The best smartwatch for kids
If you want to buy a smartwatch for your children, you are faced with a difficult choice. You don’t want to spend (too) much, but of course it shouldn’t be a mess either. In addition, the smartwatches are often not suitable for adults because they are too large. Don’t worry: we give you three solutions that don’t cost too much!
Deplay KidsWatch: many functions with 4G
Are you looking for a complete smartwatch with an affordable price for your children? Then the Deplay 4G KidsWatch (93 euros) perhaps the smartwatch for your offspring. The smartwatch has many functions that you also see on the Apple Watch. For example, think of a heart rate monitor, thermometer, an SOS button and more. You can also make calls and video calls with it. This smartwatch from Deplay is also (splash) waterproof.
Also handy: thanks to the GPS function, you can easily track your offspring via an app. The smartwatch has a battery life of about 25 hours and is suitable for iOS and Android. The KidsWatch also has 4G and a SIM card (with 5 euro credit) is included.
Kaacly Smartwatch: good budget choice
Would you rather not spend that much? Then the Kaacly smartwatch (36.99 euros) a good option. Despite the low price, this smartwatch has quite a few functions. The smart watch for kids has 26 games, a calorie and step counter, phone calls, SOS function, video function, MP3 music player, flashlight and more.
The smartwatch has a SIM card and support for the 2G network. NB! Many providers will stop supporting 2G in the Netherlands from June 1. Only KPN and Vodafone (plus the associated providers) will offer 2G until December 2025.
Apple Watch for Kids: Premium Features
Of course you can also choose to buy an Apple Watch. If you opt for a slightly older (refurbished) model, it won’t even cost you that much. Of course, it’s great if you still have an old Apple Watch of your own or if you plan to upgrade your old Apple Watch.
For example, there is already a refurbished Apple Watch Series 5 for € 208.99. Please note that Apple’s smartwatch is not specifically made for children. The smartwatch is therefore quite large. It is best to choose the smaller variant.

The Apple Watch Series 5 was released in 2019. It has much of the same design as the Series 4 and an always-on Retina display. Furthermore, it has sufficient health functions and a built-in compass.
Do you still want a newer Apple Watch for your children? Then you have to dig a little deeper into the pouch. Then choose the Apple Watch SE 2022. This Apple Watch has almost all new functions, but is considerably cheaper than, for example, a recent Apple Watch Series 7 or Series 8.
