dokiWatch S, the second-generation smartwatch offering from Doki Technologies, has just been revealed and it is now available for pre-orders. The smartwatch is designed for children between of between 6 and 12 years of age, and offers features that allow parents to communicate with them. For example, the wearable includes a two-way video call functionality wherein either the parent or the child can initiate the call.

Parents may also send text messages to their children through the dokiWatch S, while children can respond with emoji.
This smartwatch allows parents to keep track of their children with its Smart Locator and Alert Area functionalities. Smart Locator takes advantage of device’s GSM, GPS, and Wi-Fi support in order to determine the exact location of the individual wearing the device, while the Alert Area functionality notifies parents when their children go outside the perimiter of a predetermined location like a school or home. The feature may also alert people when their children have not yet arrived at a given location but were expected to. An SOS button is located on the left side of the smartwatch, and once pressed, the device will send a 60-second audio recording of a child’s surroundings, as well as an emergency notification to all of its registered family contacts. dokiPet, on the other hand, is a virtual pet that keeps track of a child’s physical activities. The wearable boasts support for Alexa, Amazon’s AI-powered personal assistant. The digital helper enables the device’s dokiAsk functionality, a feature that allows children to ask the smartwatch questions.
