Parents are looking to have their children as tech-fluent as possible, so the new Kurio kids watch is designed as a smartwatch designed with young users in mind. Packed with 20 preloaded apps, the Kurio Watch offers children the ability to play games, listen to music and even edit photos they take with the built-in camera.
Packed with 128MB of storage, the Kurio Watch can be upgraded with more storage thanks to the incorporated microSD slot on the device. Bluetooth connectivity and accelerometer technology round off the Kurio kids watch to be a capable smartwatch for younger users to enjoy.
While the idea of smartwatches for kids is nothing new, we're seeing the devices become more sophisticated than ever and closer to adult versions. This speaks to how younger consumers are evolving to be more tech-literate earlier than ever.
