The Tinitell Watch was designed from the ground up with one concept in mind: simple communication between a child and their guardian(s).
It functions as a mobile phone allowing children to call a preconfigured set of numbers. It also allows parents to call their child. For example, a mom can ring the watch to say that dinner is ready, and it’s time to come home.
The Tinitell also includes an integrated GPS module so parents can GPS track their child’s location in realtime.
In a smart move by the manufacturers, the device can be controlled through voice commands. Children only need to say commands like ,”call Mom,” to get the device to spring into action.
There’s a single button on the front of the smartwatch to turn it on or off, and two volume buttons to adjust audio levels. The battery will last for a continuous sixty minutes of talk time, or a full week (7 days) in standby. The exterior is IP57 dust and water resistant which means you don’t have to worry about your children ruining the watch while they play.
The Tinitell Watch has been successfully funded through Kickstarter, and the first models are expected to ship in April, 2015. The suggested retail price has been listed at $179, but that could change before launch.
