The question is increasingly being asked: do you give your child a smartphone or do you opt for a GPS watch? Parents want to be able to reach their child, but also want to protect them from too much screen time, online dangers and distractions. That is why more and more parents are choosing a GPS watch as a safe and child-friendly alternative. In this article we explain why.
📍 A GPS watch only gives what is needed — no noise
A smartphone offers access to social media, the internet and games. That sounds fun, but for young children it can quickly become too much.
A GPS watch is limited to the functions that are really important:
-
Location determination via GPS
-
Calling with preset contacts
-
SOS button in case of emergency
No distractions, no risk of unwanted apps or contacts.
📞 Always reachable — without the risks of a telephone
Parents want to be able to call their child or send a quick message. With a GPS watch, this is perfectly possible, but without your child having access to TikTok, WhatsApp groups or strange phone calls.
All contacts are preset via the app, so you decide who can call.
🧭 Play outside safely with peace of mind for parents
The built-in GPS makes it possible to request the location of your child at any time. Ideal if your child is playing outside, on the way to school, or is staying away a little longer than planned.
The accompanying app shows you exactly where they are — and you can contact them directly if necessary.
⛔ No internet, no distractions, no risks
With a GPS watch:
-
Can't your child get lost in YouTube or social media?
-
There is no internet access or advertisements
-
Is screen time limited to a few minutes per day?
This means: less fighting over “phone time” and more peace and quiet for both parent and child.
🧒 Specially designed for young children
A GPS watch is light, sturdy and water-resistant. It is easy to operate: one press of a button is enough for contact. This makes it ideal for children between 6 and 12 years old.
In addition, they look nice, which makes children enjoy wearing the watch.
✅ GPS watch as a smart first step
A smartphone will come later. For now, a GPS watch is the perfect compromise: accessible, safe and child-friendly. It offers parents peace of mind and children freedom.
