Know Where Your Children Are with a GPS Watch Phone

It’s not unusual for children to get lost in shopping malls, public parks and beaches, and all sorts of places that are open to the general public. Although most of them are able to find their way back to their parents, the trauma and fear caused by the thought of not knowing where your child is, can be pretty overwhelming. As parents, you want to make sure your children are safe wherever you go, but how do you do that? How can you keep track of your child and make sure he or she can easily be found when you get separated in a crowded place?

As natural as it is for parents to take every precaution imaginable to prevent incidents where their children get lost while at the park, zoo, or any crowded place, it’s also natural for kids to wander off to explore places they’ve never seen before. This is why there have been many gadgets and devices designed to keep track of little children. One of these gadgets is a watch with GSM, GPRS, and GPS capabilities. It’s not just a watch; it’s also a two-way phone and a GPS tracker in one.

How Does the Phone Watch Work?

This watch was initially developed for hiking and mountain climbing enthusiasts who may end up getting lost and in need of rescue. Today, aside from being an essential part of a climber’s safety arsenal, the GPS Phone watch is now also being used by concerned parents to keep track of their children in public places or when they go off with their class on school trips. There are many possible applications for a watch like this. Aside from being able to aid in the search and rescue of mountain climbers and explorers, and keeping track of young children, this watch can also be worn by the elderly or those who are afflicted by diseases that affect one’s memory and brain function to help find them if they ever wander off on their own.

The Phone Watch is easy to use. It has a clear display that gives the wearer the time and his or her exact GPS coordinates. It is also very lightweight which makes it easy for a child to wear without feeling any discomfort. There are call buttons that allow the wearer to call a pre-programmed phone number and ask for help if they get lost or are in need of special attention. Wearers of this watch can also press an SOS button which sends a message to a pre-programmed number to inform their guardians of their exact location. Unlike other tracking devices, there’s no need to call the number of a monitoring system to get information. The location information is sent directly to the parent or guardian’s phone via a GSM or GPRS network.

With the number of missing children and elderly people on the rise, it’s important to ensure their safety no matter where they go, especially since they are the ones that can’t defend themselves. This new gadget can help us do that by creating a line of communication between a child and his or her guardian when they get separated in a crowd.
