A Chinese tech giant has just unveiled its latest smartwatch designed especially for children. Equipped with advanced features like AI location tracking and HD video calling, this high-tech timepiece promises to appeal to parents concerned about the safety of their little ones. Let's dive into the details of this new gadget that could be a game-changer in the children's smartwatch market.

A concentrate of technology on children's wrists

This new connected watch for children does not skimp on technical characteristics:

  • A 1.4-inch TFT screen offering a clear and intuitive interface
  • A 2MP front camera with a wide field of vision for immersive video calls
  • 4G LTE connectivity ensuring seamless communication (compatible with major Chinese operators)
  • 48MB RAM and 256MB internal storage for smooth performance
  • A 950 mAh battery combined with an energy-efficient chip for optimized autonomy
  • Child safety at the heart of the system

    The flagship feature of this smartwatch is undoubtedly its AI location system. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, parents can:

    – Track their child’s location in real time, including inside over 4,000 major shopping malls and train stations in China– Set safe zones and receive alerts if the child leaves them– View 90 days of movement history

    These features aim to provide peace of mind to parents while allowing children to gain independence.

    A watch that encourages physical activity

    Beyond the security aspect, this connected watch is also a tool to promote a healthy lifestyle among children. It offers :

  • Guided sports programs such as jumping rope, running or long jump
  • Water resistance up to 20 meters allowing it to be worn without fear during aquatic activities
  • An unbeatable price

    One of the major advantages of this connected watch is its launch price set at around €48. This aggressive pricing positioning could well allow it to quickly establish itself on the market of connected watches for children.

    Available in three colors (blue, green and pink), it will be sold in China from July 1, 2024.

    An innovation that raises questions

    While the features of this connected watch for children are impressive, they also raise questions:

    – What impact on the privacy and autonomy of children? – How to guarantee the security of the data collected? – What influence on the psychological development of children who are constantly “under surveillance”?

    These questions deserve to be asked and debated as this type of device becomes more widespread.

    A booming market

    The launch of this smartwatch comes in a context of strong growth in the market for connected objects for children. Analysts predict a significant increase in sales in the coming years, driven by:

  • Parents' growing safety concerns
  • The appeal of new technologies to children
  • Lower production costs make these devices more affordable
  • This new smartwatch could well accelerate this trend by offering advanced features at an attractive price.

    Whether you are excited by its possibilities or worried about its implications, this connected watch for children undeniably marks a new stage in the evolution of parental monitoring technologies. It reminds us that technological innovation, while it can provide solutions, also raises ethical questions that must be addressed collectively.
