How to read the table
Each row is one kids watch. The age range is what the maker states, and a value marked "approx." means the range is not stated precisely. A yes means the catalog lists the feature for that model. A blank means it is not listed, not that it is absent.

What each feature means
Calls: the watch can call approved contacts. GPS: the parent can see the watch's location in the parent app, usually through a plan. SOS: the child can press a button to alert chosen contacts. School mode: the watch limits features during set hours. Video: the watch supports video calls. Games: the watch includes simple games. A feature in the list does not tell you how well it works, so read the maker's description.
Plans and apps
Most kids watches need a SIM or eSIM plan to call and to report location, and they need a parent app. A plan is an ongoing cost, and the app is where location and contacts are controlled. Check what the plan covers, where it works, and what happens if you stop paying. See do smartwatches need a data plan and the kids smartwatch guide.
Choosing by age
Younger children usually need simple calls to approved contacts, location and an SOS button. Older children may want messages, games or more freedom, and they may outgrow a kids watch sooner. Choose a watch whose stated age range includes your child now and for a while.
Privacy and safety checklist
- Read what the app collects and who can see the location.
- Set the approved contact list yourself.
- Test the SOS button with the contacts informed.
- Set the school hours and check how it behaves in class.
- Talk with your child about what the watch does. Features vary by model and country. This is not advice on a particular child's safety. Check the maker's current details before buying. See also kids smartwatches and our methodology.
