Imoo Watch Phone Z1 (from €99)

There are plenty of smartwatches aimed at adults, but what about children? Imoo’s Watch Phone Z1 is a child-focused smartwatch with safety in mind. Designed for children aged five to 12, the watch allows parents to stay in touch with their children without needing to hand over a phone. The watch includes features such as video calling, audio messaging, location tracking through GPS and photo sharing, and is compatible with 4G networks, through a nano sim card. It also has chat features, and claims to protect privacy.

Waterproof feature

Video calls are conducted through a 2 megapixel wide-angle camera, and the watch itself is IPX8-rated for water damage. The accompanying app allows parents to set a schedule that locks out certain features during school hours, so children won’t be distracted. And the battery lasts two to three days on a single charge.
