Why inexpensive children's watches can cost more
When looking for a GPS watch for children, some offers display a very low price for the watch.
It may seem more economical… but that's not always the case in the long run.
The true price is not visible at first
Some watches are offered with a monthly payment and a mandatory associated subscription.
The watch looks inexpensive, but the total cost depends mainly on the monthly subscription.
Over 24 months, the difference can exceed €100 compared to a watch bought directly and used with a flexible plan.
The importance of freedom
A watch compatible with all SIM cards allows you to:
- Operator selection
- Adjust the package
- Using the watch abroad
- Stop whenever you want
- To choose the operator
With a watch linked to an operator, the service is integrated but less flexible.
Features
Depending on the model, some of our watches also allow you to:
- Educational application installations
- More customizable system
- MP3 Player
- Calculator
- Diary
- Google Translate
- Simple games
Sustainability
The type of charging can also play a role:
- Closed magnetic connector → less exposed to water and impacts
- Open USB port → more susceptible to daily wear and tear and breakage.
Key takeaways
The initial price displayed is not enough to compare a children's watch.
The most important factor remains the total cost over time and the freedom of use.
Before choosing, it is advisable to look at:
- The commitment
- The package
- The total cost over 24 months
- The functions
