There's LTE on board for voice calls, a voice assistant named CLOVA and translation between English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Plus there's a range of strap colours and four dog emoji watch faces. This one was announced back in summer 2018, and there hasn't been an update on price, release date or global availability just yet.
"If the wristband looks like a bulky Star Trek machine, it will be a deterrent against adoption - that's true of all wearable devices - the aesthetics are very important," said Saverio Romeo from the Beecham Research consultancy.
One-way calls, called "Sound Guardian" in the app's menu, are kind of like the Drop In feature on Amazon Echo devices. Parents use the app to call the watch, and they can hear what's going on around it, but the watch doesn't ring or make any indication that someone is listening in. This worked well: My son's watch called me right away, and I could tell he was at school — but he didn't know I was calling, so he didn't say anything to me. The sound quality was only so-so and varied based on ambient noise.
Several features in the Trax app should appeal to parents who want to keep tabs on their kids. The app offers a History feature, which lets you view where a tracker has been in the past 24 hours. That means you can look back and see travel that you might have missed, like a detour to the candy store on the way home from school.

Finally, many kids trackers offer communication features like talkback, text messaging, activity tracking, and more. If you want to be able to talk instantly with a small child, particularly one who does not have a mobile phone of his or her own, or if you’re concerned about your child’s fitness level, then these may be details that you’ll want to look for.
The Amber Alert GPS Smart Locator is not a cheap device, though. The upfront cost is $125 USD (£87), which isn’t bad, but then there’s the monthly charges of $15-18 (£10-12.50) plus a $19.99 (£14) activation fee. Plus, it does work outside of the US, but because service is on AT&T only, there are roaming charges; this is maybe not the best choice for non-US residents.
If you’re going to keep tabs on your child’s whereabouts, GPS is pretty much essential. Sure, there are trackers that rely on crowd GPS, which isn’t so much GPS as it is a combination of BlueTooth and user proximity. Those types of trackers are good for things like keys and your wallet, but they’re not ideal for finding out where your child is.

HereO also allows you to set a geo-fenced safe zone so that when your child crosses the boundary, an alert is sent to your device. There's also a monthly subscription of around $5. Heads up, the HereO is currently unavailable on Amazon.
On top of all of that, AngelSense is available on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Rogers, making it quite accessible in the US and Canada. One potential caveat, though - all these extra services will cost you. It's $39.99 to get onto the monthly plan, though the overall pricing varies depending on your commitment to the subscription.
