Parenting in the digital age isn’t just about keeping up with school schedules and sports days anymore, but more about bridging the gap between staying connected and keeping things simple.
Enter the myFirst Fone S4, a smartwatch that makes staying in touch feel a little more personal.
This is a slim smartwatch with a 1.65-inch AMOLED screen (the largest in the myFirst lineup) sitting comfortably on your child’s wrist. At just 7.99mm thick, it’s almost too easy to slip into a pocket.
The high-gloss metallic frame gives it a sophisticated touch, though the plastic backing ensures it stays light and durable. The included rubber case adds greater protection, and the always-on display means no more fumbling to check the time.
The Fone S4 introduces magiCode, where parents can send custom vibrations to their child’s wrist. A quick buzz might say, “Hello,” while a soft, lingering pulse whispers, “I miss you.”
Through the myFirst app, parents can craft up to 10 unique vibration patterns. The feature is subtle enough not to disturb a classroom but meaningful enough to keep kids feeling connected.
Completing tasks like hitting step goals or finishing homework earns kids virtual “Carrots”. These can be exchanged for fun digital avatars or colourful wallpapers. Parents can even assign tasks via the habit trainer, creating a blend of motivation and accomplishment.
For parents who value peace of mind, the Fone S4’s dual-band GPS has 30% greater accuracy than previous models, so you’ll know exactly where your child is within two meters.
And for those moments when movement matters, advanced motion sensors capture step counts, distances, and even nuanced movements. Pair this with its IPX8 waterproof rating, and you’ve got a device that’s as ready for adventure as your little explorer.
With 4G eSIM technology, the Fone S4 connects up to eight participants. The class mode feature ensures the smartwatch remains silent during lessons, while emergency functions stay active. The myFirst app also provides control over contacts, geofencing, and even a virtual “safety net” with notifications for boundary breaches.
The myFirst Fone S4 launches for pre-order on 27 December 2024, priced at $299.
Paired with myFirst’s FreeSIM eSIM service, unlimited data starts at just $6.99 per month (on annual billing).
