A smart kids' watch with a pedometer
Getting children away from the TV, tablet, and so on is becoming an increasingly greater challenge for parents in today's world. To motivate children to go outside and exercise, it should be fun. The Anio 5 is a smart kids' watch with a pedometer that combines fun with exercise. How exactly does it work? You'll find out here!
How exactly does the kids' watch pedometer work?
The Anio 5 kids' smartwatch offers your child several features such as phone, chat, GPS tracking, a stopwatch, and a pedometer. A daily step goal can be set via the Anio Watch Parent App, which your child should aim to achieve every day. The progress is then displayed on the screen throughout the day. This way, your child can start the day motivated with the goal in mind.

As soon as your child has reached the daily step goal and the bar on the kids' watch pedometer is full, there is an audiovisual reward. The well-deserved trophy is then displayed on the Anio 5 screen, and a victory tune plays as a reward. If the daily goal is too easy, you can, of course, increase it in the app at any time and change it as needed!
How you can use the kids' watch with a pedometer
In addition to the daily goal of filling the bar, you can also show your child other challenges to incorporate more exercise into everyday life.
The Anio 5 Kids' Smartwatch is like it was made for school children. Before your child sets off alone on the way to school, let them estimate how many steps are needed to get there. Once they arrive at school, they can call you or send you a voice message to tell you how many steps it actually was. The kids' watch pedometer can also be combined great with friends. Here, fun games can promote more exercise together. Here are a few ideas we have put together:
Marching in place
This game might sound a bit unusual at first. However, the idea is to collect as many steps as possible by marching in place. The time is agreed upon beforehand, and then you can get started. The game is a real workout, but it turns a simple afternoon of play into a fun challenge.
Who-can-do-more
Play this challenge together with friends. Who can collect more steps with the kids' watch pedometer during a stroll or hike? The prize for the winner should be agreed upon beforehand.
Take-a-guess
A start and end point are set beforehand. Whoever correctly guesses how many steps it takes to get there receives a reward. Of course, the whole thing is checked by the children walking the route with the kids' watch with a pedometer.
Fitness tracker for children?
Most fitness trackers for children measure steps, distances, time, and calories. But should or must children really measure calories? Every family has to answer this question for itself. Note: If children are constantly confronted with numerical values regarding calories, exercise, and performance even at a young age, this can potentially lead to unhealthy behaviors or damaged self-confidence. Often, it is enough for children to have a pedometer to measure their daily progress.
A pedometer function is often integrated into a smartphone. However, since we at Anio stand for an age-appropriate start into the digital world and therefore consider a smartphone too early for children under 10-12 years old, the Anio 5 kids' smartwatch offers the ideal alternative to a smartphone and simultaneously offers more features than a simple fitness tracker for children. This way, steps can be counted, calls made, and chats sent—all without a mobile phone for children. Since we also do away with cameras, games, and other distractions, the Anio 5 is also suitable for everyday school life.
Thus, no fitness tracker for children or smartphone is necessary, as the Anio 5 smart kids' watch with a pedometer combines and expands all the necessary features.
Importance of exercise for children
Children sit at school, while eating, in front of the TV, or relaxing on the sofa. Therefore, balance in the form of exercise is essential. The consequences of a lack of exercise in children can lead to poor physical fitness, posture problems, and even reduced performance. To avoid this, we want to motivate children to exercise more in everyday life with the help of the Anio 5 Kids' Smartwatch and its features such as the kids' watch pedometer or the stopwatch.
The Anio 5 kids' watch with a pedometer can support your family in all the points mentioned above. Not only thanks to the pedometer function, but also thanks to the phone, chat, and GPS functions—and all without distractions such as games or a camera.
Your Anio Team!
