Launched on Kickstarter, this new smartwatch for children has already gained major popularity. Like the Apple Watch, this intelligent accessory allows kids to make video calls and it features a GPS locator, a fitness tracker and even includes a digital friend called the dokiPet. The GPS tracking feature alerts parents of their child's whereabouts right on their smartphone. This watch has been dubbed the world's most advanced smartwatch for kids 6 to 12 years and is also the first ever 3G-enabled smartwatch for children with video calling and messaging capabilities. While not all parents are ready to gift their children with smartphones, the dokiWatch allows children to have an active childhood while parents can enjoy the security of knowing that they're safe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial - 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 - **Child-tracking Devices:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced child-tracking devices that offer features like GPS, fitness trackers, and video calling. - **Smartwatches for Kids:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create smartwatches specifically designed for kids, providing features that cater to their needs and safety. - **Digital Friend Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the development of interactive digital friend technology for children, offering companionship and additional functionality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine the convenience of wearable technology with child-tracking features to create innovative products for parents and kids. - **Telecommunications:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate video calling and messaging capabilities into children-focused smart devices, revolutionizing communication for young users. - **Child Safety Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative child safety products that leverage technology like GPS tracking and fitness monitoring to ensure the well-being of kids. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kid-Inspired Safety Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartwatch-phone-for-kids.md) - [Kid-Safe AI Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinwheel-watch.md) - [Cellular Child-Targeted Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xplora-xgo3.md) - [Advanced Kid-Friendly Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-bounce.md) - [Kid-Friendly Sport Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weariq-kids-smartwatch.md) - [Customizable Child Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x6play-smartwatch.md) - [Educational Finance Child Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mellow-watch.md) - [Cellular-Connected Kids Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-bounce-2.md) - [Child-Friendly Fitness Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitbit-ace-lte.md)
