Spacetalk Adventurer 2 Kids Smart Watch Review

Ready to introduce your kid to the world of tech? Want to stay in touch with your children while they’re out and about?

Discover more of the Spacetalk Adventurer 2 Kids Smart Watch’s benefits and features below.

One of the best features of the Spacetalk Adventurer 2 Kids Smart Watch is its in-built GPS tracker for kids which not only shares location in real-time, but also sends GPS updates at regular intervals from 5 minutes to every hour. This means you can check your kids’ location while they’re making their way home from school, playing with friends, or even while on an excursion.*

Not only can you map your kid’s location through the Spacetalk App, but you can also set up safe zones with alerts, so you know whenever your child adventures outside of their usual areas.*

Another important safety feature on the Spacetalk Adventurer 2 is the Safe Contacts List. Kids can only contact and be contacted by the people you put on the Safe Contacts list. There’s no limit to the number of contacts on the list and you can add or delete contacts straight from the Spacetalk app using a Spacetalk app subscription.

When it comes to emergencies, the Smart Watch also has SOS Alerts which calls each contact on the Emergency Contact List until someone picks up.*

The Spacetalk Adventurer 2 Kids Smart Watch operates on 4G LTE networks and includes an embedded stand-alone number, so your kids can call and text Safe Contacts as they would a regular mobile phone.* The watch will be able to make and receive calls to a set of predefined customisable contact numbers, so you can easily and safely keep in contact with your kid while they’re venturing out and about.

The kids smart watch also features HD video calling supported by the 5MP Camera, so you can chat to your kid face-to-face and share experiences in brilliant high definition. Video calling might also help if your kid ever gets lost and needs another set of eyes to help them get their bearings.

Further to its connectivity features, the Spacetalk Adventurer 2 also includes fitness and health tracking. The watch has an integrated kids’ fitness tracker¹ with voice feedback that monitors physical activity and transfers their health data to the Spacetalk app for easy viewing. This data includes:

• Step count
• Distance travelled
• Calories burned
• Exercise minutes
• Heart rate

The Spacetalk Adventurer 2 Smart Watch is not just an advanced kids watch – it’s also a piece of technology that can strengthen family connections. In addition to the more technical functions such as GPS tracking and video calling, the Spacetalk Adventurer 2 Kids Smart Watch also includes relationship-building features like Feelings and Reward Stars, which are great emotional regulation activities for kids.

Feelings is a unique feature that lets kids send a mood update from their watch, so you know how they’re feeling, while also encouraging them to learn about their emotions and the important roles they play in our lives. Awards is another fun yet helpful feature that helps kids build good habits through positive reinforcement. It lets you reward them with stars when they do their chores, finish their homework, and achieve their goals.  These interactive features may help strengthen your bond with your kids and help you learn more about them as they grow and share their experiences.

The Spacetalk Adventurer 2 Kids Smart Watch is designed to last with water resistance, durable band, and sizeable battery. The watch has an IP67 rating (protected for up to one metre of immersion for up to 30 minutes), meaning it’s protected from shower splashes and brief accidental dunking².

The Smart Watch also has 750mAh battery capacity so it can keep up with your kid no matter how active that may be. The watch is charged via an included Charging Dock and USB Type A to USB-C Cable.

One of the most common concerns when introducing kids to technology is how to keep them safe online. Parenting in the digital age can be difficult, especially if you’re worried about dealing with negative online experiences and how to protect your child’s privacy.

Luckily, you won’t have to worry about setting up parental block to monitor your child’s online activity on the Spacetalk Adventurer 2 Kids Smart Watch, as the watch has no open internet access, meaning no social media nor apps. It functions completely with network connectivity and means you’re free from the headache of tracking your kid’s internet usage.

In addition to social media and internet prevention, the Spacetalk Adventurer 2 Kids Smart Watch also has a School Mode that kids can activate to silence the watch and prevent notifications that may distract them or others while in class during school hours.

Regardless, if your kid’s online safety is on your mind, Optus has a variety of resources that may help. Optus Digital Thumbprint supports digital safety and wellbeing with free educational guides and resources for young people and families covering topics such as cyberbullying and respectful relationships, setting up secure passwords, and balancing time online.

The program also delivers free, curriculum-aligned workshops that are fun and interactive. These in-school workshops are delivered face-to-face by one of our facilitators or via digital interactive workshops.

Information on booking the workshops and our free resources for families are available on the dedicated Digital Thumbprint website.
