‘Is my kid okay? Did they reach school safely?’ Parents feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility for the safety and well-being of their children, right from the moment they are born.

To make parenting easier, Mumbai-based chemical engineer turned entrepreneur Abhishek Baheti developed a smart solution. In 2022, he introduced smartwatches for kids that are not regular smartwatches with Bluetooth connectivity. Instead, these are built on safety, connectivity, and curiosity fundamentals.

Apart from an activity tracker and an in-built music player, these smartwatches come with an in-built GPS chipset that helps track the location of kids. It has a 4G calling facility to remain connected with parents and has an emergency SOS Button. With its anti-removal theft sensor, the smartwatch notifies the parents when the device is removed from the wrist of the kid. It also has an inbuilt object detection scanner for fun learning.

“Unlike Bluetooth smartwatches, these smartwatches are an independent device in your hand designed keeping the safety and connectivity of children in mind,” the founder and director of WatchOut Wearables, a technology-driven company, tells The Better India.

“For example, if the kid is in India and the parents are living in some other country, they will be able to video call him. They will be able to track the GPS location of the kid to know their whereabouts if they are in a radius that is safe. It is a very controlled device. It is like a phone on your wrist,” adds the 32-year-old entrepreneur.
