Child Locating Wristwatches

The Leo GPS Watch Helps You Keep Your Children Out of Harm's Way

— November 16, 2012 — Life-Stages
The Leo GPS Watch is the first of its kind that integrates a cellular device and GPS tracking into a compact wristwatch.

If your child should get into a troublesome situation, they are able to squeeze two buttons on their watch to alert caregivers that something is wrong. A message is then sent to parents and to 911 dispatchers. Parents are also able to go online to the products page and click the locate button to send a wireless alert. The Leo GPS Watch would then send back the longitude and latitude of where the child is. It is ideal for children aged six to 12.

There is also an optional locking device that secures the titanium woven seals of the watch to a child's wrist. So if the lock was tampered with by someone other than a parent, a notifying text message will inform caregivers that something is not right.
Trend Themes
1. Child Tracking Wearables - Developing a line of fashionable GPS tracking devices for children, with added features for safety, is an area of opportunity in disruptive tech innovation.
2. Smartwatch Panic Buttons - Adding a panic button feature to smartwatches that can instantly notify emergency services and caregivers can be a promising development in smartwatch technology.
3. Secure Wearable Locks - Creating foolproof security locks for child wearable devices, that can't be tampered with easily, using materials such as titanium, presents a new opportunity in materials science and engineering.
Industry Implications
1. Wearable Technology - The child tracker wearable technology industry can focus on developing advanced safety and tracking features to make parents feel more secure.
2. Smart Devices - Incorporating panic buttons in smart devices, particularly in wearable technology, can give users an added sense of safety and security.
3. Emergency Response Services - Partnering with device manufacturers and wearable technology providers can enable emergency response services to create a more efficient emergency response system for children in danger.
