Bluetooth 2.0. But Wi-Fi is missing here.
It remains to add that there is moisture protection. However, the manufacturer did not conduct the appropriate tests, and therefore the device did not receive one or another certificate. Therefore, we recommend telling the child that he does not engage in experiments - the very first scuba diving of a watch is more likely to disable it.
Virtues
- The thickness is only 12 mm;
- Implemented some moisture protection;
- There is a microphone, speaker and camera;
- Good IPS-display;
- There is a GPS chip;
- There is an SOS button;
- The ability to use a memory card is available;
- Low cost.
disadvantages
- No wifi support;
- Adult appearance will not please everyone;
- Short autonomous work.
Jet kid scout
Rating: 4.5
Many girls will most like this particular watch. The fact is that their body is painted in pink. The outer color of the silicone strap has the same color (the inner one is gray). However, there are versions with different 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 screen installed here has a resolution of 128x128 pixels. It turns out that the pixel density does not exceed 126 PPI. This means that an experienced eye will immediately notice pixelation. However, such a low resolution may be enough for a kindergarten pupil or a pupil of elementary grades. Also, the manufacturer decided to get rid of the camera. And this is right, because for such money the gadget could get a maximum of 0.3-megapixel module, which would hardly be pleased with any kind of high-quality picture.
The device communicates with the Internet via 2G networks. Their bandwidth is barely enough to send current coordinates. A normal conversation with a child, like on the telephone, is out of the question. However, parents will still be able to send voice messages. Also through the networks of the second generation is sent a notification that the child pressed the SOS button. And it must be taught that it should be pressed only when some serious problems arise.
Interestingly, inside the watch there is an accelerometer, configured to send a warning that the device is removed from the hand. Also under the plastic case there is a 400 mAh battery. Wait a few days of battery life is not worth it - regular use of the navigation chip does its job. By the way, it supports not only GPS satellites, but also the Russian navigation system. This makes the coordinates more accurate. Yes, and satellites are searched much faster.
It should be noted that this smart watch is completely not protected from water. If the child has to walk in the rain, then it is better to remove the gadget somewhere in the backpack.
Virtues
- Children's appearance;
- There is a microphone and speaker;
- There is support for GLONASS;
- There is a sensor removing the clock from the hand;
- The device has an SOS button;
- There is a flashlight;
- Very low cost.
disadvantages
- Low resolution display;
- No moisture protection;
- No Bluetooth and Wi-Fi;
- Data transmission and reception only over 2G networks.
Ginzzu GZ-505
Rating: 4.5
These smart watches can also be painted pink, like their strap. However, the number of copies with a different color is almost identical, so finding a yellow or blue watch for sale is not a big deal. Also, it should be noted that this is one of the most affordable gadgets in our ranking. During sales, you can buy Ginzzu GZ-505 for only 2500 rubles. But the wide functionality of the device for the money to count, of course, is not necessary. In fact, it is a toy that will last about six months for a child.
On the front panel of this watch is a modest 1.22-inch display.The resolution is low, but it is enough for adequate display of icons. More on the case you can detect the holes of the microphone and speaker. The camera is missing, and therefore you will not be able to see what is happening around your child. Somewhere under the plastic case is the MediaTek MTK2503 processor. It must be admitted that this chip has high power consumption, as the above-mentioned screen. As a result, a full charge of a 400 mAh battery is barely enough until the evening. It is sad. The good news is that the clock sends a signal to the parents' smartphone that the battery is running out of power. That is, you will be notified of this fact in time.
As it should be, the gadget sends the child’s GPS coordinates to the device creators server via cellular networks. Also here from time to time Wi-Fi can be used. There is no Bluetooth wireless module - the manufacturer decided to save on this. But he did not deprive the SOS buttons of his creation. Interestingly, the watch can monitor sleep. But, as you might have guessed, this feature will never be used. First, a child in such a large clock is uncomfortable to sleep. Secondly, do you need to charge the device sometime?
Fiction can be considered and moisture protection according to the standard IP55. There is an assumption that in fact the manufacturer did not conduct any tests. The first walk in the rain can disable the gadget. Well, what else did you expect from so cheap children's smart watches?
Virtues
- There is a speaker and microphone;
- Several color options;
- Children's design;
- There is a well-working GPS chip;
- There is an SOS button;
- Wi-Fi module is not forgotten;
- Very low cost.
disadvantages
- Large enough size;
- Short autonomous work;
- Watch can not be called particularly reliable.
Smart Baby Watch Q90
Rating: 4.5
Perhaps it is these smart watches that have the most childish design. Initially it may seem like a normal toy. But if you still turn on the gadget, then you begin to understand that it has a fairly broad functionality. And the 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, the sale already got nine color options for the device. But the device can boast not only that. It includes, albeit a small, but high-quality OLED-display. With a 1.22-inch diagonal, its resolution is 240x240 pixels. So, all the icons look almost perfect. What can I say, the pixel density at the level of 278 PPI does not have every budget smartphone!
Like other smart watches for children, you can insert a SIM card into the Smart Baby Watch Q90 (using the micro SIM format). After that, it remains only to adjust the clock. For this, you will need 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 response and, most importantly, find out its coordinates. Of course, in the application, you can outline the zone, for which the child is not recommended. Or, in this way, you can specify a school playground. If the child has overcome the virtual border - a notification comes to the smartphone. In the case of school, this may mean that it’s time to cook dinner.
There is no camera in this watch. This slightly limits them, 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 much higher speed of data exchange.
Otherwise, this is a typical smart watch for children. They include a fairly capacious battery, which lasts for one day of battery life. In fact, with an OLED screen, the gadget should work much longer, but the manufacturer failed to get an energy efficient GPS chip. Another drawback of the device is the incoming call, which is similar to the way old disc phones rang. Do I need to say that the child wants more diversity?
Virtues
- There is an SOS button;
- Huge selection of colors;
- Nice OLED display;
- There is a microphone and speaker;
- There is a navigation chip;
- Implemented support for Wi-Fi;
- There is a pick-up sensor;
- Low cost;
- Full-fledged children's design.
disadvantages
- Watches can not be called reliable;
- Third generation cellular networks are not supported;
- No moisture protection;
- Not always accurate positioning.
Smart Baby Watch Q50
Rating: 4.4
It is known that the use of smart watches bothers many children quickly. In this case, I do not want to spend big money on their acquisition. Also, a similar device can be purchased as an experiment - in this case, too, I want to save. That is why the model called Smart Baby Watch Q50 is in great demand. The fact is that its cost does not exceed 2000 rubles. It seems that any parents are willing 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 anything like that here. This means that a bracelet from an ordinary watch cannot be attached to such a gadget. But the strap used here can not only be painted in a bright color, it additionally has a pattern of dog tracks - 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. The reduction in performance was due to the use of the simplest monochrome OLED display. Something similar can be found in cheap fitness trackers. But if an adult needs to learn from such a device only the number of perfect steps and time, then the child may not like the lack of colors. With such a clock, he will not receive with educational applications, or anything else interesting - in fact, the screen serves only to show 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 the child. There are no cameras here, but there is a microphone and a speaker. The conversation is carried out on 2G-networks, they are also used to transfer coordinates. Also, the gadget has an SOS button, located under the jack for connecting the charger. Autonomous operation of the watch provides a battery with a capacity of 400 mAh.
Virtues
- Not very big sizes;
- A huge number of color options;
- The strap has a baby design;
- SOS button is not forgotten;
- Very low price;
- Present speaker and microphone;
- There is a GPS chip;
- Implemented moisture protection.
disadvantages
- Communication only via 2G networks;
- No Wi-Fi and Bluetooth;
- The monochrome display will not please everyone.
Conclusion
Such is the list of the most worthy smart watches intended for use by children. As you understand, such a device can be very useful. After its purchase, you are unlikely to worry about where your child is delayed.
Attention! This rating is subjective, is not advertising and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you should consult with a specialist.
