You love your smart watch, and your children have expressed interest in using one. While you may not want to purchase a full-blown smartwatch for them, there are options on the market made especially for children. We’ll tell you about a few of our favorites in this article, and we’ll educate you on some of the features they offer and the benefits they provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are these watches powered?

Most kids’ smart watches have rechargeable batteries that you can plug into a power source with a USB cable. Typically, this cable will come included with your watch purchase. Some watches have limitations on where they can and can’t be charged – for example, you may have to charge your watch on your computer and not with a USB power bank.  

What can these watches do?

Most of them won’t have calling or texting features like you might expect from a typical smart watch. The most common features on these watches are cameras and games or puzzles. Children can learn as they play on their watches, or they can take pictures with friends (which can then become their watch background). They also have some of the common features that you would expect from any wristwatch, like a stopwatch and an alarm.
