<p>For parents looking for alternatives to an Apple Watch for their children, the Pinwheel Watch is a noteworthy option. Priced at $160, this cellular smartwatch boasts robust parental controls alongside a kid-friendly AI chatbot feature.</p>
<p>In contrast to traditional smartwatches, the Pinwheel is equipped with a camera, and the company has stated that video calling functionality will be launched later this year …</p>

<p><em>Engadget</em> reports that this smartwatch doesn’t resemble a typical toy. </p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>The Pinwheel Watch has a design that doesn’t announce itself as a children's device. Revealed at Pepcom during CES 2025, it features a sleek design similar to an oversized Apple Watch — complete with a subtle camera bump and interchangeable straps that come in various styles. It's an appealing choice for tech-savvy kids who want a smartwatch akin to adults, as it wouldn’t look out of place on their wrists.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>According to Pinwheel, the smartwatch's parental controls are designed to be exceptionally versatile and powerful.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>For younger users, parents can require approval for all contacts, while a 14-year-old might enjoy the freedom to add friends autonomously. Parents are able to monitor text and call histories remotely, and modify specific features — such as disabling image sending — on a per-contact basis.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The company also assures that the AI chatbot is safe for children.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>The watch features a kid-friendly version of ChatGPT named PinwheelGPT. The company claims this chatbot has undergone testing to prevent it from generating inappropriate replies. Additionally, parents can access chat logs, including those that have been deleted.</p>
<p>“You can certainly ask it anything, but it won’t respond,” explained Pinwheel co-founder Dane Witbeck. “It quickly defers and suggests talking to a trusted adult instead.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The smartwatch includes a camera located on the underside, which will facilitate two-way video calls.</p>
<p>While no specific release date has been provided beyond later this year, the watch is priced at $160 and will require a dedicated cellular plan estimated at approximately $15 per month.</p>
