How It Works – Get Started with Qlokkie

What is a GPS watch child?

A children's GPS watch is an excellent way to communicate with your child and keep an eye on them at all times. So, is a GPS watch for your child a good idea? Quite nice, isn't it... As a parent you know better than anyone what it can be like if you don't know where your children hang out. Even though there may be nothing wrong, it's best to keep an eye on things. But then you still have to be able to do that when you are remote. Your children will eventually reach the age where they can go just a little further from the house and they disappear from your sight. Then it is very nice if your child wears a smartwatch with GPS!

The GPS watch is actually a mobile phone, only on your wrist. You work with a SIM card that you place in the watch ready for use. This makes your watch just like a mobile phone, because you can make and receive calls with it. Various data are exchanged via the internet connection, such as the location of the watch. This is forwarded to the parents' telephone so that they can keep an eye on this. The data consumption is low and is deducted from the prepaid credit of the SIM card.

In addition to normal calling, it is also possible to make video calls with your child via the watch! It is much more fun if your child also looks at you while calling, so that you can have better contact.

The functionalities

After briefly explaining how the watch works above, we would like to go into more detail about all the functions of the watch and the accompanying app.

Live GPS location via free application on your mobile phone
The GPS watch comes with a free app for your phone that allows you to always see where your child is. Using the smart 'electronic fence' you can set an area within which your child is allowed to be. You will receive a notification via text message when this area is exceeded, as well as a low battery status and anti-shut down notification when the watch is attempted to be turned off and/or taken off.

Always in touch thanks to voice and video calling
You can also call your child (video) and send (voice) messages. The messages can be text messages or voice messages. The watch vibrates when receiving calls or messages. The messages will be shown on the watch screen. There is one GPS Watch Child with Whatsapp model in our range. That's the Kiddo Pro.

SOS Alarm functions
There is an SOS button on the side of the GPS watch. By pressing this button your child can always call you. Up to 3 SOS numbers can be set. The watch does not have to be connected to a telephone or WiFi thanks to the included SIM card.

Waterproof
The GPS watches are IP67 certified. This means that the watches are completely dustproof and waterproof up to a depth of 1 meter. Please note: if you swim or shower with it, there is a chance that the watch will break; water can penetrate into places and cause permanent damage. If you drop it into a bucket of water or if it gets splashed while playing, there is no problem.

Can be used worldwide, even on holiday
The 4G network on this watch is unique. This way you can be sure of the best coverage and functionality of the smartwatch and you can call on your child's location anywhere in the world at any time.

Includes free SIM card
All Qlokkie children's watches are supplied with a SIM card so that you can use the full functionalities of the watch. It is important to install a SIM card to make the GPS watch ready for use. Thanks to the SIM card, the watch can send the GPS location and calls can be made to and from the watch.

Why buy a child's GPS watch

Now you're probably thinking, but why should I buy a GPS watch for children? We have listed a number of reasons that will certainly make you consider it.

You always know where your child is
You can always keep an eye on where your child is via the app on your phone. This function is very useful when you are at home and your child is playing outside. Even when your child goes to school, you can always check your child's exact location. This also allows your child to experience more freedom.

You stimulate the movement
Our watches keep track of how many steps your child takes. You can also give your child rewards for this, so you motivate your child with this. Your child will probably also go outside independently more often because you as a parent no longer have to accompany them. For example, a visit to the playground is done faster.

You are always available for your child
You can reach your child at any time because our children's smartwatches have a SIM card. You can even send photos and messages to each other. You can set who your child can receive messages from, so that your child cannot receive messages from a stranger. If your child is playing in the playground and it is dinner time, you can simply call your child.

More accessible than a telephone
Not every child is old enough to have a phone. For children who do have it, a children's GPS watch might be a better idea. It's easier to forget a phone than a watch. You shouldn't forget to put a phone in your pocket, while you often just keep a watch on your wrist.

Discovering the digital world
Besides the fact that it is super useful for you as a parent to keep an eye on your child, it is also a fun toy for your child. This way, your child is introduced to the digital world at a young age. For example, it contains a number of simple but educational games, such as arithmetic problems. You can also adjust various themes in the watch.
