The process of letting go between parent and child becomes increasingly difficult from a certain age. Children want to become independent, but being "on their own" often worries parents. To support this process in childhood, the Anio 6 children's smartwatch offers a GPS tracker for your child and all this without mutating into a "helicopter parent". How exactly does it work? Find out here!
What exactly does the GPS tracker function do?
The Anio 6 children's smartwatch offers your child several functions such as phone, chat, stopwatch, pedometer and the GPS tracker function. You can use the Anio Watch parent app to locate your children and display their location on the map. IMPORTANT: If required, the GPS tracking of the children's watch can also be switched off via the Anio Watch parent app! The Anio Smartwatch is currently the only watch on which the tracking can be switched off. Your child cannot deactivate the tracking themselves.
You can track the route to school or to leisure activities with the help of a so-called school travel time. The exact route is then displayed in the app and your child can use Anio 6 to call you as soon as they arrive at their destination. You can also set up safe zones via the Anio app and will be notified as soon as your child enters or leaves such a zone and the position of the watch has been updated.
How you can use the GPS tracker for children
The interval-controlled GPS tracking of the children's watch via GPS/WLAN allows you to always know where your child is. Thanks to the geofence function, you will receive a push notification when the Anio smartwatch enters or leaves a certain area. Once everything is set up via the app, your child can go to school on their own and become more independent.
What is the best way to locate my child?
Quite simply: Set the desired positioning intervals at which the watch should update its position.
Please also note the battery life: The shorter the locating intervals, the higher the battery consumption!
The Anio only has a connection to the GPS satellites outdoors. A position calculated by GPS is marked on the map with the red GPS icon. Inside buildings, the watch usually has no GPS reception. In this case, the watch scans for existing WLAN networks inside buildings. This position is then displayed on the map with the green WIFI logo. After setting up the location intervals of the GPS tracker and the school travel times, your child can set off on their own and you will receive updates on your child's position at the preset intervals.
Children's wristband with GPS?
Most children's wristbands with a GPS function are just that: a children's wristband with a GPS function. All well and good, but it's also great to know whether your child has arrived safely at their destination. They could call you, but your child needs a smartphone for that. The best thing about the Anio 6 GPS tracker for children: your child doesn't need a children's cell phone with location tracking. A tracking function is often integrated into the smartphone. However, as we at Anio stand for an age-appropriate entry into the digital world and therefore consider the smartphone to be too early for children under 10-12 years of age, the Anio 6 children's smartwatch offers the ideal alternative to a children's cell phone with tracking and at the same time offers more functions than a simple children's wristband with GPS. You can locate your child as well as call and chat with them, all without a cell phone for children. This means that a children's wristband with GPS or a smartphone is not necessary, as the Anio 6 children's smartwatch with GPS tracker combines and expands all the necessary functions.
More safety for your child thanks to GPS trackers?
Although you can be more relaxed when you send your child off to school or to visit friends on their own thanks to the GPS tracking of the children's watch, what happens in an emergency? How can your child reach you if you are not nearby? The Anio 6 children's smartwatch has an integrated SOS emergency call button for this purpose. When this SOS button is pressed, 3 predefined emergency numbers are called one after the other until someone picks up. In addition, the last location of the watch is sent to all 3 numbers by SMS message.
Letting children wander the world on their own is a difficult process that requires a lot of trust and must be handled with great care. Therefore, the aspect of safety in childhood should not be underestimated in order to ensure that your little ones are always safe. To support this safety, we want to help children on their way to independence with the help of the Anio 6 children's smartwatch and its functions such as the GPS tracker child or the SOS button.
The Anio 6 children's watch with GPS tracker can support your family in all the above-mentioned areas. Not only thanks to the GPS tracker function, but also thanks to the phone, chat and SOS function and all this without distractions such as games or a camera.
Your Anio Team!
