Review: Emergency smartwatch with AI keeps kids safe but away from cellphones

MANILA, Philippines — Want to keep track of your kids but don't want to give them a mobile phone yet?

In uncertain times nowadays, like earthquakes, typhoons and whatnot, tracking one's child has become necessary.

Xiaomi recently introduced its new Smart Kids Watch that prioritizes child safety with advanced features and real-time tracking. Although it has some of a mobile phone's common apps and features like taking photos, a clock, an alarm clock, call features, and wellness tracking, since it is not a mobile phone, it lessens parents' worry that their kids would just lose themselves in games and gadgets when bored.

Since it comes in colors that flatter most kids' uniforms, the watch is fashionable and gives that "secret agent" feel, thus, they would not be reprimanded of using a gadget in school. The design, however, is gender- and age-neutral, so even adults might find it appealing to use.

With these features, the watch is an ideal starter smart wearable product that equips and empowers kids with safety and fun on their wrists.
