Problem
Parents of children aged 6 to 12 face a dilemma between staying connected with their kids and shielding them from the risks of smartphones, including social media, open internet access, and contact with strangers. Without a dedicated communication device, children often rely on borrowed adult phones or pressure their parents into giving them an early smartphone.
Solution
Kiper One is a standalone smartwatch with its own SIM card that lets children make calls, video calls, and send messages to pre-approved contacts only. Parents manage everything through WhatsApp—approving contacts, setting school block times, and configuring alarms—without installing any extra app. The watch includes real-time GPS tracking and a rapid call button so children can reach their parents instantly. The device works independently of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, functioning wherever there is cellular signal.
Target Audience
