BIGGERFIVE Kids Smart Watch (1.8” Fitness Watch) for Girls & Boys 5–16 in Black

What it is and what problem it solves

If you’re looking for a kids’ smartwatch that nudges daily movement without turning into a full-on phone replacement, the BIGGERFIVE Kids Smart Watch is built around the basics: steps, distance, calories burned and active minutes, plus heart-rate and sleep tracking. It’s a “wear it and see” type of tracker that’s designed to run through the day and keep the data flowing, even when you’re not constantly checking the screen.

On the surface it also offers an entertainment angle with five built-in puzzle games. The twist is that the parental side is meant to be manageable: you can restrict gameplay at school and there’s support for locking games through the app.

At a glance: the things you’ll notice day to day

Where it feels most practical is in daily habits. Automatically counting steps and related activity gives children something measurable to aim for, whether they’re walking to school, playing outside, or doing a PE class. The watch face is also customisable, with access to “100+ cloud dials” via the app and the option to use kids’ own photos for dials, which tends to make a tracker easier to accept long-term.

Health tracking is another core area. The watch supports real-time heart-rate monitoring and tracks sleep patterns. That’s useful for parents who want a simple view of routines, but it’s also worth keeping expectations realistic: it’s a kids fitness watch, so it’s more about everyday awareness than anything clinical.

Sports and activity tracking (and where it may fall short)

The watch supports 80 sports modes, including common ones like walking, running, cycling and basketball. In practice, that means it has plenty of options for different playground and training routines.

However, if your priority is detailed training metrics for serious sport, this is more of a “general activity trainer” than a sports tool. It’s likely to feel more in its element for school days, family weekends and casual fitness rather than for someone trying to analyse performance deeply.

The screen, games and app control

A 1.8" HD touch screen is at the centre of the experience, and the watch can be used with or without an app. If you don’t want to involve a phone right away, you can run it separately. With the app, you unlock more functions and the puzzle games can be restricted under parents’ control.

One practical limitation to consider: the “more functions” and parental restrictions sit with the app route, so if you’re planning to keep it phone-free, you’ll be relying on what works on the watch itself.

Puzzle games are built in (five of them). It’s a decent way to keep children engaged without immediately reaching for other devices, but if your goal is zero distractions at school, you’ll want to use the app controls where available.

Where it shines: best use cases

Worth considering if you want: - A kids smartwatch that encourages everyday movement through steps, distance, calories and active minutes. - A tracker that includes heart-rate and sleep monitoring for routine awareness. - A bit of fun (puzzle games) that can be managed by parents. - A watch experience that can work independently without a phone, while still offering extra features if you choose to add the app.

It also makes sense as a gift for birthdays or Christmas, especially for children who like custom watch faces and enjoy small daily goals.

Tech notes to check before you buy

Before committing, it’s a good idea to confirm the phone compatibility you plan to use: the watch supports Android 6.0+ and iOS 9.0+ smartphones. Also, while the product is described as IP68 waterproof, it’s still wise to think about how it will be used day-to-day (for example, supervised swimming vs. rough handling), because “water-resistant” features don’t automatically mean it’s designed for every extreme situation.

Finally, if you’re sensitive to screen time, decide whether you want the child to have access to built-in games by default, since engagement features tend to be the first thing kids test.

Who it suits, and who should skip it

It makes sense if you want a straightforward kids fitness watch with activity tracking, heart-rate and sleep features, plus some kid-friendly games that parents can rein in.

It may not be a great match if you’re expecting a smartwatch experience that’s closer to a full smart device, or if you want advanced sports analytics. It’s also not the best choice if you know you won’t use the app at all, because some of the most useful parental controls sit there.

Final verdict

Is it worth it? The BIGGERFIVE Kids Smart Watch looks like a sensible pick if you want a kids fitness watch that’s genuinely aimed at everyday movement (steps, distance, calories and active minutes) alongside heart-rate and sleep tracking, with the added benefit of parental control over puzzle games. You may want to think twice if you’re after deep sports analytics or if you’re not planning to use the app at all, since some of the “managed” features are tied to that setup.
