The hereO watch is a children's watch with a GPS tracking device that lets parents track their kids. The watch pairs with a smartphone app that shows the child's whereabouts. It can also display where other family members are by connecting with the apps on their devices.
While the hereO is not the only GPS child-tracking device on the market, it is unique in that it allows parents to set a 'virtual fence' around certain areas such as the front lawn, backyard or a school by using the map included in the hereO app. If a child crosses this virtual fence, a notification will be sent to the app.
The inventors of the hereO watch are currently trying to raise funds on crowdfunding website Indiegogo to make their project a reality.
