FiLIP smartwatch helps parents monitor their kids when they go out

Parents can program up to five numbers into the gadget, which kids can call with the touch of a button. Using the FiLIP app, parents and other pre-authorized adults can track the child’s location, make calls, send texts and set “SafeZones,” which are virtual radii around a specific destination.

For parents thinking about getting their child a cell phone for safety, the FiLIP smartwatch and phone hybrid may stave off that need for a few years. FiLIP helps parents easily call and keep track of their children. Of course, the watch tells time, but it can also pin down a child’s location.
