The watch pairs with a [smartphone app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-safety-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Findmykids-App) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gps-tracking Devices:** GPS tracking devices are becoming increasingly popular for parents to monitor their children's whereabouts. - **Location-based Services:** Location-based services are being integrated into wearable devices to provide real-time tracking and notifications. - **Virtual Fencing:** Virtual fencing technology is being developed to alert parents when their child crosses a predefined boundary. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wearable Technology:** The wearable technology industry has opportunities to innovate with GPS tracking features for children's devices. - **Smartphone Applications:** Smartphone application developers can create innovative apps that provide real-time location tracking for parents. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Crowdfunding platforms can support projects like hereO watch that introduce new GPS-tracking innovations for children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Child-Friendly Safety Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gizmo-watch-3-adventure.md) - [Kid-Inspired Safety Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartwatch-phone-for-kids.md) - [Location-Tracking Safety Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-protect-gps-tracker.md) - [Cellular Child-Targeted Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xplora-xgo3.md) - [Toddler Health-Tracking Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/littlebird.md) - [Kid-Safe AI Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinwheel-watch.md) - [Advanced Kid-Friendly Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-bounce.md) - [Cellular-Connected Kids Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-bounce-2.md) - [Kid-Friendly Sport Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weariq-kids-smartwatch.md)
