Why the Pinwheel Kids’ Smartwatch is a Game-Changer for Parents

Discover the Pinwheel Watch, a groundbreaking smartwatch designed for children aged 7 to 14, featuring AI-driven safety and learning tools, set to launch in early 2025.

At CES 2025, Pinwheel dropped a game-changer: the Pinwheel Watch. It’s not just any smartwatch—it’s designed specifically for kids aged 7 to 14, hitting the market in early 2025. Think sleek, think smart, but most importantly, think safe and engaging for the little ones (and peace of mind for the parents).

What’s the big deal? Well, for starters, there’s PinwheelGPT. This isn’t your average AI chatbot; it’s like the cool, responsible babysitter who knows how to keep things kid-friendly. Dane Witbeck, Pinwheel’s CEO, couldn’t stop raving about how it dodges the awkward or iffy topics, making it a safe space for kids to ask all those ‘why is the sky blue?’ questions.

Parents, you’re not left out of the loop. The watch comes packed with controls that let you peek into your kid’s digital world—monitor chats, set who they can talk to, and even draw virtual fences with geofencing. Got a co-parenting situation? The real-time GPS tracking is a lifesaver, sending you updates so you’re always in the know.

But wait, there’s more (because why stop at just being a watch?). It tracks fitness, snaps pics with dual cameras, and will soon let your kid video call their friends—no smartphone required, thanks to its 4G LTE independence. Calls, texts, all from their wrist.

Priced at $160 plus a $15 monthly plan, the Pinwheel Watch is shaping up to be the ultimate digital sidekick for kids. Safety, learning, and a dash of fun? Check, check, and check.
