Xplora X5, the connected watch that will get your children moving!

In an era where screens are everywhere, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get our little ones moving. Going from the console to the computer, then from the computer to the TV, should not be their only physical activity!

This is one of the reasons that prompted the company Xplora to develop a smartwatch for children. But it is not the only one, of course, since the need to stay in touch with parents is another important aspect!

Here are two questions that almost every parent asks: How can I stay connected with my children, and how can I get them more active?

So the watch Xplora X5Play will allow parents to stay in touch with their little ones, but will also allow them to exercise through fun activities that encourage physical activity!

Fun activities for healthy children!

Physical activity is becoming a social issue! Our children don't move enough. So to encourage them to exercise, the Xplore X5 Play watch offers fun and motivating activities to get them off the couch. The GoPlay platform offers them fun challenges to get them physically active.

For example, the “On the Road to Mars” challenge will push children to take as many steps as possible each day, which will be added to the steps of the Xperia user community in order to reach the planet Mars (278 billion steps). Those who play the game will benefit from a cool animation on their screen.

Moreover, Xplora regularly offers partnerships with the world of cinema: Fast & Furious: Spy Racers, Space Jam 2, Dora and the Lost City.

Finally, for every 1000 steps taken, children get 1 virtual token that they can exchange for products or services or donate to charities. A weekly ranking allows the most active to have a chance to win exclusive gifts!

Peaceful parents for happy and fulfilled children

When you're a parent, it's always difficult to let your children go to school alone, to friends' houses, to go shopping... in short, you have to have a strong heart, and I know what I'm talking about, because I have plenty of them at home!

And yet, it is essential to their development to give them some autonomy. And that is where the connected watch can be an excellent compromise.

Not very intrusive for the child, but reassuring for parents, the Xplora X5 Play watch is equipped with a GPS chip. This chip will allow parents to know exactly where the child is... But this system will also allow you to create zones beyond which an alert will be sent to the parents!

It's always better to have a chip in a watch than grafted under the skin, right?

But beyond this ability to locate your children, the Xplora X5 watch is also a real phone requiring a SIM card and a 4G plan. From then on, your child will be able to receive and make calls from their wrist. The child will obviously only be able to contact people who have been previously approved... and an SOS button allows you to call a contact in case of emergency.

Beyond phone calls, the watch also allows sending and receiving text messages, emojis and photos (the watch has a camera on the front).

Finally, a “school” mode allows you to deactivate most of the watch’s functions when your child is at school (with the exception of SOS mode).
