1.83” LCD touchscreen: The Safebuddy Smart Watch Kids GPS Blue is equipped with a 1.83-inch LCD touchscreen, featuring large icons and an easy-to-navigate interface designed for children.
240 × 280-pixel resolution: The display has a resolution of 240 × 280 pixels and a 2.5D design that provides a gently rounded screen surface and clear display of calls, menus, and watch faces.
4G connectivity: The watch supports 4G/LTE, enabling mobile communication directly from the wrist when used with a compatible SIM card, mobile subscription, and network.
Video calls: Safebuddy supports two-way video calls, allowing children and guardians to see and talk to each other directly through the watch and the connected mobile app.
Voice calls: The watch can be used for regular voice calls, allowing the child to communicate without having to carry a separate cell phone.
Voice chat: The model also supports voice messages/voice chat, allowing children and guardians to send short voice messages to each other via the watch and the app.
Built-in camera: Safebuddy is equipped with a 0.08-megapixel camera, which is used, among other things, for video calls.
SOS emergency function: A dedicated SOS button allows the child to quickly trigger an emergency signal. According to the product documentation, the SOS function is activated by holding down the button for approximately 3 seconds.
Real-time location tracking: The watch supports location tracking via Wi-Fi and LBS, which allows a guardian to view an estimated location via the accompanying app.
Wi-Fi + LBS Location Tracking: Location tracking combines information from cellular networks and available Wi-Fi networks. Accuracy may therefore vary depending on coverage, surroundings, and available networks.
School Mode: Safebuddy has a Class Mode/Do Not Disturb mode that can be used to restrict disruptive features during, for example, school hours.
Remote Do Not Disturb Schedule: According to the product materials, guardians can set Do Not Disturb time periods via the app, such as during class time or other times when the child should not use the watch’s communication features.
Alarms and reminders: Through the app, multiple alarms and reminders can be set to, for example, help the child with morning routines, bedtime, or other recurring activities.
Up to three alarms: The product materials indicate the ability to configure up to three alarms, which can be used to establish clearer daily routines.
No game downloads: The product information states that children cannot download games to the watch, which reduces the risk of it being used as a gaming platform during, for example, school hours.
Power-saving features: The product materials indicate support for a power-saving algorithm, low-battery protection, and battery protection, which are designed to provide longer runtime between charges.
Battery Life for Everyday Use: The watch is marketed as having multi-day battery life, but actual battery life is significantly affected by factors such as 4G coverage, the number of video and voice calls, location tracking intervals, screen usage, and network conditions.
IPX7: According to the specifications, Safebuddy has an IPX7 rating, which means protection against water during normal use in accordance with the rating’s conditions. Water resistance may deteriorate over time, and the watch should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
RTOS operating system: The watch uses RTOS, a resource-efficient real-time operating system optimized for smart wearable devices with a focus on fast response times and low power consumption.
Wide mobile network support: The watch supports multiple 4G and GSM bands, ensuring compatibility with various mobile networks depending on the country and carrier.
