Cosmo Technologies has unveiled the JrTrack 4 smartwatch for children to help protect them from criminals. Children can call 911 in an emergency with built-in GPS location. Social media apps can not be installed to help prevent depression and self-harm.

Cosmo Technologies has launched the JrTrack 4 smartwatch for children. The smartwatch has cellular service, allowing children to call 911 for help during emergencies in a world of predators, shooters, and kidnappers. The watch also protects children from the harmful effects of social media and Internet use by not having these features.

Smartphones are very useful in modern life and have brought the knowledge and people of the world together. However, this also means the world's criminals are just a text, chat, or phone call away from contacting vulnerable children. Even when the criminal element is taken out of the picture, social media apps affect children negatively, leading to increased self-harm, mental health issues, bullying, and other problems. The Cosmo JrTrack 4 eliminates the paths to these issues by not including Internet access, social media, or communications with non-authorized individuals.

The JrTrack 4 has cellular service across the US, Canada, and Mexico to allow parents to be alerted to children wandering outside geofenced safety zones, monitor their children's GPS location in real time, and communicate with their children through calls and text messages with photo and video attachments. Additionally, only parents can add vetted individuals to the authorized contact list.

Children can wear the JrTrack 4 all day long while listening to child-friendly music with the built-in Spotify Kids app. The watch has IP68 water resistance and can be used while swimming. An activity tracker monitors the number of steps taken each day.

The smartwatch has a 1.4-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 240 x 240 pixels. The 1.3 Ghz dual-core CPU is paired with 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage. The watch weighs 1.66 ounces (47 grams).

The Cosmo JrTrack 4 has an MSRP of $129.99 and is available on Amazon today to help families avoid all the doomscrolling and online dangers of a regular smartphone. The JrTrack 4 has four cellular service plans starting at $17.99 per month, with cheaper rates for longer service commitments.

The Top Ranked JrTrack line breaks new ground with enhanced parental controls, music, kid-safe apps, and more.

DENVER, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- COSMO Technologies, a family tech company on a mission to connect families and inspire amazing childhoods, has announced the release of its most advanced, secure, and customizable kids smartwatch to date—JrTrack 4. Available now, JrTrack 4 introduces breakthrough features for families that set a new standard in kids wearables, providing unparalleled safety, connection, and flexibility.

COSMO JrTrack 4 Kids Smartwatch

"There's a growing movement of families right now looking for better technology to connect and protect their kids," said COSMO's Founder & CEO Russell York. "We're proud to be at the forefront of that movement and truly listening to the needs of parents and kids."

More Customization, More Connection, More Possibilities

With JrTrack 4, COSMO unveils a brand new set of capabilities for connection and customization that set it apart from other kids wearables in the market.

In addition to core capabilities like calling, family-safe messaging, and GPS tracking, JrTrack 4 gives parents access to COSMO's all-new Parent Portal BETA, featuring a growing library of kid-friendly apps like Spotify Kids and GoNoodle.

The Parent Portal comes equipped with flexible parental controls, enabling parents to review important app details, set time limits by app, and add or remove apps from the watch at any time. This new feature gives parents the tools to thoughtfully tailor their child's watch experience to meet their unique needs as they grow.

"We believe parents know best and we understand that no two families or kids are alike," explained York. "These new features are a leap forward in our vision to give parents the tools they need to confidently manage their child's digital experiences in a secure, flexible, and meaningful way."

With JrTrack 4, families can expect:

Powerful parental controls: All-new enhanced parental controls on JrTrack 4 empower parents to set app-specific time limits, in addition to customized distraction free mode for school or other activities.

Complete customization: With a growing library of kid-safe apps via COSMO's all-new Parent Portal, JrTrack 4 is the only kids wearable designed to grow with your child. Parents can safely add apps ranging from music to simple puzzle games, ensuring the experience evolves uniquely to meet the needs of their child.

Kid-ready music: JrTrack 4 brings music right to kids' wrists! With apps like Spotify Kids, parents can safely enable and manage listening adventures to meet their child's needs as they are ready.

Enhanced messaging: JrTrack 4 is made for safely sharing moments that matter most, with real text, voice, video, and picture messages. JrTrack 4 will also be equipped with automatic audio message transcription capabilities later this fall for an even more seamless experience.

JrTrack 4 follows COSMO's breakthrough third-generation model – the #1 ranked kids smartwatch on Amazon. JrTrack watches are real, stand-alone phones with calling and texting, even including family-safe group messaging to bring everyone together. Designed with safety at the forefront, they automatically block any numbers not approved by parents via the app and are firewalled against social media or internet browsing. All this and more comes in a durable device that's certified IP68 water, dust, and dirt resistant to withstand the daily adventures of kids.

"It's all about building digital tools that actually encourage and empower more real-world connection and experiences," says York. "We really believe that the right kind of safe connection for kids can be life changing."

Made for kids ages 6-12, JrTrack 4 will be available in time for holiday gifting on Amazon and at Cosmotogether.com at a suggested retail price of $129.99.
