It’s Christmas morning. The air is electric with anticipation and the sound of eager kids waiting to unwrap their gifts. And in the midst of all this magic, there's one Christmas gift under the tree that we think stands out. Sure, we may be biased, but your JrTrack 4 kids’ smartwatch has something for everyone!
In order to ensure that Christmas moment is as magical as you imagine, let’s make sure you’re set up for success! We’re here to let you in on the one secret to making this gift truly special: early preparation!
As a parent, the last thing you want is to be scrambling with setups on Christmas morning. So avoid the morning rush and let’s get your kid’s new watch ready to go the moment it is unwrapped.
Here's your ultimate pre-Christmas setup guide to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience!
Activate Early
Avoid the Rush: Get ready for a great Christmas morning by activating your JrTrack watch early! Purchase your membership plan on our Activate page here and get it set up with COSMO Mobile service in just a few simple steps. That means, it’s already connected and ready to go the moment they unbox it.
Pro tip: Your device may need to go through an update cycle after activation in order to ensure you’re on the latest and greatest software update. This can take a few minutes and is totally normal!
Risk-Free Activation: Any customers who purchase JrTrack 4 as a holiday gift and activate on or before Christmas are covered by our extended money-back guarantee until January 15th! If JrTrack 4 isn’t a good fit for your family, there’s no hard feelings. ❤️ You can return it with no questions asked and receive a refund on the watch and the plan you purchased.
Apps & Features Prep
Download the Mission Control App & Pair Your Device: Install the Mission Control parent app on your smartphone (available for iOS or Android) before Christmas, so you can create your Admin account, familiarize yourself with device and app settings, and pair your kid’s JrTrack 4 to the app. This is also a great time to add the approved contacts of guardians, relatives, and friends who you’d like them to be able to communicate with, as well as set up SafeZones so you know if they enter or leave these designated areas while away from you.
Pro tip: Review our helpful Getting Started guide for your JrTrack 4 device to review all the parent-and-kid-favorite features!
Check Out Your Parent Portal and Set Up Apps: Log on to the new Parent Portal and install the desired apps you’d like to add to your child’s smartwatch. We have a growing library of kid-ready apps like Spotify and Spotify Kids. It’s all fully parent controlled so you can enable or disable app access. You can also set time limits for the apps you choose, so your child can develop a healthy balance.
To ensure an even more enjoyable experience, turn the first morning with their watch into an exciting family adventure. Here are some fun ideas:
- Challenge your kids to take fun family selfies and group photos, capturing the Christmas morning magic together.
- Show them how to send their first text messages to grandparents or siblings, sharing their excitement about new gifts.
- Encourage them to record short voice or video messages to distant relatives.
- Set a playful step goal for the day, tracking their Christmas activities from unwrapping presents to playing with new toys.
- Celebrate each new feature they discover!
Have a small reward ready (like hot chocolate 😋) for milestones they reach, transforming a potentially technical moment into a cherished family memory filled with laughter and discovery.
Power Up Before the Big Day
Fully Charge the Watch: When setting up early, make sure you fully charge your JrTrack 4 once you're done, and then power off, so it’s ready for Christmas morning. A full battery means instant gratification for your excited kid who can’t wait to take their smartwatch for a spin around the neighborhood or snap photos of their Christmas morning to share with Grandma in another state.
Pro tip: our new Charging Stands make charging even easier! It makes for the perfect kids nightstand companion for a clock with alarms at the ready!
Extra Pro Tip for Parents: Once your kids have opened their watch, you can use this time to talk about charging responsibility. Explain how taking care of technology is like taking care of a valued possession, and they’ll have to keep it charged if they want to use it.
