Traditional Kids Smartwatch VS 4G Calling Kids Smartwatch with GPS
Traditional Kids Smartwatch:
A traditional kids smartwatch is a device composed of a touchscreen, battery, speaker, microphone, and camera. It can connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allowing children to receive notifications, play games, take photos, and record voice messages. Some traditional kids smartwatches also have fitness tracking features, such as a pedometer, heart rate monitor, and sleep tracker. Traditional kids smartwatches do not have a SIM card slot and cannot independently make or receive calls or texts.
In this context, a traditional kids smartwatch does not refer to old-fashioned clock-style designed watches but rather to kids smart electronic watches without 4G calling and GPS positioning features. Traditional kids smartwatches focus more on the education and growth of children. These watches often come with practical educational features such as learning cards, listening to music, listening to stories, habit formation, time learning, pedometer, as well as photography and video recording functions. They aim to provide a platform for children to learn while playing, fostering good habits and enhancing parent-child communication and interaction.
For example, Cheertone kids smart educational watch CT-W25 not only includes the mentioned practical features but also features a cool appearance and a colorful ambient light design, breaking the traditional design concept of kids watches. It can be considered a milestone in innovative design among similar watches and toys on the market.

The kids sports watch CT-S2, with IP68 waterproof capability, can help children record real-time data for six different sports modes, including swimming, running, and playing soccer. Even as a traditional kids sports watch, CT-S2 supports connecting to the phone via Bluetooth using the Gubi-Fit app to view all the data on the watch. Additionally, through the app, users can change various exquisite dials, switch languages, check heart rate and temperature, and view weather conditions.
4G Calling Kids Smartwatch with GPS:
Unlike traditional kids smartwatches, 4G calling kids smartwatches with GPS focus more on maintaining constant contact between parents and children, ensuring the child's safety visually. Instead of merely being a kids smartwatch, it can be considered a mini phone designed specifically for children.

Parents can create to-do lists for their children, and when completed, children can earn corresponding point rewards to exchange for virtual prizes.
If connected to the Gabb Move app, it transforms into a kids fitness tracking watch, monitoring real-time movement data for activities like running and cycling. Continuously refreshing their exercise records can encourage children to enjoy physical activity and develop a love for sports.
Choosing Traditional Kids Smartwatch or 4G Calling Kids Smartwatch?
As a dealer or retailer, the inclination is often towards choosing quality products that sell well and offer a higher profit margin. With 17 years of experience in the kids electronic toy manufacturing industry, Cheertone will analyze from the following three aspects, based on past experience working with clients, to help you make the most suitable choice:
1. Product Usage Cost:
Generally, traditional kids smartwatches are less expensive than 4G calling kids smartwatches. The former follows a buyout purchase model, while the latter usually requires purchasing additional SIM cards or subscribing to communication plans for a certain period. In comparison, the latter significantly increases the consumer's initial purchase and ongoing usage costs, which may lead to consumer hesitation due to price concerns. However, this also needs to be analyzed in conjunction with market demands and consumer purchasing power in different regions. In developed areas, consumers may have sufficient purchasing power to support expensive product prices. However, in impoverished regions, the product may not perform as well due to its high price.
2. Product Complaint Issues:
Based on our experience with past client projects, the complaint rate of traditional kids smartwatches is much lower than that of kids calling smartwatches. Most issues with traditional kids smartwatches are related to operation and data storage. In contrast, feedback from our past project with the kids calling smartwatch CT-W20C mostly concerned communication signal issues. This does not refer to a problem with the W20C's communication signal itself but rather that the quality of communication signals depends on the number of network base stations in different countries and regions.
In developed areas, the coverage of network base stations is broader, while in remote and impoverished areas, it is the opposite. Therefore, the communication signal quality of kids calling smartwatches depends on the usage environment at the time, significantly increasing the complaint rate of such products.
3.Security of Information Data:
We are in the era of interconnected devices, where increasing connectivity between different devices implies a growing risk of security vulnerabilities. This is especially evident in kids smartwatches, which are used for kids. According to a research report from the University of Münster Applied Sciences in Germany, researchers conducted tests on the security of six different brands of kids smartwatches. These watches are designed for sending and receiving voice and text messages, allowing parents to track their child's location through a smartphone application.
Researchers found that hackers could exploit these functions, utilizing the watch's GPS positioning to track the targeted child's location. What's more concerning is that hackers could intercept communication between parents and children, record audio from the child's surroundings, and eavesdrop. Additionally, as early as 2019, the European Commission recalled a children-centered smartwatch.
Therefore, kids smartwatches, especially those with calling capabilities, are at risk of information leakage. This issue can severely impact consumer trust. In this scenario, traditional kids smartwatches don't face these problems. They don't need to connect to networks and complex social media applications, mitigating the risk of information leakage to some extent and making them safer.
Conclusion:
Considering the analysis of the above three factors, you likely have a clear understanding of whether to choose a traditional kids smartwatch or a kids calling smartwatch. Technological advancements have undoubtedly brought more convenience and smoother experiences for humans. However, a high-quality product must be durable, practical, and easy to use. With 17 years of experience in the kids electronic toy manufacturer, we believe that traditional kids smartwatches are more likely to contribute to a child's growth and bring the purest joy to children. We have been collaborating with numerous well-known brands to ensure this.
