To ensure kids safety the company has incorporated GPS functionality in the smartwatch that will help parents monitor their kid's activities. In terms of specifications, the smartwatch includes a 0.96-inch TFT display and carries a weight of 48.5 grams.
Additionally, the smartwatch is IP65 certified which implies it is both water and dust proof and alongside offering Bluetooth feature it is compatible with both Android and iOS devices as well.

By partnering with Intex, we are enabling cutting-edge wearable devices that will provide consumers with superior products and help expand our offerings in the IoT and wearables space."
