I love the idea of a smartwatch for kids. I would check local laws before spying on your child’s friends or teachers but this could be a cool tool if you need some more intel about what your child is dealing with. Then, mom and dad can listen in to your child’s surroundings. This tells the watch to then call a parent’s phone without the watch making a noise. One of the really cool features is called “super hearing.” Mom or Dad can hop into the app, press the call button and select super hearing. You can also see location history to track your child’s steps. One tap in the app will power up the GPS chip to find a more precise location. The watch initially finds the location using Wi-Fi and LBS to save battery. Of course, one of the most important features, is for parents to find the location of the child. None the less, kids and parents can send recorded voice messages in both directions. It would be nice if they could using voice to text. While parents can send text messages to the watch, kids can not send texts back. The watch can only call or receive messages from contacts added by mom and dad. This allows you to setup the watch, add contacts to the watch or send messages to the watch. The magic of the Tick Talk 2 is in the app that mom or dad installs on their smartphone. There are no games or additional apps on the Tick Talk 2. They can use the watch as a stop watch, set alarms and see a calendar. Your kids can also see chores that you assign to them. There are colorful icons for calling mom and dad and sending messages. In fact the interface on the watch itself is pretty simple. There is a small hole for the microphone and slots on the side for the speaker so your kid can cell you from the phone. On the front is a nice color touchscreen. It also has wi-fi and gps, both used for location. It has a cell phone chip for making calls and sending messages. Inside that watch you’ll find a ton of tech. I will say that my kids didn’t seem to be bothered by the size or weight. It’s still pretty tough to cram all of the tech into a watch without adding some bulk. The watch has a rubber strap that seems like it would hold up to the rigors of a child. On the outside, the Tick Talk 2 looks like many other children’s smartwatches. Enter the child smartwatch! One company is working to sell a kids smartwatch without the commitment of a cell phone carrier. Problem is, some kids just aren’t old enough for a smartphone but we still would love to use tech to know where they are. Smartphones have changed the way we keep an eye on and connect with our kids.
