The hereO GPS watch is the world's smallest real-time GPS tracking device designed for children three years and up. Working in sync with the hereO family location app, the watch functions as a tracker, enabling parents to know their children's whereabouts directly on their mobile phones.
While there are several child GPS devices available on the market, none of them meet the needs of young children and modern parents. hereO is uniquely designed to be appealing for young children, affordable and keep the family connected with one easy solution.
"Keeping families safe and connected is our mission," said Gill Mendelson. "Our goal in creating hereO was to let kids be kids while providing parents with peace of mind."
The SIM-based hereO GPS watch was designed for everyday wear, with a battery lasting up 24-72 hours (depending on usage). Featuring an optional childproof locking mechanism to keep the watch on during the roughest of play and made to be water resistant, the watch also includes a panic alert that can be easily triggered by the child in any scary situation.
Features of the hereO watch:
- World's smallest kids GPS watch, designed for children ages three and up.
- Enables parents to create safe zones around specific areas such as home, school or work and will notify them when a child arrives or leaves the designated "safe" place.
- Comes with a built-in panic alert and tamper proof motion sensor technology.
- Battery life lasts up to 24-72 hours between charges.
- Comes with a built-in SIM-card that works in more than 140 countries without roaming fees, making it the perfect travel companion.
- Available in 4 kid-approved colors: Pink Sunshine, Turquoise Delight, Red Blaze and Blue Panther.
Features of the hereO Family Location App:
- Family members using the app can share their locations with each other, check-in, send instant messages and view historical locations.
- Safe zones can be set for any family member who is using the hereO Family App.
- Comes with a panic button that when triggered, an alert is sent immediately to all family members with the exact location.
- Will be available for FREE for iPhone and Android (Windows phones coming soon).
