I went hands-on with the new Pinwheel smartwatch for kids — and it reminds me a lot of an Apple Watch Ultra

A kid-friendly smartwatch that parents will love
The new Pinwheel smartwatch is one of the coolest wearables I came across at CES 2025. And though it looks like a proper smartwatch — at a glance, one could easily mistake it for an Apple Watch Ultra — the Pinwheel watch is actually built with kids in mind.
Pinwheel has been making kid-centric smartphones since its launch in 2020 but this is the brand's first wearable device. Equipped with GPS and 4G LTE, the concept behind the watch is to provide youngsters with "training wheels for connected devices."
Packed with safety tools so parents can keep tabs on their child's location, contacts and messages, it also boasts a huge library of kid-friendly apps and games. There's even an AI chatbot tailored to youngsters (parents can disable this feature, of course).
Set to ship by the end of March, I got my hands on the forthcoming Pinwheel smartwatch on the CES show floor this month and chatted with the team behind it to learn more. Here's everything you need to know about this promising new kid-centric smartwatch.
Pinwheel smartwatch: Price and availability
Announced at CES 2025, the Pinwheel smartwatch is anticipated to start shipping in February. It will cost $159 for the device, plus an additional $15 a month for 4G LTE (provided by AT&T).
