The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
T-Mobile announced today that starting on November 5th, two exclusive smartwatches will be available for new and existing subscribers. And both can be had for the low, low price of free. The two timepieces are the SyncUP KIDS watch and the Timex FamilyConnect SENIOR.
The SyncUP KIDS watch has features for the children to enjoy while also helping parents to stay on top of their kids. Thanks to the virtual keyboard on the timepiece, kids can text, make calls, share video and voice messages to an unlimited number of contacts that have been vetted by the parents. Mom and Dad can track the location of their kids in real-time while setting virtual boundary alerts to warn parents if their children stray.
The device also counts the number of steps taken and the kids can also take photographs to share with their family members. Emergency contacts can be set up and there is a school mode that can be enabled. Parents will need to pair the watch with the SyncUP KIDS App which is available for iOS and Android devices.
