Gps tracking devices to keep track of your kids arent anew invention. There are several of them for several hundred dollar. However the new ones by HereO's is cute kid friendly and adult priced cheap...er.
Like other trackers of this sort, the HereO watch allows parents to create so-called safe zones around schools, etc, and then receive alerts should the child leave or enter the area. Additionally, parents can broadcast messages using an app, or send kids directions to help them reunite with a family member. This sells for 100 dollars in retail stores.
The catch? Because this won't be sold through a carrier, like AT&T, you'll instead need to pay a monthly fee for the GPS service. Specifically, if you buy on Indiegogo you'll at least get the first six months free, but it's still $5 a month thereafter. Should you buy in, the watch will work with a free app for either iOS or Android. Windows Phone and BlackBerry are coming soon, says the company.
This is a good idea. cheap simple and safe is a good motto to live by and this device is exactly that. plus it is really cute.
