Our step-by-step guide on “how to connect and set up a kids smartwatch” will help you get started smoothly.
Preparing smart children's watches for work
In addition to the smart device itself, you must purchase a Beeline, Megafon, or MTS SIM card. It is better to refuse Tele 2, since the gadget does not support it. And if you use SIM cards from other operators, the communication user will have to find out and manually enter a long register of codes for the watch.
The main thing is that the SIM card supports 2G technology. It is not necessary to go higher, otherwise the operation of the device will be destabilized. It is advisable to read the instructions for children's watches with GPS before setting them up.

Checking and installing a SIM card
The selected SIM card can be inserted into any working phone. This could be an iPhone or a smartphone with the Android platform and a touch screen. After topping up your balance, it is recommended to make a test call. After this, you need to contact the operator and, explaining the situation, ask to turn off advertising, as well as service mailings.
By the way! There is a special Wonlex tariff that is cheaper than the regular one.
Next, disable the PIN code lock so that the watch can work. To do this, through the settings in the security section, find the item with codes. Next, the SIM card is removed from the phone and installed in the Smart Baby Watch Q50. The device is protected from vandalism, as well as children’s curiosity, so do the following:
- use a screwdriver to unscrew the 4 screws on the cover;
- since the battery is connected to the wires, it is carefully moved to the side;
- on the slot, move the curtain until it is completely open and insert a SIM card into the slot;
- After securing the card securely, install the battery.

Charging the device
Children's watches with GPS run on a battery. For uninterrupted operation of the device, it is necessary to charge the battery regularly. The device comes with a special network cable - one end of it is connected to the gadget. The USB socket is hidden under the curtain. The second end can be connected to a computer or outlet via a power supply. The charging process is shown on the watch display.
For example, the Baby GPS Watch Q100 can work for more than 4 days in autonomous mode.
Inclusion
In the middle of the device there is a button with which you can turn on the device. While holding it, you need to wait for the welcome message on the screen, accompanied by a sound signal. If the SIM card is activated and installed correctly, cellular icons will appear on the display in addition to the time.
Important! The device has protection against accidental or intentional shutdown. You can only turn on the device remotely by entering special commands.
The keys on the watch are multifunctional. If you press the power button again, the call will be dropped or a voice message will be recorded. Next to the charging socket there is an “SOS” button to send an alarm signal to the monitoring phone. She also answers the call.
On the other side there are two keys for attached numbers. When pressed, one of the subscribers is called. When talking, the top button increases the sound volume, and the bottom button decreases it.
Installing the application
As a rule, they choose a program that is free to use. One of the most popular is SeTracker 2. It is downloaded from the official website of the developers and installed on the monitoring phone. It is also available on Play Market or AppStore. During installation, select the Russian language, and then follow clear instructions. In this case, the program is automatically registered.

First start
Next, you need to turn on the children's smart watch. To do this, hold down the “On/Off” button for several seconds. Playing a melody serves as a turn-on signal. After this, the time is shown on the screen - zeros or incorrect, since the required time zone has not yet been set. A mobile connection indicator will also appear. The "E" icon at the top means Internet access.
Turning on children's smart watches
As a rule, starting up the device lasts less than a minute. This time also depends on the cellular operator.
Basic settings
You must register your children's smartwatch with GPS. To do this, you need to select the region of use. Two options are offered: “Europe – Africa” and “Oceania – Asia”. According to the area of residence, mark the desired one.
Next, fill out the form that appears:
- transfer the device ID (10 digits from the package);
- come up with logins for parents and baby;
- enter the SIM card number from the child’s phone;
- come up with a password and duplicate it in the next line;
- save the entered data.
One parent account can receive messages from several children. The main thing is that the logins are different, otherwise you may not understand which of them sent the SMS.
Parents' phone numbers are entered into the smart device and a time is set when notifications will not be received. It is mandatory to include information about removing the device from your hand. When a program window opens on your phone, the first thing you receive is a proposal to send messages about the location of the device and other notifications. You definitely have to agree.

Setting up a smart watch in the application
In order for the device to transmit a signal through the application, you need to register the phones. This is done in the settings.
SOS numbers
In the “SOS/Family Numbers” column, enter 3 numbers that will receive an alarm signal. It is transmitted when the child himself presses a key; when the battery runs out of charge, the device can turn off on its own. When the button is activated, the smartwatch will begin calling subscribers sequentially until one of them picks up the phone.
