Being a tween is a challenging time. The age old battle of not a child but not old enough to be off and about on their own. But now you can give your tween independence and security with the Fennec Watch One. With all the options built in this watch, your tween will enjoy the “smartwatch” status and you can keep a “safe eye” on them even from down the street.
About Fennec
Fennecs are small nocturnal foxes with a pair of large ears as their most distinctive feature. They are cute, highly social with other animals, and live together in family groups. We chose the name Fennec because not only is it a family-oriented fox species, but it’s also short for “Family” & “Connect”, and we provide a solution that facilitates communication for families. We hope to close the distance, whether it be a physical or a psychological one. With Fennec, family members that may be far apart in miles can be bound together in love.
Fennec Watch One
The Fennec watch is more than just a kid’s smart watch. It was specifically designed for tweens (above 8 years old). With built in location tracking and other features it gives your tween both independence and security.
A Smart Watch Designed for Tweens
This smart watch goes far beyond just telling time. It allows you and your tween to stay connected with both phone and video calling as well as a closed messenger app.
Tweens enjoy less screen time with the time limits established in the parental control settings. And because there is no You Tube or Instagram access, tweens have less distractions and are not exposed to inappropriate content.
Parents can connect quickly through the watch and because it is on your tween’s wrist, calls are not missed. And because the watch is being worn vs tucked in a pocket or backpack, it is less likely to be lost of stolen.
My Thoughts
Finding the balance between independence and security for a tween has never been more complicated. Between friends, sports, and extended families; it can be challenging to find that balance. Our tween loves going off on his bike with his friends. They are not ones to stay put at one house or street. And while we appreciate their desire to be outside playing, we still need to be able to monitor them and get in touch.
Some of the features I like on the Fennec Watch One
- Built in speaker – our tween can make or receive calls right on the watch itself without earbuds or headset.
- Video Chatting.
- Equipped with Fennec Messenger – a messenger app for family and friends.
- Location tracking for quick monitoring and peace of mind.
- Music player – our tween can enjoy music on the watch or with a Bluetooth headset.
- Rotating camera for those selfies and video chats.
- Fun games – with parental time limits
Give Your Tween Independence and Security with the Fennec Watch One
Set up was a little more detailed than I expected but understanding the parental protections built in, it makes sense. Options are available for either using WIFI or a monthly plan. If WIFI is used, some of the features will only work when the device is connected to a WIFI system. If you add the device to your cell plan or use one of the monthly prepaid plans, just insert the SIM card inside and activate the card. I set up both. When inside or where WIFI is open, the device will use it. Otherwise, the device is using the prepaid plan on the SIM card. Basically, you have several options for the type of data plans to use and you can change it at any time.
If you are looking for a gift for your tween this holiday, the Fennec Watch One is the answer to the challenge of how to give your tween independence and security. Give your tween the smart watch they have been asking for and give yourself peace of mind that they are safe from online contact by outsiders.
