As a product for a specific market, children's watches don't need excessive performance and complicated functions, they only need to do the most basic positioning and tracking and guarantee communication, basically even if it is a qualified product. For parents, the child's location data is one of the most concerned information.
In the industry's view, children's products are more difficult to build compared to adult products, one of the main reasons is that manufacturers need to balance the needs of children and parents: on the one hand, parents need to keep track of the child's dynamics to ensure that the child can grow up safely and healthily; on the other hand, today's teenagers are more autonomous, and need to own a certain amount of their own privacy and space for activities.
In this regard, relevant experts said that children's smartphone manufacturers should dig deep into the industry moat through in-depth insight into the needs of users, and constantly carry out technological research and development and product innovation.
Taking children's smartwatch brand Little Genius as an example, the recently launched new product Z9 is equipped with an independent positioning GPS chip, an exclusive barometer, a five-fold sensor, and 3DSYS upgraded algorithms and low-power WIFI. for example, parents can learn where the child has stayed based on the trajectory heatmap; when the child is near the water, the watch can also be given a reminder.
In terms of health monitoring, Little Genius combines the dynamic monitoring of the temperature curve in hospitals, and improves the accuracy of temperature measurement after combining a large number of users' fever data model information through physiological medical research + biological modeling. In addition, it also includes all-day heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen monitoring, as well as concentration, mood, nap and energy monitoring, etc. In terms of socialization, Little Genius has independently developed a social application to encourage children to make friends in the real world and promote the safe and healthy development of children's online socialization.
Some organizations expect that looking ahead, the children's smartwatch industry is expected to continue to maintain a high growth trend, and the market size will further expand. In terms of technology, smartwatches will be constantly updated with more features, such as AI voice assistant, virtual security fence, real-time positioning and other functions, to meet the changing needs of consumers.
But at the same time, some experts remind, behind the market boom, function redundancy, induced consumption, invasion of privacy and other phenomena occur from time to time, children's smartwatch manufacturers should pay attention to further improve the information security of the watch, to avoid excessive entertainment children's watches, standardize the development of the industry, so children's smartwatches return to the "children's attributes".
