Pretty cute! Hands-on experience with the "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch

With the rise of smart wearable devices, the first to become popular are smart watches. In addition to high-tech products such as Moto 360 and Apple Watch, there are also devices developed for niche markets, such as the "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch we are going to talk about now.

The outer packaging design of the "Tangmao" children's smart watch is relatively young and lively, and the "3+" logo means that it is not suitable for children who are too young.

Open the package cover and the pink machine appears. Although whether this shape looks like us and cats is a matter of opinion, the two ears standing up on the watch look really cute!

The "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch is made entirely of soft rubber material, and the main plastic parts are also wrapped in rubber, which can provide good protection for children.

The random accessories include a charger, cables, a screwdriver and spare screws for changing the strap mount, as well as stickers that children love. The paper materials of the device are also concentrated in a paper packaging similar to a greeting card envelope, just like some smart phone products, with great attention to detail.

The charger specification of the "Tangmao" children's smart watch is 5V/1A. The charging head that contacts the watch is a magnetic design, which is different from the common MicroUSB interface. If it is lost during use, it will be difficult to replace it.

The hard material body can be separated from the rubber strap. In fact, the two "ears" of the watch can also be removed. Two spare "ears" are also prepared in the package. After all, it is not uncommon for naughty children nowadays to lose a few small things.

The physical buttons of the "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch are set on the left side of the body, and are also made of soft material that feels comfortable.

There seems to be a SIM card slot on the right side of the body, but in the subsequent experience, there was no problem with the watch's networking without inserting the card and setting up the network. The instruction material shows that the "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch uses the mobile 2G network, which is probably built into the body.

The display area of ​​the "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch is a dot matrix design of two monochrome 9-pixel displays. It is much more power-saving than ordinary displays and supports touch operation. Touching different positions can activate functions such as sound, voice time, and signal strength display. We can't ask for too much from a children's watch, but it is a bit regrettable that it cannot display numbers.

The "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch also needs to be used with a mobile client. For children's smart watches, the mobile App is naturally prepared for parents. The design of the App interface is more childlike, and there are no compatibility issues under the latest Android 5.0 system.

Through smartphones, users can check the battery level of the "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch, adjust the volume, display brightness, left or right hand wearing habits and other properties. A "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch can also support multiple parents.

The more practical functions of the "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch are positioning and voice chat. After testing, the positioning effect of the "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch is still quite accurate, and the chat interface is similar to the WeChat we are familiar with. On the watch side, children can also interact with their parents in real time by voice by pressing the button on the left.

The "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch looks like a toy, and the mobile phone app actually provides game functions that work with the watch. Through sensors and other sensing devices on the watch, children can trigger sound effects to simulate small toys such as lasers, drums, magic wands, etc.

In general, the "Sugar Cat" children's smart watch is highly consistent with its target user group - children, both in appearance and usage. Of course, you can think that in an age when children of a few years old can operate iPad skillfully, this pink gadget lacks a sense of technology, but it allows parents to see the location of their children, enables remote chat between parents and children, and has a cute appearance, which is enough for product positioning.
