After competing for functions such as taking pictures, beautifying faces, adding friends, and posting moments, children's smart watches return to the positioning of "safety".

On May 15, the Huawei Children's Watch 5 Pro was officially unveiled. According to reports, the watch is equipped with offline positioning 2.0 technology and anti-addiction protection, and supports five-day positioning when the network is off and the power is off. Huawei said that it hopes to return the children's watch industry to the original intention of safety through this product.

Thanks to the communication and positioning functions of children's smart watches, it is produced to protect the personal safety of children. But judging from the current trend, children's smart watches are gradually drifting off.

The reporter noticed that the children's phone watches of brands such as Little Genius, Haojixing, and Skyworth are also pre-installed with chat software, voice assistants, red envelope payment, story songs, web browsers and other applications, among which chat software can send voices, pictures, emojis, or video calls. In the eyes of many parents, children's smart watches are becoming more and more like mobile phones, but whether children's smart watches need these complex functions has become their inner confusion.

What's more, in terms of core capabilities such as positioning and charging battery life, some children's smart watches only have a battery life of 5 hours, and some children's watches can't even fully display children's trajectory positioning.

The original intention and pain point of children's smart watches is to "ensure the safety of children's lives". However, in the eyes of industry insiders, from the current market, many children's smart watches are gradually moving away from the "original intention"; In other words, security features are taking a back seat.

In this regard, relevant people suggest that manufacturers should first consider the physical and mental health of children when designing the functions of children's smart watches; At the same time, parents should also correctly guide their children to use devices such as smart watches, and should set a reasonable time to use them to avoid indulging in them.
