From the age of 3 or 4, you can start using a smartwatch for your child. Of course, it’s possible to start even earlier, although younger children are usually still within a parent’s range.

The smartwatch for kids determines the location via GPS, which is sent to our online platform through the built-in SIM card (GPRS). You log in online and view the location data.

Our top pick is the Spotter smartwatch. It’s a compact smartwatch for kids, specially designed with a child-sized strap. Available in black, pink, and blue.

Simply place the kid’s smartwatch on your child’s wrist before they go outside. You can then view their location online or through the smartphone app. The watch displays your child’s location on a map, and you can zoom in for more precise tracking.

The Spotter GPS smartwatch works throughout Europe, which is not the case for all kids watches. So even when you’re on holiday, the Spotter continues to work just fine. For the most accurate location, we recommend using it outdoors. Indoor use may reduce signal strength, which can affect accuracy.

The Spotter smartwatch includes a motion sensor that detects whether it is moving or stationary. While in motion, it sends a location update every 5 minutes, which you can view instantly in your account or through the Spotter app. When not worn or stationary, it sends a location every 5 hours. You can view all location history for up to 7 days before the data is deleted.

Absolutely. The Spotter smartwatch operates without a subscription. You can choose a prepaid plan for 3, 6, 12, or 24 months. During this period, you can use the Spotter freely. Once it ends, you can pause usage and resume later by topping up your credit. No usage means no extra costs.

With the Spotter smartwatch, you can set up multiple zones. A zone is a virtual circle around a specific area, such as your home, school, or grandparents’ house. Once your child enters or leaves a zone, you receive a notification.

The Spotter smartwatch includes an SOS button. When your child presses it, you immediately receive a push notification on your smartphone along with the location. You can then take action or call your child via the Spotter.

When turning the watch on, you’ll hear a short tone. After that, no sound is emitted unless the watch receives a phone call—in that case, a ringtone plays.

This smartwatch for kids from Spotter includes a handy calling feature. Parents can call the watch and talk directly with their child. It’s ideal for kids who don’t have a phone yet. Only parents can call the Spotter; it cannot make outgoing calls.
