Apple Watch SE
The Apple Watch SE isn't primarily intended as a GPS watch for kids, but it's arguably one of the most advanced and feature-packed smartwatches on the market. What many may not be aware of is that the Apple Watch SE actually has a feature that could make it more enticing for use by children. Normally, an iPhone is required to use an Apple Watch, but Family Setup lets you easily pair your child's smartwatch with your own iPhone, eliminating the need to buy a separate watch for your child.
When you use Family Setting, your child gets their own phone number and you can easily manage the watch from your own iPhone. This gives your child access to all the features Apple Watch SE has to offer, including the ability to make calls, send messages, stream music and download apps. As a parent, you also have the opportunity to schedule school hours for your child. This means that you can limit the functionality of the watch during those times when your child needs to focus on schoolwork.
Another customization that Apple has made for Family Setting is that the activity rings on the watch do not show how many calories the child has burned, but instead how many minutes they have been active. This is a more appropriate and healthy indicator of children's physical activity.
Apple has also included the useful Find app that makes it easy for parents to keep track of their child's whereabouts. You may receive notifications when your child arrives at or leaves specific places, such as home or school.
In summary, Apple Watch SE with Family Setting offers a versatile and secure solution for parents who want to give their children access to the benefits of smartwatches. By using Family Setting, you can easily administer and customize the clock's functions to suit your child's needs and schedule its use for school hours. This makes the Apple Watch SE a useful and customizable tool for both children and parents.
Xplora XGO3
The Xplora go3 is the latest model from Xplora in their base line of children's watches. This new version has some improvements over its predecessor, which makes it even more appealing. One of the significant improvements is increased water resistance compared to the Xplora go2, which provides extra security if the watch is exposed to moisture or water.
Another marked upgrade is found in the camera, which has received a significant improvement. The new camera delivers improved images and provides a better user experience. The battery life has also been extended in the Xplora go3, thanks to the impressive 850mAh battery, which is one of the most powerful batteries in the test. This means that the watch can be used for a long time before it needs to be recharged.
The quality and design of the watch has also become better than previous generations, although the Xplora go3 does not quite reach the luxury of Xplora X6 Play. However, it is important to remember that there is also a significant price difference between these models. The Xplora go3 is still relatively large in size, but it is light and comfortable to carry. The watch is available in different colors, and you also have the option to buy extra bracelets if you want to vary the look.
Xplora go3 is equipped with a pre-installed screen protector to protect against bumps and scratches. If necessary, you can also purchase additional screen protectors as accessories. In summary, the Xplora go3 is an affordable and reliable children's watch that offers great performance for the money. It is especially good as an introduction to mobile phones for children.
