The Problem: A Children's Smartwatch That Loses Track of Your Child the Moment They Step Inside
GPS is the headline feature on most children's smartwatches — but GPS has a well-known limitation: it struggles indoors. In schools, shopping centres, sports halls, and any building with thick walls, GPS signal weakens or disappears entirely. For parents who rely on location tracking to know where their child is, this gap in coverage is not a minor inconvenience. It's the moment the watch fails at its most important job.
The 696 Kids 4G Smartwatch solves this with multi-layer positioning: GPS for outdoor accuracy, LBS (Location Based Service) for indoor and urban environments, and WiFi positioning for precise location in any building with a network. Together, these three systems provide continuous, reliable location data regardless of where your child is — inside or outside, in the city or the countryside, at school or at home.
4G Video Calling — See Their Face, Know They're Safe
Two-way 4G video calling gives you visual confirmation that your child is safe and where they should be — not just a voice on the phone. When your child calls you from their wrist, you see their face. When you call them, they see yours. For working parents, for school pick-up logistics, for the first time a child walks home alone, this level of connection changes everything. All calls are restricted to parent-approved contacts, so every conversation is safe and appropriate.
LBS & WiFi Positioning — Location That Works Indoors
LBS triangulation uses mobile network towers to determine your child's location when GPS signal is unavailable — providing coverage in environments where satellite-based tracking fails. WiFi positioning adds a third layer, using nearby WiFi networks to pinpoint location with high accuracy inside buildings. The result is a location system that works continuously, not just when conditions are ideal. Parents get reliable location data throughout the school day, not just during outdoor breaks.
Voice Calls — Simple, Safe Communication
Beyond video calling, the watch supports standard voice calls — giving children a simple, reliable way to reach you when a full video call isn't needed. The one-touch calling interface means even young children can reach a parent instantly, without navigating menus or remembering numbers. All calls are restricted to parent-approved contacts for complete safety.
Waterproof — Built for Real Children's Lives
Children don't stop to think about whether their watch can handle rain, splashes, or the general chaos of an active day. The waterproof construction means they don't have to. It survives the playground, the sports field, hand-washing, and unexpected downpours without damage — the kind of durability that means this watch lasts through the school year and beyond.
Built-In Calculator — A Practical Tool for Students
The built-in calculator is the feature that makes this watch genuinely useful for older children and students. Whether they need to check a sum in class, calculate a tip, or work through a maths problem on the go, the calculator is always on their wrist and always accessible. It's the kind of practical detail that makes this watch a daily tool, not just a safety device.
