In fact, this can mainly be seen in our personal devices, such as our Smartphones, tablets, and Smartwatches. Not only that, but with young kids wanting to borrow their parents’ more high-end devices, chances are that a disaster can happen at any time.

So, without any further ado, let’s have a more detailed look at the imoo Watch Phone Z6 and check out all of the cool functionalities that this Kids Smartwatch has to offer to both kids as well as their parents.
DESIGN & BASIC SPECS
Starting with the watch’s size, since the imoo Watch Phone Z6 is meant to be used / worn by kids, the watch itself comes at a reasonably compact size, measuring just 9.47 inches long by 1.76 wide by 0.63 inches thick (240.42 x 44.7 x 15.9 mm) when accounting for both the watch and its wristband.
Additionally, the watch itself is also fairly lightweight, weighing just a measly 2.32 oz. (66 g).
The watch’s wristband features a very durable construction, as it is made of Dowcorning TPSIV Thermoplastic Elastomer, which is basically a super-high-quality rubber-like material that ultimately makes the watch’s wristband strong, tough, and resistant to abrasions / wear-and-tear.
That ultimately makes the watch’s band have the best possible durability that parents could hope for, as after all, young, adventurous and curious kids will be the ones who’ll be wearing the Watch Phone Z6.
As mentioned before, this Kids Smartwatch also features a Dust-Resistant and Water-Resistant build, as the watch is rated to be IPX8 Water-Resistant, meaning that it can be even used while swimming, so kids can even take it with them underwater for up to a 65.61 ft. (20 m) depth.
SCREEN & RESOLUTION
Now, right at the center of the Smartwatch, we also also its 1.41-inch AMOLED Multiple-Point Capacitive Retina Touch Screen Display, which comes protected by a thick layer of Corning Gorilla Glass.
I’d also like to note that the watch’s 1.41-inch AMOLED Capacitive Touch Screen features a Screen Resolution of 320 by 360 pixels.
DUAL CAMERAS & CAMERA SPECS
In addition to all of this, and as mentioned before, the Watch Phone Z6 Kids Smartwatch also comes equipped with Dual Cameras that come integrated at the front- and back-side of the watch’s body. The watch’s two built-in cameras basically consist of a a Front 5MP Camera and a Rear 8MP Camera that can be used for text messaging, 2-way phone calls and 2-way video calls.
The watch itself can also be opened up via its Free Stop Rotation Axis mechanism, which ultimately allows kids (meaning the watch’s end-users) to more easily position the watch’s two built-in cameras at a proper viewing angle for whoever your kid is Video-Chatting with, whether that’s mom, dad, bigger brother or sister, auntie, uncle, grandma or grandpa.
So, right at the top of the watch’s front-side, we have its Front 5MP Camera, which comes equipped with a Sapphire Crystal for protecting its camera lens that can record video at a Wide-Angle of 84.4°, while also featuring a Double F/2.2 Camera Aperture and a Pixel Particle of exactly 1.12μm.
Then, sitting right at the opposite side of its Front Camera, we have the watch’s Rear 8MP Camera, which comes integrated at the top of the watch’s back-side.
Just like its Front Camera, its Rear 8MP Camera also comes equipped with a Sapphire Crystal for protecting its camera lens, which can also record video at a Wide-Angle of 84.4 and also features that same Double F/2.2 Camera Aperture and Pixel Particle of 1.12μm.
MEMORY, STORAGE SPECS & SENSORS
Since this is a Kids Smartwatch, the imoo Watch Phone Z6 also comes equipped with a CPU chip that’s responsible for running all of its functionalities, which, for its case, is a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 chip.
In addition, this Kids Smartwatch also features a Total Storage Capacity of 8GB.
What’s even more special about this Kids Smartwatch is that the watch itself also has its memory storage running together with a Data Safety Technology, thus working accordingly the EU General Data Protection Regulation standard. In other words, all of your kid’s data is stored safely and in a completely private and encrypted manner.
Last but not least, for the watch’s In-App Real-time Location Tracking functionality, the device also comes equipped with a GPS sensor, a GLONASS sensor, and a BDS sensor.
CONNECTIVITY
Then, for its Connectivity Functionalities to work at all times, the Watch Phone Z6 also features both Bluetooth Connectivity (used for configuring the watch via the imoo Watch Phone App), as well as Wi-Fi Connectivity (at 2.4G) for its Wireless Connection with location-based services (LBS).
As mentioned before, this Kids Smartwatch also supports a total of 5 different Connectivity modes and 16 different Network Frequency Bands, which basically makes the watch compatible with almost all phone carriers around the world. Thanks to that, no matter what country your family is currently living in, you can be assured that this Kids Smartwatch will most likely be capable of connecting with at least one of the phone carrier’s within your area of residence.
On that note, be aware that the watch’s SIM Card slot can be found integrated right at the center of its back-side.
It’s worth noting that for its phone-carriers connectivity, the watch supports GSM (G2) Connectivity (for both 900MHz and 1800MHz frequency bands), CDMA2000 (3G) Connectivity (for the BC0 800MHz frequency band) and WCDMA (also 3G) Connectivity (for B1, B2, B5, and B8 frequency bands), as well as both FDD-LTE (4G) Connectivity (for B1, B2, B3, B5, and B8 frequency bands) and TD-LTE(4G) Connectivity (for B1, B2, B3, B5, and B8 frequency bands).
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
As mentioned before, this Kids Smartwatch is powered by a 680 mAh Silicon Anode Battery which can ultimately allow the watch to offer your kid(s) (as well as the parents themselves) up to two whole days of battery life on a single charge for using all of the watch’s different functionalities.
Those 2 days of battery life would already include having the watch’s Wi-Fi Connectivity turned On, as well as its amazing cellular coverage, and even its Real-time Location Tracking functionality enabled.
Obviously, the watch’s battery-life can still vary quite a bit, but that will ultimately depend on how many calls, messages, and video chats both parents and their kids make via the watch,
Still, it’s great to know that even if the parents themselves and/or their kid(s) do not remember to recharge the watch’s battery at night, chances are that the Watch Phone Z6 will still have its battery at around half battery-level, meaning that the watch itself will be ready to be used for that very next day.
THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP – The imoo Watch Phone App
Now, as mentioned before, this Kids Smartwatch also offers parents some amazing parental controls that can be utilized via the imoo Watch Phone App, which is available to download for free for both iOS and Android devices.

Real-time Location Tracking
Now, as said before, one of the imoo Watch Phone App’s best features is that parents are offered specific parental controls like Real-time Location Tracking for having the peace of mind of knowing where their child is at all times.
Intelligent Fitness Tracking & Step Counting Function
Additionally, parents are also offered a Intelligent Fitness Tracking functionality that allows them to monitor their child’s step count and overall physical activity.
Thanks to these two functionalities, parents can record their kid’s progress step by step to ensure that their child / children are able to have a healthy growth.
Class Mode for Study Hours
Best of all, parents can also enable a Class Mode for their kids’ Watch Phone Z6 during school hours, which basically triggers the watch to work exactly like a regular watch, with only the possibility of placing urgent calls to and from the watch’s admin (meaning the parent, or parents).
NOTABLE COMMUNICATION FUNCTIONS
2-Way Talk & 2-Way Video and Chat Function
So, via the imoo Watch Phone App, parents have access to normal functionalities, such as 2-way phone calls and 2-way video calls, and there’s also a Chat Function that allows parents to send both SMS text messages as well as Voice Messages to their kid’s watch for more communication options.
Customizable Phone Address List
Parents can also fully-configure the watch’s Address List to only receive messages from its already-configured contacts, thus automatically having the watch rejecting any messages as well as blocking any incoming phone calls that are coming from strangers, thereby protecting their kid(s) from being affected by unwanted or harassing messages and/or calls.
Still, if their kid is receiving an unknown call that parents actually recognize the number but still didn’t have the chance (or forgot) to include in the watch’s Address List, parents will still have the App send them a notification message with that caller’s number, thus giving them a chance to confirm the call if necessary (great for calls with other family member and/or friends of the family).
Last but not least, this Customizable Phone Address List also ensures that parents are able to prevent their child from making random calls to unknown (and potentiality dangerous) phone numbers.
Auto Answer
The watch itself also features an Auto Answer functionality that can be activated through the App, so if the parents call the child and there is no answer, the watch will automatically connect to the parents’ placed call after just 10 seconds. Another great feature for extra peace of mind for parents.
Call Location Report
Lastly, there’s also a Call Location Report function that automatically reports the location of the call to the parents whenever the watch itself calls the phone. So, for an emergency situation, this is a great function for the kids to have at their disposal, as well as their parents, of course, who will be on the receiving-end of this great functionality.
OTHER BASIC FUNCTIONS
Soaking Reminder
Last but not least, there are also some more basic functions like a Soaking Reminder that lights up the watch’s screen if the watch is accidentally left behind / forgotten submersed in water to basically remind the child to stop using it, and the APP will also send a message to the parents notifying them to contact the child.
Schedule Alarm
Parents can also set a Schedule Alarm to help manage their child’s daily schedule, which works in the form of text reminders or customized voice reminders, which basically help to remind the child to regularly drink water, do their homework and remind them of many other important things. This functionality is great to help kids to gradually develop good time keeping habits.
Low Power Mode
On top of all of the watch’s functions, the kids themselves are also offered a Low Power Mode functionality that is automatically activated whenever the watch’s battery is running low on power, which automatically forces the watch to enter a “Reserve Low Power Mode” to conveniently save some power just to ensure that parents are still capable to contact their kid(s) whenever necessary.
