Pinwheel, makers of smartphones for children and teens, now has a smartwatch offering age-appropriate, parent-monitored and voice-activated AI chat (PinwheelGPT).

Designed specifically for safe use by children ages 7-14, the Pinwheel Watch is a solution for parents seeking a way to stay connected with their kids without giving them a phone.

The watch provides parents with GPS tracking and management tools while enabling kids to text and make calls (among parent-approved contacts), and take and share photos.

And – unlike any other kid's smartwatch on the market – Pinwheel Watch offers unlimited access to a voice-activated and parent-monitored AI chat app (PinwheelGPT) that comes pre-loaded on every device.

Pinwheel Watch Features

Calling + Texting

Children can text (using voice commands or a keyboard) and make calls on the Pinwheel Watch – but only with those who parents have approved to add to the "Contact Safelist." Later this year, Pinwheel will enable video calling at parents' discretion on the watch.

Just as with the Pinwheel phone, the Pinwheel Watch enables parents to allow or deny image texting by contact and to remotely monitor a child's text messages and call history.

Apps

The Pinwheel Watch will come pre-loaded with a host of useful features and unique apps, including:

• PinwheelGPT - your child can ask a kid-friendly version of ChatGPT questions via voice or text to receive AI-generated responses (moderated for age-appropriate content and viewable to you remotely on the parent dashboard).
• Calculator
• Alarm + stopwatch
• Calendar reminders
• Games
• Camera

Schedules + Modes

• Parents can set schedules for a child's usage of different features, e.g. enabling or disabling calling, texting and/or camera use at certain specified times

Hardware

• Bluetooth-compatible
• Durable

For families with multiple children of different ages, the Pinwheel Watch enables parents to use the same parent portal to manage watches and phones for multiple kids, and it's easy to move to a phone when it's time. You can copy over contacts and settings and then get $50 off your Pinwheel phone when it's time to upgrade.

The Pinwheel Watch costs $159 + a $14.99/month monthly subscription fee to access the Pinwheel parental management tools and cellular service.

It is available now on Pinwheel site, and will be sold on Amazon later this year.
