Where’s your kid? Probably getting into some shenanigans at the local arcade. Those wacky kiddos! But how do you know for sure? What if they’re down by the old spooky ravine, trying to summon the spirit of local legend Harvey Toadstool? That’s why having a smartwatch is so important, but not just any kind of smartwatch. A GPS Smartwatch!

4 Reasons to Get Your Kid a GPS Smartwatch

Always Reachable: Your child can communicate with you wherever you are. Through messages or calls, you’ll always be getting the lowdown on your child’s activities. Like when they’re out of toilet paper!
Location, Location, Location: Smartwatches let you and your kid keep in touch all hours of the day, but a GPS smartwatch lets you literally see where they are. So when your child comes home with a brand new Erector set, you won’t be surprised where it came from!
Cool Factor: Did we mention how awesome and stylish smartwatches are? Kids love how modern, colorful, and “techy” smartwatches look on their wrists. Now they’ll give those Big Bad Beetleborgs a run for their money!
Smartphone Adjacent: A smartwatch from myFirst gives your kiddos all the benefits of a smartphone, with none of the risk. No access to the internet or strangers. All you’ve gotta worry about is whether or not they ever take it off. Gotta scrub those wrists sometime.
Now that you know all the benefits of getting your kid a GPS smartwatch, you’re probably wondering what our number one choice is! This is myFirst after all—we pride ourselves on being pioneers in the child-friendly smartwatch space. So we have quite a few to choose from…
