Designed to report daily activity and health status, the Mibro S5 Smart Watch is an ideal watch for kids who are always out and about. Together with a step counter and movement distance measurement, this watch also has a function which counts the times your kid skips on a rope. This way they can keep better track of the exercises they regularly do. It also has an electronic pet game which lets you earn food for the pet depending on your step records for the day. Because of this, your kid can be encouraged to have a more active lifestyle.

This smartwatch lets your kid add their friends to a contact list and start group chats and calls. There is also a 2 MP camera which can be used for video calls. It can even connect to WiFi and 4G networks for better connectivity and communication options. This smartwatch also has 9 locating modes which include GPS tracking as well as an SOS function.
