From Parents Magazine to Tom’s Guide and Good Morning America, experts are highlighting why the JrTrack 5 is one of the best smartwatches for kids who aren’t ready for a smartphone.

Here’s just a few of the recent highlights where Cosmo has been featured.

Tom’s Guide: A Game-Changer for Families

Technology publication Tom’s Guide also highlighted the Cosmo JrTrack 5 as one of the best smartwatches for kids, emphasizing how it balances safety, communication, and simplicity.

Technology writer Amanda Caswell praised the device for focusing on what families care about most.

“The Cosmo JrTrack 5 nails what parents care about and kids want.”

The review also pointed out one of the biggest benefits of the JrTrack kids smartwatch:

“Smartwatches for kids are getting smarter, but what makes the Cosmo JrTrack 5 stand out for us is knowing where our child is and being able to communicate, all without giving them access to the full internet.”

For parents who want a smartwatch for kids without internet access, JrTrack provides a safer alternative to smartphones.

Tom’s Guide concluded:

“The Cosmo JrTrack 5 gets the essentials right: safety, communication and control. For parents looking for a trusted first device, especially for elementary and middle school-aged kids, it’s one of the best choices on the market.”

Good Morning America: The Benefits of Smartwatches for Kids

Cosmo was also featured in a discussion on Good Morning America about why more families are choosing kids smartwatches instead of smartphones.

Family tech expert, educator, Cosmo ambassador, and mom Julie Lause explained why kid-safe devices are becoming the preferred first technology for children.

“If you're delaying a smartphone for your kids, a kid-safe smartwatch is a great option. It keeps you connected, allows you to see their location, and gives you peace of mind they're safe.”

She also noted why adult smartwatches aren’t ideal for kids:

“Watches made for adults aren't 100% safe for kids. They come with distractions like notifications, the internet and games, and parents have to be extremely vigilant to age-gate the device for children.”

That’s why devices like the Cosmo JrTrack 5 kids GPS smartwatch are designed differently.
