You better watch out!
Here are Source Kids’ top picks of 5 smart watches we love.
1 – BIGGERFIVE FITNESS TRACKER WATCH
A budget-friendly option, but still brimming with features, this smartwatch is ideal for kids aged five to 18 years, supporting them, and their health, throughout their school years. It automatically tracks steps, heart rate and sleep.
In addition to a stopwatch function, the compact and sturdy watch can set up to 10 alarms, so you can have a different reminder for wake up, medication, study, toilet breaks, even drinking reminders. It’s waterproof, so they can keep it on 24/7, and the battery lasts up to a week.

It even comes with geo-fencing, so you can set up a “safe zone” when kids are out to play. If your child goes outside that zone, you will be notified with a text message. It features SMS, video and voice calling as well as an SOS button, which instantly calls you.
