As a parent, your priorities are simple: knowing where your child is, staying in touch and making sure they’re safe, even when you’re not around. A clunky smartphone? That’s often too much too soon — too many distractions, too little control and way too easy to lose.
In 2025, one kids’ GPS smartwatch is leading the category — not by downsizing grown-up tech, but by redefining what children’s connected devices should be. That smartwatch is the myFirst Fone R2.
myFirst is a trusted family tech brand known for blending safety, fun and smart features in kids’ devices. When launching a new smartwatch for kids, they didn’t just upgrade features — they reimagined their first phone experience from the ground up. With a brilliant touchscreen display, real-time GPS tracker, video calling and a safe, parent-led social feed, the myFirst Fone R2 stands as part of a thoughtful ecosystem of kids smartwatches and devices that you can now buy at Walmart.
A top GPS watch for kids who explore — and parents who care
From the start, the myFirst Fone R2 was engineered not just to protect kids but also to help parents have one less thing to worry about. Beyond the animated watch faces and adjustable straps, this clever GPS watch for kids delivers what truly matters: reliable connection, real-time safety and flexible parental controls.
One of the most essential features in a kids’ smartwatch, especially for children as young as 4 years old, is real-time GPS tracking. Parents can view their child’s location history or live updates at any time and set up customizable Safe Zones, receiving alerts if their child exits areas like school or the babysitter’s house.
In critical situations, pressing the SOS smartwatch button sends both a GPS location and a 30-second recording of the surroundings to the emergency contact, giving families vital information when it matters most. And now kids can directly call 911 in emergency situations.
Parents also give great reviews to the myFirst Fone R2 because it prioritizes digital safety. There’s no open internet, no games and no bad social media habits. Every contact must be parent-approved, so kids only connect with trusted individuals. And with Class Mode, parents can silence non-essential functions during school hours, keeping kids focused.
As myFirst founder and CEO, G-Jay Yong, puts it, “We understand that for parents, safety is paramount regarding the technology their children use. Forget tech specs — what parents really need is peace of mind: to reach their child anytime and know they’re safe.”
A smartwatch for Kids with your own safe social media
Sleek hardware and design aside, parents and kids love how the myFirst Fone R2 brings connection to life, making it one of the best GPS kids’ smartwatches for practicing safe social habits.
The kids’ watch is integrated with myFirst Circle secure family cloud, the brand’s breakthrough hybrid app that combines parental controls with kid-friendly social media. Together, they create a connected experience that lets children stay in touch through voice messages, video calls, group chats and coparent location sharing, without open internet or conventional social media risks.
Most kids’ smartwatches with GPS only share with a parent’s phone. But within myFirst Circle (or its customizable privacy “circles”), children and family navigate a safe social feed for photos, videos and comments shared among approved family devices such as kids smart watches, WiFi-enabled kids digital cameras, and even digital photo frames which makes myFirst brand a one-of-a-kind digital childhood experience.
For example, siblings or friends can share photos and comments, and add reactions visible from the kids’ smartwatches and the smartphone apps used by approved adult contacts. Everybody can participate, and each post gets assigned a privacy “circle.”
Other unique interactive tools in the responsive kids smartwatch include Momoji — pressure-sensitive haptic emojis — and Knock-Knock — a quick way to ask “what’s up?” and receive a snapshot back. Everything makes the experience feel fun, spontaneous and actually age-appropriate.
Kids smartwatch style meets daily peace of mind
The myFirst Fone R2 is one of the most advanced kids’ smartwatches available. It combines premium features like a vivid 1.3-inch AMOLED display, a high-resolution 5MP camera, eSIM connectivity, GPS tracking and smart sensors in a frame that’s as sleek as it is playful.
Everything on the screen — from texts to video calls — looks sharp thanks to its 360×360 pixel resolution and deep contrast. The ultra-responsive touchscreen is designed for little fingers, making it easy for kids to call, text and share using their unique social platform built for families and myFirst’s ever-growing ecosystem of connected kids devices.
Thoughtful details enhance the everyday experience. A light sensor automatically adjusts brightness to extend battery life. Fitness and heart rate sensors (as well as digital badges) encourage healthy habits, helping parents reward wellness. The water lock feature dries out the waterproof speakers with a drop of fun animation. And it all seamlessly connects together.
Unlike many GPS watches for kids, the myFirst Fone R2 includes a high-res camera for capturing special moments that only children notice. Kids can snap selfies, make a photo gallery of backyard adventures and add fun filters before sharing instantly through the myFirst Circle app. It’s not just an SOS smartwatch — it’s a tool for sharing creativity.
