Multiple watches can be registered and tracked in the “myFirst Fone” app.

“MyFirst Fone R1s” is a watch-type smartphone.Equipped with GPSParents can track their child’s whereabouts through the smartphone app. The app has not only your current location, butHistory of what route you have traveled in the pastCan also be displayed.

It’s nice to know where your children are, even if you’re far away.

However, keep in mind that the location of the child displayed on the map is not always real-time. The frequency of tracking can be set from 1 minute to 60 minutes, but since it has a big influence on the charge life, I update it every 10 minutes.

However, that is not real-time information, so if you want to know the location information, be sure to refresh. Moreover, after trying several times, I found that refreshing is likely to display old information once, so updating it twice will display the correct position.

Safety zone setting and school time setting are still alive

Children who have expanded their range of activities to some extent cannot be asked “where are they” one by one.

Thank you for that, “Safety zoneYou can set an “activity range” such as home, school, or lesson location and have the app notify you when you leave it.

Also, make sure that you do not receive notifications during class or lessons.Class modeYou can now bring it to school, but many public elementary schools do not allow you to bring your device, so you will need to follow the rules and set up a forum for discussion.

You can set the alarm on the device side, but you can also set it on the app side.

Press and hold the SOS buttonThen,30 seconds of automatic recordingWill start, and the notification “SOS Alarm” will be sent to the app.

When the administrator opens the app,You will receive an address and voice message in the message.. It’s only 30 seconds, but it’s enough to see what’s going on around you.

It is safe for parents and children to record and let them know the location without having to launch a smartphone recording app or carry an IC recorder with them.

Easy to notice because it is equipped with vibration

myFirst Fone R1sIs new toVibration functionWas installed.

So you will notice video calls, phone calls and text messages. Since “myFirst Fone R1” was only a voice call, the ringing tone was not noticed in a place that was even a little noisy. Therefore, I had to check the notification many times, but with the vibration installed,There was a 100% chance of a response

During Golden Week, I went around a little castle with Matsumoto Castle, Ueda Castle, and Odawara Castle, but even if I couldn’t see my son, I was able to keep in touch by video call, and if I called, “Wait a minute. You don’t have to call out loud! “

Now that I’m also concerned about the spread of infectious diseases, I don’t want to make a loud voice. I thought it matched the needs of the times.

A sense of security that the smartphone is “not”

Voice / video call is possible from the smartphone side

Doesn’t the number of times you get angry with your child increase if you have a smartphone so that you can keep in touch with your child?

It is not uncommon for parents’ emotions to be disturbed by smartphones, such as long-term use of smartphones, loss of smartphones, dropping smartphones and breaking screens.

myFirst Fone R1s“Can solve most of them.

myFirst Fone R1sOther than the administrator, users can connect with each other to take pictures and share them, and exchange recorded voices and text messages, but they cannot play games. In the first place, they cannot surf the Internet, so the screen is more than necessary. It will not be nailed to.

I’m wearing it on my armYou won’t run around and drop it.. In addition, there is a rubber bezel around the screen, which is impact resistant, so there is less risk of breaking the screen.

Children are distracted, and when they have something to worry about, they start running or move to another place on their smartphone. In fact, my son also dropped his smartphone crazy about chasing the cabbage white butterfly, and a child who came to our house tried to leave his smartphone on the balcony and go home.

Children can run around freely to stimulate their five senses and become absorbed in playing. If you are told that you are absorbed in playing and dropped your smartphone, you can feel that you are being scolded unreasonably. In fact, I caught a cabbage white butterfly and scolded his proud son for his smartphone and fell into self-loathing.

Smartphones are convenient, but if you are angry or restrict your child’s behavior because you have them, you will get tired of each other. Run around freely, see my son climbing a tree,I also felt that “myFirst Fone R1s” not only gives parents a sense of security, but also makes their children feel like children.

About two years have passed since the last review, and my son is in the fourth grade of elementary school. Actually, I was worried whether “myFirst Fone R1s” would be attractive to my son who knew the convenience of smartphones, but when I actually used it, I was more than happy with it.

One of the reasons may be that I didn’t put the SIM in the smartphone I gave to my son, so even if I took it out, it only played the role of a camera, but I could track the number of steps, change the face, and play music. It seems that it was more fun than I expected to shed and interact with my parents. It seems that he was happy that he gave me a high degree of freedom and that it was unusual to talk on a smartphone. I thought I didn’t like the ruggedness, but I like the size, so I know I like it a lot.

Parents who are wondering whether to buy a smartphone, or who want to pick up a smartphone but are worried about safety, say, “myFirst Fone R1sWhy don’t you think about it?
