Tech Data Backs Demand for Childrens’ Smartwatches

Tech Data in the UK has signed up with Tech sixty four to sell the Gator Watch, aimed at children between five and ten years old. The watch allows parents to keep track of their children using a combination of GPS, GSM and Wi-Fi. There is an SOS button that allows contact to three emergency contacts and voice calls can be made only to two pre-defined numbers. The watch is waterproof and runs on multiple networks, with monthly service plans available including options for European roaming. The watch allows geo-fencing, and a safe zone alarm setting alerts parents when children stray beyond their set limits. The Gator Watch is light, water-resistant and will work for up to four days on stand-by. It comes in blue, pink or black. It costs £99 and monthly fees start from £9.00
