About Watchout Wearables Brand
Watch out for wearables make smartwatches for kids. They are made on three fundamentals and these are safety, connectivity and curiosity. For safety, it has a GPS tracker and parents can track their child’s location with the help of it. The second important feature is connectivity as the child and parent can connect with each other through video calls and audio calls anytime and anywhere. The latest feature is curiosity. The watch comes with an inbuilt object detection scanner so that the children can scan objects to learn their meaning and definition and can have fun learning. The different thing about this watch is that it has a SIM slot whereas the other watches in the market do not have this feature. This watch is an independent device and can function in the absence of a phone. They launched this product in 2022 and now more than 3000 parents and their children use this product.
Abhishek Baheti’s vision is to offer a device to children that will keep them smart and safe as well. The straps of the watch are made of breathable soft silicon so that kids can wear it comfortably. The watch has elevated edges so if it falls the screen will not get damaged. There is a 0.5-megapixel camera so that selfies and video calls can be done there. There is a sim slot and a Nano sim can be inserted into it. An SOS button is there and if the child presses and holds the button for 3 seconds then the parents will get a notification on the last location and a 30-second surrounding recording will also be sent. The back of the watch has an anti-take-off sensor. The watch design is copyrighted. In the next launch, there is a watch for senior citizens but there is a slide difference in the safety features as it has an anti-fall alarm.
