The flagship smartphone-watch is a child’s first mobile phone, offering all the benefits of a smartphone and operating on a secure, private and parent-controlled ecosystem that can be customised to reflect each family’s needs and values.
With the Spacetalk App, parents can prevent their children’s’ access to the open internet, social media and inappropriate adult content while blocking calls and messages from unknown senders.
