The very first versions of this interesting gadget were just appendages of a smartphone and did not know much how to do, but they cost a lot of money. Now these devices have received new features, have fallen in price and have become affordable for most consumers.

Essence of the question

Since time immemorial, parents want to be able to find out where their child is currently located. Each of us is worried about his child when he leaves for a walk on the street, goes alone to the sports section, and returns late from school. With the advent of mobile phones, the situation improved somewhat, but still there were nuances: the child could lose the phone, not pick up the phone, not hear the call.

A few years ago, a new class of devices appeared - children's smart watches, allowing parents to quickly find out the coordinates of their child’s location.

In this article, we will take a closer look at the smart baby watch Q80. Reviews about this device are mostly positive. The peculiarity of this watch is that it has a built-in GPS tracker and can be used as a mobile phone. Let's see what helped them become so popular with consumers.

Smart watches: a bit of theory

What are smart watches designed for? At the dawn of its appearance, this device was conceived as a kind of "appendage" to the smartphone. The watch was connected to the phone via the Bluetooth protocol. The more expensive models had a touch screen and even a camera, while the cheaper ones represented a regular watch with additional functions for working with a smartphone. What functions were originally performed by a classic smart watch:

1. Event Notification. The clock informs you of an incoming call or SMS.
2. Answer the call. With an incoming call, it is not necessary to get the smartphone out of your bag or pocket, just answer the call by pressing the touch screen of the watch and talk.
3. View SMS. Ability to view incoming messages on the watch display.
4. View the contacts in the phone book and the call log of your smartphone.
5. The ability to control the clock playing the music player of the smartphone using a special application.
6. The ability to take pictures using the camera built into the watch.
7. The presence of built-in "sports" applications: pedometer, calorie counter, heart rate monitor.

The functionality of modern smart watches has expanded significantly. Now the gadget can work separately from the smartphone and allows you to autonomously make calls and answer SMS. Many devices even have a built-in GPS module.
