Best Kids' Smartwatches in 2020

VTech's DX2 is geared toward ages 4-12 and combines safety, education, and fun in one small, wrist-friendly design. Kids can play games, learn to tell time, take pics and videos, and count their steps.

Ideal for older kids with smartphones, the Android-compatible Amazfit Bip can run for an impressive 30 days on a single charge. It also tracks heart rate, has GPS, and gives one-way notifications.

Garmin's best feature is its battery, which lasts a full year without a charge. Kids ages 4-9 and parents (who can monitor the watch via phone) will love the chore/behavior management app, step tracker, and adventure game.

The LeapBand is aimed at kids 4-7 and includes 50 active challenges, a watch face, customizable pets, and games to encourage active play and good choices. Parental controls allow you to set designated playtimes and monitor your child's actions.

For iPhone-owning teens, there's nothing that compares to the Apple Watch. GPS, heart rate monitor, unlimited apps, on-wrist notifications, and more make the swim-proof Apple Watch Series 3 a winner in every regard.

This waterproof smartwatch works on AT&T or T-Mobile and is outstanding for holding two-way conversations with kids via video chat. It also features voice messages, two-way texting, a selfie cam, and a child locator.

A micro SIM supporting 3G networks connects this watch to parents' phones via an app and tracks kids in real-time. You'll also get a step counter, remote voice monitoring, a camera, alarm, voice chat, and an SOS emergency call button.

The Hocent smartwatch is for teens. Compatible with iOS and Android, this watch has a touchscreen, sleep monitor, pedometer, camera, messaging app, music player, and games. Add a SIM card and the watch functions as a stand-alone smartphone.
