While this may not be the Xiaomi smartwatch that was being teased by their CEO a little while back, Xiaomi has a smartwatch that’s made just for the kids.
Called the Xiaomi Mi Bunny, the super cute smartwatch may not have most of the fancy features you’ll find on say, an Apple Watch but its still capable of quite a few functions. Aside from telling the time anyway.
For starters, the Mi Bunny will allow kids to make and receive calls for up to six family members (via an embedded pre-paid SIM card) as well as GPS, GLONASS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality. The watch is compatible with phones on Android 4.4 Kitkat and up.
Parents can monitor their kid’s location and set a “security zone” of sorts; which prompts said parents with alerts if they leave the area. Lastly, there’s an SOS button that will allow kids to broadcast their location along with 7 seconds of audio at a tap, in the event of an emergency.
As for battery life, the Mi Bunny is home to a 300mAh battery, which Xiaomi says has about six days of standby time.
Pricewise, the Mi Bunny is selling for ¥299 (about RM 181) with an adult version coming sometime later this year.
