Previously released in the UK, the NickWatch smartwatch for kids has made its way to the US in time for summer. Made by Watchinu under lisence agreement with Nickelodeon, the NickWatch is designed for children ages 5-10 and features games and content pulling from Nickelodeon’s franchises and characters.
The subscription-based companion NickWatch app for parents allows them to safeguard children’s budding freedom with location tracking and communication tools. You can also create a geo-fence around frequented locations like school or a friend’s house and receive a notification when the child has left the area. Caregivers can message and call the user account on the watch, mute the device during school hours and choose who communicates with their child. Internet and regular social media platforms cannot be accessed through the watch.
“We are bringing to market a smartwatch that is not only fun and enriching, but will grow with the children who wear them for years to come,” says said Udi Miron, CEO at Watchinu.
The NickWatch is available now on Walmart.com for $119. New games will be released every few months, along with new stickers and watch face designs, sound effects, musical instruments, voice filters and more.
