Here at My Gator Watch, we know that we can’t keep our kids away from technology forever. Technology is an integral part of their learning process and is essential for their growth as they move forward. But how can we as parents help guide them towards the right type of technology? This week we want to share with you five amazing pieces of tech that are not just beneficial for your kids, but for your family as a whole.

MY GATOR WATCH

Let’s start with our very own product! My Gator Watch is a wearable mobile phone and tracker designed especially for 5-12-year-olds. It uses GPS, two-way calling, works across multiple networks and has an SOS feature for peace of mind. We want kids to be kids for as long as possible and My Gator Watch is the perfect solution for helping kids gain some independence, whilst staying connected to their parents.
