Do you own a fitness tracker of any sort? I absolutely love mine. Its nothing fancy but it was a mother’s day gift a few years ago and I’ve worn it every day since then. I just buy replacement straps and change them a couple of times a year.

I find it a really good way of checking on my daily steps and a great way to remind me to move my body on days when I need to be at my desk.

Obviously it’s also a good way to keep a track on the time. One of the children has been trying out the imoo Z1 smart watch recently.

What we thought

In general I think kids smartwatches are a great idea. Our favourite features as a family are calling and messaging, counting steps and the fact that the watch is so resistant to water. As a parent, I also value the GPS location, as it gives me additional peace of mind.

The App is relatively easy to navigate. The process of binding was something we struggled a bit with, but this was overcome. Once the watch is set up it’s really useful. The only negative for us really was we didn’t feel the charge lasted that long, compared to say the fitness tracker watch I use.

If you are looking for a multiple-function smart watch for your child, this would be a really good option.
