Never lose your kids and call each other!
Of course, as a father or mother, you always want to ensure the safety of your children. A GPS watch for children can help with this. In this blog post, I discuss the different features and types of GPS watches so that you as a parent can make the best choice to protect your child. From accurate location tracking to sending and receiving messages, everything is covered!
My name is Bas, and I will outline the choices we made in developing our GPS watches for children.
As a parent, you naturally want your son or daughter to be safe while gaining more independence. A GPS watch can help with this and has many advantages. It ensures that your child is less likely to need a smartphone and can always go outside to play. In addition, this reduces your child’s screen time because they can play outside and get more exercise. We find it very important that the watch has no games, so that children are encouraged to play outside.
There are several GPS watches for children on the market with different functions. It is important to look at this carefully so you can choose the watch that best suits your family. Pay attention to the differences in features and which watch best suits your child’s needs.
There is a huge range in terms of smartwatches for children with GPS. Some models have a video call function and an SOS button in addition to a GPS tracker, while other smartwatches also offer heart rate function or medication reminders for children with medication needs.
GPS watches for children come with various features, such as (video) calling functions and SOS buttons.
A children’s watch should be lumber-proof and solid because children will play with it. So we also took this into account when developing the products.
There are also large price differences in watches, this is because lower quality product and after sale service are used.
A GPS watch for children offers many features that provide safety and peace of mind for parents. For example, the watch can be used to make calls to a number of set numbers and has an SOS button in case of emergency. In addition, it is possible to send and receive messages through the parent app and has KUUS. W2 model even a video calling and selfie function. The battery should last at least 1 day so children can enjoy playing outside.

The most important function, of course, is locating your children. This provides extra safety and security in situations when your son or daughter is out and about alone. Most watches have several useful features for tracking GPS locations, such as:
Our W2 watch and our W3 model offer even more accurate GPS determination through the 4G network, giving you an even better idea of where your child is. The battery life is also excellent and prolonged use will not be a problem.
It is a nice feeling that children on their way to school or to the playground can quickly get in touch should the need arise. The smartwatches for children work with a SIM card, giving them their own 06 number. Children can thus make and receive calls from preset safe numbers. Thus, numbers not included here cannot call the child watch.
With our child GPS watch, up to 10 preset numbers can be stored in the phone book. The call function is an important part of the watch because it allows your child to quickly contact you in case of an emergency or if something is wrong.

Video calling is often cheaper than mobile calling! 1 minute of video calling with a GPS watch costs about 9 MB per minute, so that’s €0.09.
Many parents use a GPS watch as their children’s first phone. With the messages function, a message can be sent from the KUUS.watch app to the children’s smartwatch. The child can then send a message back. The watches do not work with Whatsapp or other messaging service to prevent unwanted contact with children.
As a parent, it is important to teach children the basics of time. With this GPS watch, children can learn to watch both digital and analog clock. These are the 12 available dials that can be practiced on:
This gives children a playful understanding of what time it is and how long certain activities take.In addition to these features, the GPS watch for children also offers other convenient clock options such as setting an alarm clock or other alarm.
Do your kids like to play with water on a hot summer day? Our children’s GPS watches are splashproof. So a fight with water balloons or water guns is not a problem. However, we do not recommend swimming with the watches to avoid damage.
The GPS watch connects to the strongest signal source (4G / LBS) for accurate location determination. Thanks to multiple available frequencies, the site’s coverage is even better. This ensures that parents always know where their child is and can act quickly in case of an emergency.
It is important that the watch can last at least 1 day, so like a smartphone, it can be charged overnight. Then go for a battery of at least 750 mAh. The battery life of the KUUS. watches is about a day and a half (1,000 mAh).
Set medication reminders to make sure your child never misses his doses. Our voice medicine reminder feature is “speech-based,” which means it is also suitable for illiterate or young children. The battery life of our best GPS tracker child watches won’t disappoint you, so you don’t have to worry about a dead battery when the alarm goes off to remind your son or daughter of his medication.
