Octopus Watch Motion Edition is not:
It's not a GPS tracker nor a phone (it does not require a SIM card or phone plan).
It doesn't emit sounds.
How does it work?
Parents download our free iOS or Android app to set-up the watch. Add activities and reminders such as "brush your teeth" through the app and sync with your watch. The watch gives the time with visual icons (and discreet vibration) making it the first watch that kids can actually understand.
